    • MMM-WunderGround-PWS-Observations

      Ive just put together a basic module to display PWS data from Weather Underground since API’s are now only available for free to PWS owners.

      https://github.com/saabman/MMM-WunderGround-PWS-Observations/

      It just displays the current data from a specified PWS and you can select what data is displayed.

    • RE: MMM-MyWeather not working with Southern Hemisphere co-ordinates

      @harney thats a pitty the BOM doesnt have close data for your site.
      I have found that all the regular weather providers (Open weather, darksky etc) forecasts and observations are less than adequate for Oz.

      So I have been reworking the Weather Module from WallberryTheme to use Aus govs BOM data. getting observations was easier enough as they provide that in JSON format which makes it some what easy but they only provide XML data for forecasts and the format is different for every site 😞 so my plans to “release” my module have stalled. because it has to be customised for each site.

      @harney

      yes the XML issue was a problem but I got around that by downloading the XML then as sdetweil suggested using XLM2JS to convert the file to JSON which I could ten search for the relevant fields unfortunately its not very tidy and needs customizing for each site.

      IF you want to have a look at how Ive done it the files are here
      https://github.com/saabman/WallberryTheme/blob/master/WB-weather/README.md

      I am not by any means a programmer - just kept hacking away at the weather module till it did what I wanted - Im sure there are better ways to do it… hopefully it is help full any way

      @harney

      Unfortunately BOM lately has made changes to their site which is preventing accessing their data claiming it’s scraping but they provide a JSON file which I’m accessing (for part of it anyway) so my module no longer works- I’ve changed things a couple of times to circumvent the issue but it keeps coming back so I’m going to look at other ways to access the data. One that looks promising is WillyWeather. It is a paid service based on the number of access’s billed monthly. But it appears to be very cheap - It looks like for one Magic Mirror accessing data from one weather station and radar image works out at less than $10 a year.
      When accessing the BOM currently they return a message to fill in a request form and some one will make contact - I filled in their form a couple of months ago and am yet to receive a response. Maybe when they get the servers sorted out things might change….

    • RE: MMM-WunderGround-PWS-Observations

      @Volkae I think the issue may be because it is set to align right line 55 in MMM-WunderGround-PWS-Observations.css

      Line 56 gives some left padding of 10px maybe try increasing the padding.
      I cant try it myself at the moment my weather station is in the process of being relocated so Im not using Wunderground ATM. Ill try and set some something so I can play with it and try it out.

      Im assuming you have the Wuderground module to the left of the weather module.

      Im just muddling my way through this CSS process my self. I just play with some values and references and see what happens

    • RE: Sync private iCloud calendar with MagicMirror

      @anhanyoung91 Hi, I just followed the instructions on the first page.
      I did have an issue at one point and it was just because I didn’t follow the instructions exactly as written.
      If your getting an error Permission denied: /home/pi to me that sounds like you may not have the path to the vdirsyncer status folder set right. It appears it is trying to write to the /home/pi folder rather than ~/.vdirsyncer/status/

      Id go through the steps again and make sure you don’t skip anything.

      As for the array issue in the vdirsyncer config I have 2 calendars I sync and the line looks something like this
      where home is my main calendar and the random number string is my birthdays calendar.

      collections = ["home","57B7E3E-AB79-4DC3-9CF1-A63EB181DB"]
      

      hope that helps

    • RE: SMHI RADAR

      I was displaying Radar images from my local radar provider BOM.gov.au just by using an iframe and loading the appropriate URL.
      You might be able to try something simlar.

      Unfortantely BOM has started rejecting automated requests and it has stopped working for me but your provider might be more open.

    • RE: custom news feed like a live ticker

      the tricky bit would be exporting the data from your work scheduler. Once you have the text you want accesibly by the MM than your more than half way there.

    • RE: Sun Intensity

      @dazz maybe have a look at the PVOutput module which is intended to display data from your solar system ( if you upload data to PVOutput) if you don’t have a solar system uploading to PVOutput you could browse the available systems in your area and display their data.

      It would give you a graph of the current solar intensity through out the day.
