@ray I’m really sorry, I’ve got things wrong.

I’m not sure why, but I thought you meant that you were using the Open Weather Map configuration for the default weather module, which is what I’m doing. At least that explains why our experiences don’t match up.

Sorry :confounded_face:

@elmago What is it that you want to do exactly?

As @sdetweil says, only one instance can be on the screen at a time. Are you trying to run one on the screen and access another one remotely? If you are, this may help.

I’ve got two instances running, and they have different modules and a different port. The ‘standard’ MM instance uses the mm.sh that’s generated from @sdetweil’s script:

cd ./MagicMirror
DISPLAY=:0 npm start

while my second instance runs as a server, and doesn’t display on the Pi’s screen. My second instance is in the MagicMirror2 folder and uses this script:

cd ./MagicMirror2
DISPLAY=:0 npm run server

I use a separate .sh script, but someone more knowledgeable could probably combine them. The first section of the config.js lets you define which port you want MM to use, so I changed it on the one I wanted to view remotely.

var config = 
{
  address: '0.0.0.0',
  port: 12345,
  ipWhitelist: [
    '127.0.0.1',
    '::ffff:127.0.0.1',
    '::1',
    '::ffff:192.168.0.1/120',
    '192.168.0.1/24'
  ],

@ray said in oneweathermap:

@tippon unfortunately, I have the newer version so location ID is no longer there just coordinate

I’ve got the up to date version too. You can put the locationID in yourself. This is the config for one of my weather modules, with my personal data removed:

    {
      module: 'weather',
      position: 'top_right',
      config: {
		weatherProvider: 'openweathermap',
                type: 'current',
		apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
		locationID: 1234567
		}
    },

As you can see, I’ve removed the coordinates lines and added in the locationID line instead.

You can use the options from the documentation here to change the config to suit your needs:

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html#configuration-options

@ray Try just using the location ID and see if it’s more accurate. I’m pretty sure I had problems when I tried to use both.

You can comment out the coordinate lines by putting // in front of them, so you don’t have to delete and retype them :)

@ray Hi Ray :)

Try changing your weather location in the config file. Instead of using the latitude and longitude, try using locationID and using the value from the Open Weather Map site for your area here (from the end of the url):

https://openweathermap.org/city/5406990

So in your case it would be

locationID: 5406990

I found that this worked for me when the latitude and longitude didn’t :)

@lavolp3 @sdetweil Thanks for the replies, it worked perfectly! :)

I tried a space before and after ‘live’, and both at once. I made a separate entry for ‘delivery’ too, and put it after the ‘live’ line. The ‘delivery’ line wasn’t necessary, but I tried it as an override (which didn’t work), and liked the way it looked :D

{keyword: 'live ', symbol: 'music', color: 'Aqua'},
{keyword: 'delivery', symbol: 'truck', color: 'GreenYellow'},

I recently updated my default calendar module to use colours and symbols for repeating events, using the customEvents option from here:

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/calendar.html#configuration-options

but I’ve since found out that if the keyword is part of another word, the second word triggers the custom colour and symbol too. As an example, I’ve used ‘live’ for live music events, but ‘delivery’ triggers the same colour and symbol.

Does anyone know the correct term for this so that I can try to figure it out please? I can only find answers for creating the Javascript in the first place, but I want a way to limit the term from my config.js, if that’s possible.

@bravooscar That looks great, thanks :)

Hi all :)

I’m looking to add a camera feed to my mirror to display a live stream from at least two IP cameras. I’ve got the two existing cameras set up to stream an RTSP feed, but I’m not sure which is the best way to get the feeds to my mirror.

MMM-RTSPStream seems to be abandoned, and there are a few posts here already saying that MM updates are breaking functionality, so I want to avoid that.

MMM-SmartWebDisplay looks good, and so does MMM-MotionEye, but I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them before I start.

@sdetweil Thank you for the advice :)

Thank you too for being patient with me. I’m finding that I’m struggling more than usual recently when I try to learn something new, and you’ve been very helpful with your replies to my questions :)
