@sdetweil said in New module: Weather effects:

@uros76 yes, it was https://github.com/glitch452/MMM-ViewNotifications

it shows for me

Well that’s interesting. I will keep trying to get this one to work. Not sure why it’s refusing to workfor me

@cgillinger duh, why didn’t I think of setting to a city where it rains LOL. I picked a random rainy city and presto, it works! Tnx again for this module.

@sdetweil thanks. I installed the MMM-Logging and checked the npm start console for any hint of notifications coming through but I can’t see anything related to notifications being broadcasted. I am probably missing something obvious again :(
And I can’t seem to find the MMM-Notifications location. Do you perhaps have a link to it?
I did thind this one but it doesn’t show anything https://github.com/glitch452/MMM-ViewNotifications

I just inspected the pm2 log and under the latest entries I can’t see anything about weather module broadcasting notifications.
Do I need to looks somewhere else?

Excellent! I was hoping someone would come up with this idea and module 😊. Thanks for this.
I have added allowOverrideNotification: true to the weather module config. At the moment we don’t have any rain or snow falling so can’t really confirm it works.

Can you share more about how to check the console for weather notifications?

This is awesome!
One suggestion, can you add a configuration setting to specify the png location/name? This way we could use this module for other festive periods :). For example moving snowflake in the winter

@Lipax there you go, nothing wrong with the software code. It’s the PIR sensor giving false positives. Nothing you can really do about that. Perhaps a different brand/quality of PIR sensor if it will help but I doubt.

As mentioned before, due to exact same problem I gave up on PIR sensor completely and moved to the microwave. This works for me now over 3 years. without false positives.

@Lipax you need to be sure that sensor is not the cause.
Measuring it’s sensing, output voltage and duration is a good way of confirming if sensor works ok.

@Lipax try different gpio pin, like a pin 18 which is a GPIO 5. It’s default set to input function. Don’t forget to adjust the python code, change switch to 18.

You might check the GPIO 0 (your pin 11) if it is set to input. Use command: raspi-gpio get 0 or raspi-gpio get to check all GPIO’s.

Also, use a multimeter to measure the voltage coming out from sensor. It should be around 3.3V for few seconds when sensing detected. This way you can monitor if actual detection / voltage is coming from sensor.

Can you share your python code? Perhaps there’s something there

@Lipax this sensor is very sensitive and catches any movement 360 around from several meters away. I had same problem… If you don’t dial down the sensitivity-range you will keep getting false positives.
