MMM-AccuWeatherForecastDeluxe

This is a MagicMirror² module that displays current, hourly and daily forecast information using data from the AccuWeather.

Tiled Layouts	Bars Layout (daily forecast only)

Installation

Navigate into your MagicMirror's modules folder and execute git clone https://github.com/maxbethge/MMM-AccuWeatherForecastDeluxe.
Enter the new MMM-AccuWeatherForecastDeluxe directory and execute npm install.

Configuration

At a minimum you need to supply the following required configuration parameters:

apikey
locationKey

You can request an API key to access data here: https://developer.accuweather.com/packages

Free tier is fine -- by itself, a single instance of this module will not make any where near 1000 request on one day with the default updateInterval of 10. However, if the updateInterval is more frequent, create another Accuweather account to get a second API key and add to apiKey2.

Find the locationKey using the Accuweather search API http://dataservice.accuweather.com/locations/v1/cities/search?apikey={apiKey}&q={cityName}

Sample Configuration

  module: "MMM-AccuWeatherForecastDeluxe",
  header: "Tiled Layouts",
  position: "top_right",
  classes: "default everyone",
  disabled: false,
  config: {

Using Multiple Instances

Using increasingly larger requestDelay values can help prevent the API calls of multiple instances from being too close together, but ultimately each instance will make it's own api calls, which when combined with other modules that might use the same API, can threaten your rate limit.

You can use the listenerOnly option with multiple instances, so that only a primary one makes API calls, and other listenerOnly instances strictly do not, and instead receive notifications broadcasted with the api's payload whenever the primary instance gets its data. listenerOnly instances will not use/do not need the apikey, latitude, longitude, endpoint, updateInterval or requestDelay paremeters.

Optional Parameters

Option	Description
`endpoint`	The URL of the accuweather api; a free subscription with a limited quota and can be used with `http://dataservice.accuweather.com` Type `String` Defaults to `http://dataservice.accuweather.com`

`showForecastTableColumnHeaderIcons`	Whether to show icons column headers on the forecast table. Type `Boolean` Defaults to `true`
`showHourlyForecast`	Whether to show hourly forecast information. when set to `true` it works with the `hourlyForecastInterval` and `maxHourliesToShow` parameters. Type `Boolean` Defaults to `true`
`hourlyForecastLayout`	Can be set to `table` or `tiled`. How to display hourly and forecast information. See below for screenshot examples of each. Type `String` Defaults to `tiled`
`hourlyForecastInterval`	How many hours apart each listed hourly forecast is. Type `Number` Defaults to `3`
`maxHourliesToShow`	How many hourly forecasts to list. Type `Number` Defaults to `3`
`dailyForecastHeaderText`	Show a header above the daily forecast display. Type `String` Defaults to `""`
`showDailyForecast`	Whether to show daily forecast information. when set to `true` it works with the `maxDailiesToShow` parameter. Type `Boolean` Defaults to `true`

`useAnimatedIcons`	*LEGACY, please use icon set '6fa' or '6oa' for animated icons* Whether to use the Dark Sky's own animated icon set. When set to true, this will override your choice for `iconset`. However, flat icons will still be used in some instances. For example if you set the `animateMainIconOnly` parameter to true, daily and hourly forecasts will not be animated and instead will use your choice for `iconset`. Inline icons (i.e. used to prefix precipitation and wind information) will always be flat. A good `iconset` match for the animated set is `1c`. Type `Boolean` Defaults to `true`
`animateMainIconOnly`	When set to `true`, only the main current conditions icon is animated. The rest use your choice for `iconset` (`1c` is a good match for the animated icon). If you are running on a low-powered device like a Raspberry Pi, performance may suffer if you set this to `false`. In my testing on a Pi 3b, enabling this ramped up CPU temperature by 15° - 20°, and fade transitions were not smooth. Type `Boolean` Defaults to `true`
