Now you can simply set source instead complex notification & payloadConverter
- MMM-DarkSkyForecast is supported as source
- Currently supported source : currentweather, MMM-NOAA3, MMM-DarkSkyForecast
Background image position is centered now.

Now you can assign specific collection to specific keyword as your wish to get more related pictures.

By example, you can assign 1877260 as source of clear-day pictures.

is this supposed to work with: MMM-OpenWeatherForecast?
and how should this behave if there is more than one instance of the same plugin configured?

I see the module, and this post, are not really active, so if it is not supported (or maintained) anymore - just ignore me!

I was the original author of that module. ;)
Basically, if any module could emit any notification and it could be translated properly, it will work.
You can define your customization with payloadConverter and notification in config.js

notification: "SOME MODULE NOTI",
payloadConverter:(payload)=>{
        return  "windy night spring"  // <= query text for the image.  
}

Currently, this module is managed by brianHelper

@mmrize hey thanks! I figure that out myself already digging into the code!
cool module, I never really thought about using an event to customize the payload and have a function as a config value… I may play around with it a little more and come back if I have any question :)

Thanks goes to @eouia for the many changes.

REMOVED Removing dependency of dying momentJS
ADDED config.monthMap : Now you can define keywords per month. (It could be the replacement of config.hemisphere). You can set winter christmas santa-clause as keyword for December. Or you can set spring to March, April, May.
ADDED config.externalCollections : separated collections data to external file.
ADDED config.size is added. you can set pictures original dimension by this value. (this value is not for cropping. Rather for resolution optimizing.)
CHANGED Default weather module source - weather is added.
REMOVED Obsoleted weather module source - currentweather is removed.
ADDED CSS controllable. Now you can control the style(CSS selector .WTHBGR) more comfortably.
CHANGED Current collection list was too huge and not maintained. Now Collection fallback is supported. When the module cannot find a proper collection, the keyword searching would be alternated instead.
CHANGED Now, collection matching is based on match-score.

@MMRIZE How do I get it to work with open weather module?

MMRIZE

@EphraimB
There were so many modules using openweather API(So I don’t know which module is what you mentioned), but since MM changed its default weather module, the default weather module could also handle openweather API natively. So, just use the default weather module.
Or, request the developer of your open-weather-using-module to support CURRENTWEATHER_TYPE notification to be compatible with the default weather module.
