Weather not updating periodically
-
@zachlan I haven’t seen this, but I wonder if there is a throttling by the Wunderground API? Does it properly reload after a reboot?
-
@bhepler - It does properly update after a reload. I’m not sure how long it works after the reload, since the weather doesn’t change all that often I’m looking at the WU analytics page but thats not very granular.

I had the same issue and - after some investigation - found that sometimes (for whatever reason) the hourly forecast from WU is not retrieved. Changing line 981 in MMM-WunderGround.js to “if (this.config.hourly == 1 && data.hourly_forecast.length > 0) {” solves the problem.

I’ve had the same issue. It’s not a network issue as I can start another instance of MM via a browser (I have my mirror set to a fixed IP on my network), and everything works fine. Doing a reboot and/or a “pm2 restart mm” works also. My hacky fix for now is to set up a cronjob that restarts the MM (using pm2) every 2 hours. I will try anatius fix of altering the code to do an additional check.

I replaced my firewall with a better one so I could do some caps and have more granular control but didn’t seem to make a difference. I updated the code on Saturday, we’ll see if it holds. Thanks.
