Change Weather units

[hamiltro84]

I have the weather module all configured, and it shows imperial units, but when I show the weather information on the calendar it all seems to be in metric. I have defined units within the MMM-CalendarExt3 config module. I have setup my locate to:
locale: 'en-US-u-ca-iso8601-hc-h23'

I will be honest I would not be surprised if the key to unlocking the imperial units is hidden in the locale code. Maybe an easier way to convert time to 23h or just drop the AM/PM to save some room on the calendar. Sorry this is about weather units not time.

The weather information is derived from default weather module(or 3rd party module that emit equivalent notification), so the value respects the setting of the original weather module. When you set the weather module as imperial, the value would be Fahrenheit. It is not decided by this module.

[hamiltro84]

even with the weather module set to imperial the MMM-CalendarEXT3 does not show the imperial unit but rather the default metric.

Here is a screen shot of the Weather Module and MMM-CalendarEXT3 running

Hmmm... This is very weird. Can I see your config of the weather module (without your private key)? Because there is no conversion logic between imperial/metric in this module. This module only shows the data from the weather module directly.

[hamiltro84]

Sure, here you go, also included the MMM-CalendarExt3 incase I has something set wrong messing it up.

{
	module: "weather",
	position: "top_right",
	config: {
		weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
		type: "forecast",
		units: "imperial",
		tempUnits: "imperial",
		roundTemp: true,
		updateInterval: 3600000,
		colored: true,
		fade: false,
		maxNumberOfDays: "7",
		weatherEndpoint: "/forecast",
		locationID: "4515843",
		location: 'Kettering',
		apiKey: "Secret_apiKey"
	}
},
{
	module: "MMM-CalendarExt3",
	position: "middle",
	title: "",
	config: {
		mode: 'week',
		weekIndex: 0,
		weeksInView: 4,
		instanceId: 'basicCalendar',
		useWeather: true,
		weatherLocationName:'Kettering',
		locale: 'en-US-u-ca-iso8601-hc-h23',
		maxEventLines: 5,
		firstDayOfWeek: 0,
		calendarSet: ['us_holiday'],
	}
},

To test more detail, Can you share the LocationID and Location also?

[hamiltro84]

I updated my code to include everything, only thing missing is my Secret apiKey

[eouia]

Hmmm... With my test, the unit of temperature is coming from the weather module directly.

[hamiltro84]

I tasted on a fresh deploy on my RPI4 but had the same issue. What do you have listed in your CSS to get the temperate to display. this could be my issue.
mine as a follows

.CX3 .cellHeader .cellWeather .temperature {
  display: inline-block;
}
.CX3 .cellHeader .cellWeather .temperature {
	color: var(--defaultcolor);
}

[eouia]

Nothing different with yours.
Ok, I'll provide you some test version in a time.

[eouia]

I uploaded temp_test version on the repository. To apply it;

// GOTO MMM-CalendarExt3 directory

git pull
git checkout temp_test

Then go to MM directory

npm run start:dev

Warning: You have to terminate your current MM before this. If you are using PM2, stop it.

You can see dev-console somewhere on the MM screen (usually right side)

I modified the codes to spit out some more information there.

Check ORIGINAL WEATHER array. Confirm maxTemperature, minTemperature, units, tempUnits.

[hamiltro84]

Still having issues, I am just going to start from scratch, even scratch configurations. Thanks for the help so far, I will let you know what happens with the true reset button

[eouia]

As you can see the dev-console, original weather information from API itself seems set as metric unit (9.5 and 2.72 : max/minTemperature) So nothing wrong on my module.

But I don’t know why the weather module could show Farhenheit with Celcius data.

This was fixed in MagicMirror² core with PR #3519 (released in v2.29.0, October 2024) 🙂
