Configuration options

The following properties can be configured:

Option	Description
alwaysDisplay	Set this to always display the specified default effect, regardless of weather. Does not work for custom effects; to always display custom effects leave out weatherCode, month, day and year. Options: cloudy, fog, lightning, rain-lightning, rain, sun, snow Type: string Default value: null
api_key	Required This is the API key you need to use to request weather data from the OpenWeatherMap site. Details on how to request an API key can be found here Type: string Default value: null
effectDuration	The length, in milliseconds, to display the effect. Type: number Default value: 120000
effectDelay	The length, in milliseconds, to wait to restart the effect. Type: number Default value: 60000
fadeDuration	The length, in milliseconds, to fade out all effects. Type: number Default value: 3000
hideSnow	If true, will never display the “snow” effect. Type: boolean Default value: false
hideSnowman	If false, will display an animation at the bottom of a snowman being built if the current weather is snow and hideSnow is false. The animation lasts for the effectDuration with a 10 second delay. Type: boolean Default value: true
hideRain	If true, will never display the “rain” effect. Type: boolean Default value: false
hideFlower	If false, will display an animation at the bottom of a flower growing if the current weather is rain and hideRain is false. The animation lasts for the effectDuration with a 10 second delay. Type: boolean Default value: true

hideLightning	If true, will never display the “lightning” effect. Type: boolean Default value: false
hideSun	If true, will never display the “sun” effect. Type: boolean Default value: false
lightning1Count	Sets how many times the lightning1.png image will be displayed during the effect duration if current weather is thunderstorm. Type: number Default value: 2
lightning2Count	Sets how many times the lightning2.png image will be displayed during the effect duration if current weather is thunderstorm. Type: number Default value: 3
locationID	Required (or use lat/lon) The locationID from OpenWeatherMap for your city to get current weather. Follow steps here to find city ID Type: integer Default value: 0
lat	Required with lon (or use locationID) This is the latitude of the location you want to get the weather for. Type: number Default value: 0.0
lon	Required with lat (or use locationID) This is the longitude of the location you want to get the weather for. Type: number Default value: 0.0
particleCount	The number of particles to show for each effect. Higher counts may cause performance issues. This can be overriden in each effect. Type: integer Default value: 100
realisticClouds	If true, shows more realistic cloud effect. Uses the cloud pictures with varying size and amount based on current weather cloud density. Type: boolean Default value: false
sequential	If set, will not display weather and a custom effect at the same time. It will run for effectDuration, wait for effectDelay, and then show the next. Repeats until either the weather changes and/or the effect date/holiday is no longer today. If not set, both weather and effect can be seen together. weather to see weather first effect to see effect first effect-one to see effect first but only 1 effect at a time, going in order of the array. Options:weather,effect,effect-one Type: string Default value: null
sunImage	Determines which image to display when sunny. Options:sun_center,sun_large,sun_left,sun_right Type: string Default value: sun_right
weatherInterval	How often the weather is updated. Type: integer Default value: 600000 // 10 minutes
opacity	Sets the opacity of the module’s wrapper. Use a value between 0.1 and 1. Type: number Default value: 1

Effect options

Option	Description
direction	How the effect moves across the screen. Options: up, down, right-left, left-right Type: string Default value: up
month	The month (1-12) of the date to display this effect on. Must not set weatherCode or holiday. Type: number Default value: 0
day	The day of the month (1-31) of the date to display this effect on. Must not set weatherCode or holiday. Type: number Default value: 0
year	The year (4 digits) of the date to display this effect on. You can leave it out or set to zero to ignore the year and it will just check month and date. If you want to use dates, then you must not set weatherCode or holiday. Type: number Default value: 0
holiday	Will display the effect on the holiday found at https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/us/?hol=43122559. Simply copy the “Name” value from that table. Type: string Default value: null
images	An array of image files to display at random for this effect. All files need to be in the “images” folder of the MMM-DynamicWeather module folder. Type: string[] Default value: null
particleCount	The number of particles to show for the effect. Higher counts may cause performance issues. If this is not set, it will use the particleCount from the general configuration. Type: integer Default value: null
maxSpeed	The maximum speed, in seconds, for the effect’s image to cross the screen. Closer to zero is faster. Each effect particle is randomized between maxSpeed and minSpeed. Type: number Default value: 100
minSpeed	The minimum speed, in seconds, for the effect’s image to cross the screen. Closer to zero is faster. Each effect particle is randomized between maxSpeed and minSpeed. Type: number Default value: 50
recurrence	Display the effect repeatedly. Yearly - Not a recurrence option, just leave year unset or zero. Options:monthly,weekly,weekdays,weekends Type: string Default value: null
size	The size factor to display the image; larger the number the larger the picture. Type: number Default value: 1
