Module: MMM-Farevarsel

The MMM-Farevarsel module is a MagicMirror² addon. This module displays weather alerts (text based) from the Norwegian Meteorological Institute (https://api.met.no/). I used TuxDiver's MMM-Rest as a starting point for this module.

The alerts only cover Norwegian areas and are (therefore) only in Norwegian

Installation

Run the following commands

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules
git clone https://github.com/mabahj/MMM-Farevarsel
cd MMM-Farevarsel
npm install

Do not forget the "npm install" at the end - it fetches the required sub dependencies.

Changelog

• 2024-09-10: Review: Remove deprecated dependency 'request' and little changes like formatting and typos. No functional changes.
• 2024-09-09: Updated to 2.0 API, the previous was depreciated. Added user agent, as required by met.no. Added some county information in the README.md and improved information when it failed (server side error log).
• 2019-11-11: First attempt at creating a (this) MagicMirror Module.

Known Issues

• I am not a software developer. There are probably a lot of things that can fail. But it work just fine for me. PRs welcome. :)

Using the module

To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

  {
    module: 'MMM-Farevarsel',
    position: 'top_bar',      // This can be any of the regions. I think.
    config: {
      county: '02',           // See below
      colorBackground: true,
    },
  },

Configuration options

The following properties can be configured. Non of these are required, but county is probably valuable to set unless you live in Oslo.

Option	Default	Description
county	'03'	The county (in Norway) to fetch weather alerts for. Two digits are required, so prefix with 0 if single digit. See https://data.norge.no/datasets/dd05acaa-1c89-4139-8612-0ad10e75d6a6 for a list of counties. Default is '03' for Oslo. This field is a string, so it must be enclosed in quotation marks: E.g. '02' or “02”.
