OpenWeatherMap widget for HABPanel

Johannes_B · January 24, 2021, 4:12pm

Hi there, anyone still experiencing problems with the “small” icons .png in /images.

I’m running Openhab on Raspbian (RPi 3B+) and I couldn’t even open the .png files in file explorer on my pi!
It showed me a message saying file format was corrupt.

What I did is this:

Open png files on Windows with Irfanview (maybe other program works too)
Save the images as .png again.
Copy to destined folder at Openhab on my pi
reloaded twice → worked

You need to expand the widget to you resolution.

Try to edit the json file and remove these two parts:
tborder-right: 1px solid #d7d7d7; tborder-left: 1px solid #d7d7d7;

You can change the dimensions of each widget yourselfs. Go into edit mode and drag the right bottom corner.

bastiaan_van_h · February 1, 2021, 2:53pm

You are right, the API returns m/s not km/h. I have corrected the items file.

Hello everyone,
I picked the free API und installed the habpanel widget.
But I only get 24 h forecast?

Hi I have tried running though the guide but for some reason the items are not linking to the channels.

so its showing null on the widget

I have changed the id in the items file and put it in /etc/openhab2/items

Might just be me not being so familiar with openhab, hope you can help.

Hello Everybody

I’ve have a different trouble: the widget OWM is empty.
I’m using OH3.
I followed the instruction.
The “local weather and forcast” thing is running and I think that all items are correctly linked to the channels because they have an updated value instead of NULL.

I’ve copied images folder, the owm.controller.js file and weather-icons-master folder in /etc/openhab/html/openweathermap. I changed the ownner of the file in the user openhab .

I imported the widget OWM in HABPanel, I tryed to edit and save it, but the widget appears always empty.

Could somebody suggest any possible reasons?

qcontinuum · February 18, 2021, 8:54pm

Same for me… Oh3, all placed in right directories, things working… If I add a dummy tile with direct link(ex temp) it works, but widget is always empty

Smarthome_user · February 19, 2021, 8:33am

I got the linking to work, but are still just seeing a empty widget. looking in pagerui I see all the data.

igtek · February 19, 2021, 4:15pm

I solved. The problem was in the download of owm.controller.js file.
I’ve downloaded it again and overwrited it.

Now, I enjoy the OpenWeatherMap widget. Thanks Bastiaan for your job.

Hi There,

stupid question: where to put the .js-file in OH3?

ToHe2307 · March 29, 2021, 4:06pm

hmmm… I have now created an archive “openweathermap” in etc/openhab/html and put the js-file inside. It started working, but only partially:

What did I do wrong?

meke · April 3, 2021, 2:00pm

Hi,
I have same problem.
The “config.show_current” is empty, so it dosen’t work.

pschieti · April 16, 2021, 11:07am

Hello together,

I am new here and new to openHAB. I like the OpenWeatherMap widget solution and want to import and configure that on my openHAB. I followed the installiation guide and can see all item in my Paper UI:

My folder structure on my openHAB looks as expected But as I put the corresponding widget to my HABPanel I see nothing. What could be the issue? Thanks for your help!

Best,
Martin

Hi Everyone,

I’m new here too, but I think I worked out that a possible solution to post #289 might come from the comment in post #287. I believe this is saying to make a directory called “openweathermap” in a different location than the OP has listed on their github page. I’m running OH3 with OWM 3 (on a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspian stretch) and in order to solve the blank widget issue, I did the following utilizing the command line and the information in this thread:

Follow all instructions from the OP’s git hub page for the installation of the widget, but change the location of where you copy the files according to the next points.
Create a new directory “openweathermap” inside openhab/html/ instead of inside openhab/conf/html.
copy the owm.controller.js file and the weather-icons-master and images directories indicated by the OP into the openhab/html/openweathermap directory.
refresh the panel and see if it worked

I hope this might fix the partial and/or blank widget issue since it seemed to work for me.

Many thanks to Bastiaan for making this wonderful resource!
Cheers!

pschieti · April 30, 2021, 2:28pm

Hi,

I put the files into the “openhab-conf” samba folder. That meens, that I copied the needed files into your proposed directory: “/etc/openhab/html/openweathermap”, but it does not work as in many posts described.

So your solution is installed on my Pi …

Apfeltabak · May 11, 2021, 6:41am

Hi, i copied the “owm-widget.items”-file from the descriped “/openweathermap”-folder into the “/items”-folder and than it worked.

p-binkele · June 24, 2021, 11:58am

Hi,
On the PC the widget works perfect, but on the IPad mini i use as Panel the widget is only white. Can someone help me?

liveislife · July 10, 2021, 9:49pm

Thank you very much for the widget. It’s working out of the box and looks great!

Is there a possibility that nighttime icons will also be used in the future? Or did I miss something within the configuration?

Best regards

EDIT: Have you thought about using the onecall api data for the 4-day forecast? The api delivers the daily minimum and maximum values, so you don´t need a calculation (and it is a bit more precise ). You only need a second thing.
