MMM-darksky-hourly

This an extension for MagicMirror that adds localized weather using the Dark Sky API (originally Forecast.io) -- the same service that powers the Dark Sky App.

screenshot

This is a heavily modified version of MMM-forecast-io that aims to present current and hourly information on temperature and likelihood of rain.

Using the module

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

modules: [
  {
    module: 'MMM-darksky-hourly',
    position: 'top_right',  // This can be any of the regions.
    config: {
      // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
      apiKey: 'abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab', // Dark Sky API key.
      latitude:   16.77532,
      longitude: -3.008265
