Displays the level of pollen for a region of the UK. Built as a module for MagicMirror2
The basic implementation involves scraping the UK Met Office pollen forecast. The result is sanitised and parsed to display the forecast today with a list of airborne allergens. The module is inactive between October and Feburary as we are out of pollen season.
Be warned. An update to the UK Met Office site layout could break this module.
I am not currently planning any additional functionality as it was built primarily for my own mirror. The customisation is fairly limited, but can be adjusted to some degree using a custom.css file.
Locate your modules directory and run the below command:
(git clone https://github.com/NashJames/MMM-UK-Pollen-Today && cd MMM-UK-Pollen-Today && npm i --omit dev);{
module: "MMM-UK-Pollen-Today",
position: "top_left",
config: {
region: 'se', // Region as defined on Met Office website. See table below.
cronSchedule: '0 6 * * *', // Fetch frequency (https://cron.help/#0_6_*_*_*)
showAirborneAllergens: true, // Display airborne allergens list
colours: { // Icon & text colour customisation
NONE: '#333333',
LOW: '#009966',
MODERATE: '#ffde33',
HIGH: '#ff9933',
VERY_HIGH: '#cc0033',
NO_DATA: '#ffffff',
},
},
},Important
Be careful Increasing tbe fetch rate significantly as you may incur rate limiting or an IP ban from the UK Met Office.
