Module: Weather Forecast

This is a module for MagicMirror, forked from RedNax67's MMM-WunderGround https://github.com/RedNax67/MMM-WunderGround.git (MMM-WunderGround is a modified version of the default weatherforecast module.)

This is nearly identical to the MMM-WunderGround module with a couple of tweaks and style changes.

Five additonal configurations are added:

• currentweather: 1 or 0
• currentweatherdetails: 1 or 0
• forecasttable: 1 or 0
• forecasttablecolumnheadericons: 1 or 0
• forecasttableheadertext: Whatever title you would like above the forecast table.

The Weather Icons used in this module are created and maintained by Erik Flowers. v1.0 artwork by Lukas Bischoff. v1.1 - 2.0 artwork by Erik Flowers www.weathericons.io

Due to end of Life for free Weather Underground API, the module is now tweaked to use the free weatherbit.io API's by github user martinkooij. The changed config variables are marked with a "*".
