Added a WeatherProvider for Open-Meteo

[angeldeejay]

Added Weather Provider for Open-Meteo.

I've found a completely free weather REST API (event with option of self-hosting) after having problems with API keys from all MagicMirror weather providers currently implemented (the remote services, not the providers themselves).

This API doesn't return information about reverse geocode from latitude and longitude options like others. I solved that issue using another free API.

APIs used

• Open-Meteo Weather Forecast API
• BigDataCloud’s Free Client-Side Reverse Geocoding API

Considerations

• This provider is config reliable so, be free to use the same config you can found in the official MagicMirror Weather module documentation.
• This module config skips the apiKey parameter. It's not used at all. Only latitude and longitude are required.

Config examples:

modules: [
  {
    module: "weather",
    position: "top_right",
    header: "Weather Forecast",
    config: {
      updateInterval: <number here>, 
      weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
      type: "current",
      lat: <number here>,
      lon: <number here>,
      showHumidity: true,
      showWindDirectionAsArrow: true,
      showWindDirection: true,
      degreeLabel: true,
    }
  },
  {
    module: "weather",
    position: "top_right",
    header: "Weather Forecast",
    config: {
      updateInterval: <number here>,
      weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
      type: "daily",
      lat: <number here>,
      lon: <number here>
      colored: true,
      maxNumberOfDays: <number here>,
      showPrecipitationAmount: true,
      appendLocationNameToHeader: true
    }
  },
  {
    module: "weather",
    position: "top_right",
    header: "Weather Forecast",
    config: {
      updateInterval: <number here>,
      weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
      type: "hourly",
      lat: <number here>,
      lon: <number here>,
      maxEntries: <number here>,
      showPrecipitationAmount: true,
      degreeLabel: true,
      appendLocationNameToHeader: true
    }
  },
]

@rejas can you please take a look? Thanks!

@rejas Changes suggested marked as solved

[rejas]

Trying out your PR I get an error with this config:

{
	module: "weather",
	//disabled: true,
	position: "top_right",
	config: {
		weatherProvider: 'openmeteo',
		type: "current",
		lat: 52.520008,
		lon: 13.404954,
	}
},

Error is:

Uncaught TypeError: moment.tz is undefined [openmeteo.js:218:5](http://localhost:8080/modules/default/weather/providers/openmeteo.js)

It seems it tries to guess the timezone? Is that really necessary for a current weather call?

[angeldeejay]

I'll take a look. Thx

[angeldeejay]

@rejas I've removed support for moment-timezone in favor of API Documentation's param timezone with auto value supported now. Timezone is provided automatically by the OpenMeteo API using coordinates given in payload.

Please refer to Open-Meteo Weather Forecast API

[rejas]

The wind units need to be stored in meters per second in the weatherobject, not kmh. Please convert them if the api doesnt provide that

[rejas]

This isnt fixed yet

[rejas]

Since the year is rapidly nearing its end (and therefore a new release is coming up soon) I would propose to merge this even though it still has a bug (or two depending if I caught them all).
The reasoning behind it is:

• this PR doesnt touch any other code, therefor wont break anything
• it adds a new feature/provider which works for most use cases
• releasing it now will get more reach for testing so more bugs can be found

Any comments @angeldeejay @khassel @sdetweil @MichMich ?

@rejas feel free to merge ...

[rejas]

Merging this in the holiday spirit :-)

@angeldeejay would be nice if you could add some documentation to the doc repo for this provider (https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror-Documentation) and in the new year see if you can fix the remaining bugs. Happy holidays everyone!

I'll be adding more explained docs about this feature. Thanks for your effort

hi @angeldeejay I wanted to check in if you are still interested in updating the documentation or if you need support for that?

Off course!, I had some personal issues the last month, but I'll be updating documentation for this provider. Sorry
