Module: MMM-WeatherDependentClothes

This MagicMirror Module displays Clothes depending on the weather forecast and your personal preferences. By default it will show recommondations for the next ~8 hours and additional recommondations (8+5) for the following ~5 hours (for when you are planning on a after work meeting).

The MMM-WeatherDependentClothes module is based on the default currentweathermodule of the MagicMirror.

Configuration options

The following properties can be configured:

Option Description

Leave blank if you want to use location.
Example: 1234567
Default value: false

Note: When the location and locationID are both not set, the location will be based on the information provided by the calendar module. The first upcoming event with location data will be used.
appid The OpenWeatherMap API key, which can be obtained by creating an OpenWeatherMap account.

This value is REQUIRED
