Upcoming replacement version of the card (V3)

[Makin-Things]

The BoM recently totally changed the way they deliver radar information. While that renders the current version (V2) of the card almost obsolete it does provide a much better experience (less lag and more frequent updates).

It does mean that the card has to be totally rewritten. I am rather time poor at the moment, but work has commenced. There won't be any actual releases until it is working, but if you are a developer and would like to help, please get in touch. The pre-alpha (ie. it is just a proof of concept) is onn a branch called mapbox. At present I only have a single basemap working with a static timestamp to pull a single set of radar data.

I am going to close #29 and provide updates on this issue.

A teaser.

Thanks for the update. Love your card.

I have a working version for my app, but am experiencing an occasional issue. Happy to share anything I know, however I'm no expert and using a mapbox package for Dart/Flutter. Mapbox have plenty of javascript examples, so it's not too hard to get it going. I'd be interested to see if you have the same issue. Here is a video of my issue: https://youtube.com/shorts/1jT5OKuSISQ?feature=share

Just a message of support. This card was quite central to my dashboards and it was a real shame when it went blank. Hopefully you find enough time to get things working again. 👍

I have not removed it from mine from the dashboard yet in hope

Just change your Data Source toRainViewer-Original and you'll get the radar back until the BOM data is working again.

thanks. I will try that

Sorry to be a pain, but where can I do this?

TIA

Thank you very much, too easy.

[simonjowett]

This works for me too. However, being a very sunny day today there is not much to in my neck of the woods!

Awesome - thanking you.

Have to ask - @Line-Noise from ISCA?

[Makin-Things]

Sorry for the lack of updates, but work has been insanely busy. Yesterday was the first chance in a year for me to get some time to work on the new version. Some good progress has been made, but still a lot of little things to add before it will be ready for release.

[lionslair]

Just wanted to say thank you in advance

[Fraddles]

Just installed the new version as a beta from HACS... I know it is still a WIP, so did not think a bug report was needed, but some initial feedback;

• Zoom level is NOT optional... if you do not set a zoom level you get no map at all.
• The map does not scale to fit the window, on a 1080P screen the maps fills less than 1/4... from memory the old one did scale?
• Installing it introduced significant lag in the HA UI. Regularly (every 30 seconds or so maybe?) stalling completely for multiple seconds, even when on other tabs/views.

Also I see this in the HA logs. I note that one of my other extras (kiosk-mode) is listed in one of the errors... possible conflict?

Cheers.

[dw1562]

I'm really looking forward to the replacement. I made the data source change ages ago to get the radar to display again but I really dislike the shading it uses compared to how it displays if you go to the webpage. I'm hoping the new version will allow us to see it the old way again.

I want this

instead of this

As you can see, they are quite different with the first one being more accurate and a lot easier to decipher.

It's good to see you make productive use of your downtime/holidays :-) Thank you!!!

[Makin-Things]

@Fraddles thanks for the feedback. Yes, too early to bother with creating issues. Lots of stuff will be changing pretty quickly I hope. I haven't witnessed any stalling issues on either my dev vm or my real ha instance, so not sure what is going on there. I can confirm I get the errors in my logs, but on on my real ha, nothing in the dev vm as yet. So will need to try and figure that one out at some point.

[Fraddles]

Happy to help debug... this card has an extremely high WAF... 🤣

[Makin-Things]

@Fraddles thanks. I am no longer seeing it on my production HA either. Possibly something weird left behind after the upgrade (noting that while it was an upgrade EVERYTHING was replaced). Are you still seeing the errors? Note that I have also upgraded to 2024.1

[Fraddles]

@Makin-Things, I have now;

• Removed the old card (reinstalled after testing the beta the other day)
• Manually checked that all files have been removed...
• Updated HA (was on 2023.12.3)
• Reinstalled the beta from HACS

The card works... though there is no rain around here to be seen at the moment. Home marker, recenter button, etc do not display, map does not scale. No more lag in the HA UI, don't know what that was about, but it stopped as soon as I removed the beta previously... Still getting logs spammed with errors... after initial install and adding the card I had the following in the logs;

This is 'sidebar' view... the old card completely fills the left side box.
