[barnwern]

Has this been resolved - cannot install the Weather plus plugin in HOOBS?

[Jaco-VanderMerwe]

Same issue, and I'm not using HOOBS. Using the homebridge-config-ui-x. But I get the same error if I do it directly via SSH as per the installation instructions.

pi@RaspberryPi:~/homebridge $ npm install -g homebridge-weather-plus

Had the same issue when installing via the ui. I fixed it by installing via command line (docker exec ...) and then it showed my the real error message. After running: "npm install --save --force homebridge-weather-plus@latest" it works for me

I have looked into this. The geo-tz module is very large and takes a long time to download especially on slower connections.

If you modify these files; apis/openweathermap.js apis/yahoo.js

And use the moment-timezone module that's already included in this project. This would allow you to remove the geo-tz dependency and make this a much smaller plugin.

The only downside of this would be you can only get the time zone of the local device. Or you can add a time zone setting in the config to override.
