Problem displaying new modules on overlay

[Kilis71]

I installed the external modules but when I activate for example the weather forecast module, I don't see it in the overlay, what should I do?

Have you looked over the documentation on howto add variables?

Most of the modules provide variables that you can use in the overlay editor

[Kilis71]

Of course, it's in the overlay editor that I don't see them, in the all modules section

[Kilis71]

I have installed additional modules, the temperature, humidity work and I display them, while the rain sensor does not work, the module practically does not create the .json file in the extra folder and does not create the variables to put on top, same thing for open weather map

[Kilis71]

Could the malfunction of the rain detector be the fault of the GPIO which seems to be managed differently in the Raspberry 5 than in the Raspberry 4? I'm using an RPi5

In the main allsky settings set the debug level to 4 and have a look in the following files and see if any errors are being generated

/var/log/allsky.log /var/log/allskyperiodic.log

Cheers

in this log (/var/log/allskyperiodic.log) it gives me an error. while openweathermap downloads the data but does not create the variables to insert

Fixed the weather issue, it was an error in the API key. the problem of the rain sensor remains

[Kilis71]

I fixed the rain sensor issue on the GPIO ports. on raspberry 5 the GPIO ports are managed differently, you need to uninstall python3-rpi.gpio and install python3-rpi-lgpio, it works now. the commands are as follows: sudo apt remove python3-rpi.gpio sudo apt install python3-rpi-lgpio

[Alex-developer]

Is this a recent install of Allsky? The current release should install those libraries for you. I am curious as to why they were not there

Cheers

Yes, Installing with latest OS version on RPi5 and latest version of allskycam. 🤷

That is indeed odd. I'll run some tests as I need to rebuild one of my dev cameras
