# Added Yr.no as a weather provider Yr.no is a free Norwegian weather service. The configuration is quite simple: ```js { weatherProvider: "yr", lat: 59.9171, lon: 10.7276, altitude: 30 } ``` The latitude and longitude cannot have more than 4 decimals, but that should be plenty. To quote yr: "There is no need to ask for weather forecasts with nanometer precision!". The altitude should be meters above sea level and defaults to 0. If `type` is set to `current` the symbol can display the next 1, 6 or 12 hours by setting `currentForecastHours` (default is 1). It states in [Getting started-guide](https://developer.yr.no/doc/GettingStarted/) that users of the API should cache the results and use the `Expires`-header to know when to ask for new data. By using the `If-Modified-Since`-header we can avoid downloading the same data over and over again. I chose not to override the `User-Agent`-header set in [`server.js`](https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/blob/a328ce5/js/server.js#L97) even though it does not comply with [the terms of service](https://developer.yr.no/doc/TermsOfService/). It currently works with the default header, and by searching the web for MagicMirror the GitHub-repo should be easy to find without an explicit link. I also had to make some minor changes to `server.js` and `weatherprovider.js` to be able to send and return HTTP headers. To handle the HTTP 304 response without body I chose to return `undefined` so we easily can use the response as a condition: `if (response) ...`. The documentation for the API is available here: - [API Reference overview](https://api.met.no/weatherapi/) - [Locationforecast](https://api.met.no/weatherapi/locationforecast/2.0/) - Used to get the weather forecast - [Sunrise](https://api.met.no/weatherapi/sunrise/2.0/documentation) - used to find sunrise and sunset times Co-authored-by: Veeck <github@veeck.de>
