Mmmm…
I might be stating the obvious here, but by experimentation we proved (to ourselves, at least) that this js script (farmOS/farmOS.map.behaviors.mapbox.js) is not being executed by the page at run time.
Calling an additional addMapboxLayer did not add an extra layer.
Even changing the Title text, was not reflected on the page, either.

The logic must be more complex because somewhere there is logic that determines whether to present the satellite map, etc. based on whether there is a Mapbox key stored. But not in this script.
If we could find that script, we could then write a module to override/extend whatever methods are used. And then provide proper Mapbox overlays using a style URL.

Any ideas ?
(sorry couldn’t get up at 5am for the dev call )

I had a go at adapting the Mapbox module to add additional layers (OpenWeatherMap Layers)
May be useful for you to have another example.

OpenWeatherMap Module

I was using the OpenWeatherMap API for an automation project and I seen they also provide weather map layers, so I adapted the Mapbox Module to add these as additional layers. The layers are not particularly interesting at farm zoom level, but perhaps could be useful with a map zoomed out to cover the greater region. Could probably make more sense eventually to create a weather page perhaps with forecast widget and the possibility to record weather data from the API and/or manual sources/senso…

The the root of the Mapbox module is here https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/tree/616261498d87103eba3651254ac25f9f4cfd0f36/modules/core/map/modules/mapbox . The logic to present the satellite image based on whether or not the the API key is set is at the bottom of this file. https://github.com/farmOS/farmOS/blob/616261498d87103eba3651254ac25f9f4cfd0f36/modules/core/map/modules/mapbox/src/EventSubscriber/MapRenderEventSubscriber.php ,
I just copied the entire module and replaced mapbox with openwethermap in every file with no other changes except for the JS which needed a little more.

The new module was then just placed in the normal modules folder and installed like any other module.
