New Weather Module - Migration

@Canguingo you are just changing the label of the apikey value in config.js

@sdetweil

this is how my config.js looks like

{
module: “weather”,
disabled: false, //false, true
position: “top_right”,
header: “Weervoorspelling”,
config: {
type: “forecast”,
location: “Amsterdam”, // my own location
locationID: “454545”, //id my location
apiKey: “abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab” //this is the old appi that i had
}
}

so i need a new apiKey or with the old one is ok?

[sdetweil]

@Canguingo well, there are more new parms…

provider
and type (as they collapsed current and forecast into the same module now)

see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html#configuration-options

[sdetweil]

my question is: Do I need a new apiKey or with the value of the old appi is enough?

if you don’t know the answer or don’t know how to explain it, I thank you a lot, but please leave space for someone who actually can help.

thank in advance.

@Canguingo
I’dint use a new key. The old one was working fine.
After I update the Mirror to 2.19 and change the config.

Is that really your actual key, or did you just put that as a redaction of your actual key?

Just to ask a basic question, as that doesn’t look like a valid key to me.

As the others have noted, all you should need to do is change the module name and swap the key label from appid: to apiKey: , The key value itself is valid for both.

For reference, this is one of the entries in my config.js (I use the module twice, once for now and once for forecast):

        {
            module: "weather",
            position: "top_left",
            config: {
                type: "current",
                location: "Manchester",
                locationID: "", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
                apiKey: "#####f59935f34cea0bf3c1aa82#####",
                units: "metric",
                degreeLabel: true,
                showHumidity: true,
                tableClass: "medium"
                }
        },

Where the #'s in the apiKey are actually other letters and numbers (full key redacted).

Many thanks Darren,

That’s a dummy key not the real one. I managed to get it running.

The issue was (for the record):
Mistaken “apiKey” for “appi”
Missing ‘currentweather’ part which has also been replaced by the new module. So the code was wrong and missing a calling a module that does not exist anymore.

Again many thanks!!
