Struggling with Weather... module

[sdetweil]

@D3dl3g cool… can u show the messages at runtime

where you do npm start, or if using pm2, then the command

pm2 logs --lines=???

will show the output

??? is a number, default 15, but may need to be higher to see the output…

you can do pm2 flush to empty the log and then start again (pm2 restart all)

@D3dl3g as a first check, you can use my working config-entry and extend it one by one with your needs:

//#################################################################################
		{
			disabled: false,
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Wetter aktuell",
			config: {
				type: "current",
				location: "Bonn",
				locationID: "2946447",  
				apiKey: "myKey",
				showWindDirectionAsArrow: true,
				showHumidity: true,
				showFeelsLike: false
				}
		},
//#################################################################################

Just replace the apikey.

@thgmirror nice, but he is trying a different provider.

[thgmirror]

@sdetweil I know, but to have a first sense of achievement he will see something different than “LOADING”

[sdetweil]

@thgmirror yes, but his API key is to a different service…

@thgmirror I’d gladly try, but I’d need an API key, my friend.
without an API for that particular weather service, it will just come up with “loading” as the server will not give the info to you.

i saw the post of yours earlier, but as it didnt match my issue with UK Met Office weather service.

@D3dl3g if you get a free api key from openweathermap and then you can test with a known weather api that we all know works. (openweathermap works for me ). then you’ll narrow down the possibilities of why your particular setup isn’t working. 1) if it is the way you have installed the module, or 2) if the problem is with the weather endpoint you are trying to use. 3) maybe the uk weather api isn’t availble to you if you aren’t physically in the uk, 4) something else…

but getting the module working first in a known working configuration… will narrow down a lot of possibilities. it doesn’t mean that you can’t use the api you want later (unless that’s the issue).
