sdetweil

@D3dl3g send me your API key… config from config.js via email or direct message so I can debug

Just to update the forum, as to what happened behind closed doors

Sam kindly tested my code, and it worked for him.

I am recieving browser errors (previously requested but i wasnt looking in the right bit of the browser window)… he is not

Issues Tab

Console Tab

the last 5 entries here will reoccur, im guessing at every “retry” for weather info

attempted to use useCorsProxy: true to no avail

Sam kindly posted into git hub issues.

tested ukmetofficehub and it works out of the box (without setting the useCorsProxy flag).

Looking into the provided config

  weatherProvider: 'ukmetofficedatahub',
  lat: "52.###############",
  long: "-1.###############",

which is messed up. It has to be:

  weatherProvider: 'ukmetofficedatahub',
  lat: 52.###############,
  lon: -1.###############,

@karsten13 I tested w those in quotes, and it worked ok

@karsten13 I just copy pasted and it worked.

@karsten13

i too am getting this… showing me some 80+miles SEE of my actual location

@karsten13
also… replace the hash symbols with various numbers… im not posting my exact Lat/Long for obvious reasons…

make sure ur doing

lat:

and

lon:

i had it set to lat & lon(G) which is incorrect. hence why it was 80+miles, way tf over there!

quote marks or none surronding the numbers doesnt appear to matter, for me at least

This “issue” is fixed.

Advised by Sam, I ran these 2 commands to find modified files that differ from a “clean install/default” of MM.

git status
git diff

Any that varied… I ran:

git checkout <dir-tree>/file.extension

Rebuilt my config.js and found that apiBase HAS to be commented out.

On reflection DO NOT CHANGE ANY FILE aside from “config.js”
I had 3 causes for this issue.

(edit) i had longitude set in config.js to “long:”… it should be “lon:” and the lat/lon do not have to be surrounded by any quote marks.
I’d modified other *.js files, that didn’t need to be modified.
the “apiBase” argument listed in (MagicMirror Documentation > Modules > Weather Module > Configuration Options) was, in my case, not “REQUIRED”.

@sdetweil … Sam, publically, I cant thank you enough for your help with this. Sorry for being a n00b, your insight and help was invaluable, and you taught me some stuff, which is great!!
