@史新瑞

Did you run /home/pi/Magicmirror/npm run check:config
to verify your config.js?

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil
Then it’s full screen darkness

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil Thank you. NPM can now be used to run and start, but the weather module cannot be displayed, as shown below

[史新瑞]

@史新瑞 This is the same config.js file under two different operating modes

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 show any messages

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil There is no error message

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 the messages where mm is started

npm start or
pm2 logs

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil What is described here is my latest problem. Sorry, I didn’t make it clear

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 is it current or forecast mode? which provider?

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 I just added my openweather api key to the starting config.js

		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "current",
				location: "New York",
				locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "a6bf9feaa86bc2677df1e5fsdasdasd46bd79d"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "forecast",
				location: "New York",
				locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				apiKey: "a6bf9feaa86bc2677df1e5f46bd79dsdasd"
			}
		},

and both worked (the apikeys are mangled here so won’t work anywhere else)

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil I don’t use the same API as you, and your last reply revealed your key which is not good

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 my key was mangled, so not useable… just wanted it to be clear for you…
default provider is openweather

I asked you what provider and type… (current or forecast)

I can get api keys to test too

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil If possible, I would like to try your API tomorrow, but this is only a test, and this is based on your consent. Generally, I will not use your API, I will continue to use my own API, I hope you can agree

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 I don’t understand ‘API’

API is the method of getting data… we don’t expose that outside the module.
of course u could change the code if u know javascript.

you could certainly use the openeweather source…

[史新瑞]

@sdetweil To tell the truth, I didn’t remember it. Please allow me to check it tomorrow morning and tell you

[sdetweil]

@史新瑞 ok… I am US central time… Sunday Aug 14, 11:30 am .
