      The data is read from https://home.openweathermap.org and displayed on the MM, right?
      Since these often do not match for my area, I want to know whether it is possible to store another provider? For example

        correct. the module takes info from the openweathermap api (and the data appears valid from the api and web page)

        but the MMM-OpenWeatherMap module only works with OpenWeather as far as I know.

        I am not aware of the quality of other modules

          I’m having some problems and do not know exactly what is wrong, got this error:

          [29.08.2022 09:51.32.701] [LOG] [MMM-OpenWeatherForecast] 29-Aug-22 09:51 ** ERROR ** Error: Request failed with status code 401

          I get this on my screen

          I did not do any configuration just using this as a Code:

          {
                                  module: "weather",

            that is configuration (editing config.js)

            I do not know… the error says the source returned a 401 error code
            not my module… open an issue on the module github page…

              @bassin12 also the code block start (the 3 backtics) must be on the start of the line

              I edited your post to fix that

                my config , both work (and the default weather module in both current and forecast mode)

                    yes, bug in his code…

                    use the code I posted on page one to extend the error reporting

                    but it returns 401 as well…

                      Is there a solution for this error? Is it something I’ve done or something in the module code?

                          I setup the default weather module with OpenWeather and it is working with the key I have. I obtained the key a few days ago. Is it the same key for MMM-OpenWeatherForecast?

                            @DDE12 no idea

                            the module says go here
                            https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up
                            the default weather openWeathermap provide says
                            https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_in

                            so it would seem the same key

                            the module uses this path

                            https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?"
                            

                            the default module uses this

                            		apiVersion: "2.5",
                            		apiBase: "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/"
                                                    +apiVersion+"onecall?"
                            

                            so, they appear the same

                              I put in a new key just to see but still have the same 401 error. When I installed the module I got

                              npm WARN old lockfile The package-lock.json file was created with an old version of npm,

                              I did not run audit fix. Is there something that I need to do with the install?

                                @DDE12 NEVER run audit fix…

                                i don’t know why the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast is failing ,
                                other than it says unauthorized. i would open an issue for the author.

                                  @DDE12 Could you share your config? Also be sure put your API key in quotes in the configuration. If you aren’t using quotes, this could be a reason why the module is giving you the 401 error

                                    I can, but I think I figured it out last night without changing anything in MM or the module. I initially signed up for the free account on OpenWeatherMap. Last night I signed up for the One Call by Call https://openweathermap.org/api and MMM-OpenWeatherForecast starting working. Before signing up, I tested my API in a browser at https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?lat=someLatitude&lon=someLongitude&appid=secretAPI
                                    and at https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat=someLatitude&lon=someLongitude&appid=secretAPI
                                    and both reported 401 error. After signing up, the module began working in MM. This does require a credit card and subscribers get 1000 free calls per day. Subscribers can set the maximum number of calls in their dashboard to prevent going over and getting charged. This doesn’t seem like it would be too much of a problem if users set the module’s config appropriately.

                                    I’m guessing that the module is trying to get data that is no longer free and some API’s are grandfathered ?? Or I misunderstood what type of account I needed from the start.

                                    Where is the API address in the module’s code?

                                    Let me know if I can provide further information.

                                        @DDE12 the API url is in the node_helper.js

                                        we recently add a Parm to enable picking v3 of the API vs 2.5 (old free).

                                        the add on modules need to do the same

                                          Fantastic work! I was using the previous DarkSkyForecast version - easy shift to this one.

                                          I’m trying to put the hourly data and daily data in the same “row” across using tiled view instead of 2 rows. I’m happy to edit the njk file (have tweaked a bit haven’t gotten it “just right” yet). Any ideas? I gather it’s something with the hourly and daily divs.

                                          Is data available to get mm of precipitation in the hourly and daily blocks? It shows % chance - keen to add precipitation instead.

                                          Thanks!!

                                            Replying to my own post incase someone else wants a single row for 3 hours and 3 days. You’ll need to comment out lines 191, 309, 315, 318 in the njk file. This results in a single row readable left to right hours then days. It’s a useful view if you’re using a full width view.
