MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

@chris1971 you can also use Winscp or bitvise ssh clients

these give you an ssh terminal AND a file browser over the PI files…just click and double click,

I use notepad++ on my windows system to edit the config and css files.
and the ssh terminal to install mm and modules (where to run commands)
and start/restart via pm2 or npm start

@sdetweil Thanks for this outstanding support!!!
I learned o lot - I have installed the MM some years ago and was a little bit concerned if I can do this again…

Now the best: The MM is running with Openweather and Goggle Maps - I tried several times install/ deinstall and found your modified script for Maps - maybe this was a solution at the end. I still see some errors in the strting script - but MM is running now with the weather module after shutdown the Darksky service - this was the only reason for me to change the system again…

Thanks again!!!

Hello there!
Unfortunatly It’s arrived the moment: “… on March 31st, 2023 the Dark Sky API will no longer be available.”, as recalled by the Dark Sky Team in this post: Infos from the Dark Sky Team

In fact today morning MMM-DarkSkyForecast stopped working!

I tried to install its replacement MMM-OpenWeatherForecast, but it didn’t work!
On terminal i hve this error:

[MMM-OpenWeatherForecast] 2-Apr-23 17:23 ** ERROR ** Error: Request failed with status code 401

I have already try to regen the API key on OpenWeatherMap site but the problem persist.

I’m using MagicMirror: v2.22.0

For now i’m using the simple configuration:

{
    module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
    position: "top_left",
    header: "Forecast",
    config: {
      apikey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", //only string here
      latitude: 45.072870,            //number works here
      longitude: 7.558791          //so does a string
    }
  },

Has anyone had this problem before?
Can you help me?

Thanks.

Hi @sdetweil thanks for answering me!
I had read this post but I didn’t understand what I have to do.
I have to update the node_helper.js version 2.5 to 3.0?

Can you help me?

Thanks.

sdetweil

@Egnos yes,

just edit the file and change 2.5 to 3.0

edit the file an

In the file “node_helper.js” I have modify:
this https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?
with this https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?

but I have the same error:

[02.04.2023 17:58.05.910] [LOG]   [MMM-OpenWeatherForecast] 2-Apr-23 17:58 ** ERROR ** Error: Request failed with status code 401

Where am I doing wrong?

sdetweil

@Egnos i’ve seen a number of these…

something to do with registering correctly with version 3 onecall

someone else said

I used the API keys from the website as the one sent in my email did not work.

@sdetweil I’ve already gone to the OpenWeatherMap site, I’ve regenerated a new API key but still the error…
