New Weather App (good bye DarkSky) creates config error

Kastore

{
   		module: "weather",
   			position: "top_right",
   				config: {
   			type: "forecast",
   			units: "metric",
   			roundTemp: "true",
   			degreeLabel: "true",
   			showPrecipitationProbability: "true",
   			colored: "true",
   			apiVersion: "3.0",
   			lat: "123.123123",
   			lon: "321.321312",
   			apiKey: "abcdefg",
   					},
 },

That still results in no display of the weather module :/

@Kastore the thing to the right of the :

if true , false, or numbers should not be in quotes.

if it contains a letter or symbol, then it should be in quotes

Can you please write me the code? I am seriously going mental over “not having anything loading” to “no config file” to just partially loading things…

This is really frustrating when you got 0 clue about coding to not figure out where the heck the issue is… ._.

This code doesnt create a missing config file but doesnt load the module. If i just enter the weather module (without config) it loads but only shows the current weather, but i would like to get the forecast for my region with the current API Version which is apparently 3.0

{
   		module: "weather",
   			position: "top_right",
   				config: {
     // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
   			type: "forecast",
   			units: "metric",
   			roundTemp: true,
   			degreeLabel: true,
   			showPrecipitationProbability: true,
   			colored: true,
   			apiVersion: 3.0,
   			lat: 123123,
   			lon: 312321,
   			apiKey: "asdasdasd123123asedasd123",
   					},
 },

@Kastore I used your exact config except my api key(i tried multiple keys) and lat/lon
I commented out the apiVersion:3.0,
and it works as expected

Hey there,

so as of today the module is now working . I had to remove the API Version as you mentioned and that helped. However it took another day for the module to work… no clue why it didnt work right away (despite “reboot” and “pm2 restart”)…

I am currently now trying to figure out how to get one Module working as “current” or “day forecast” so i know what the day brings and another with the “forecast”.

I am assuming i need to do multiple modules to get that done?

yes, you just configure one instance as current and one as forecast

also, try this for the slow loading on the forecast instance
add

initialLoadDelay: 10,

to the config parms

probably cause you were over the limit on number of accesses, free plan is really restrictive

I tried this app and was quite satisfied
