Modifying the Config File
-
Sam, success! I have d/l’d the SSH gui program and here is my config.js file. I have deleted my apiKey
modules: [ { module: "alert", }, { module: "updatenotification", position: "top_bar" }, { module: "clock", position: "top_left" }, { module: "calendar", header: "US Holidays", position: "top_left", config: { calendars: [ { fetchInterval: 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000, symbol: "calendar-check", url: "https://ics.calendarlabs.com/76/mm3137/US_Holidays.ics" } ] } }, { module: "compliments", position: "lower_third" }, { module: "weather", position: "top_right", config: { weatherProvider: "openweathermap", apiVersion: "3.0", lat: 33.50872, lon: -96.612213, weatherEndpoint: "/onecall", type: "current", location: "Houston", locationID: "4699066", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city apiKey: "8eca2aec" } }, { module: "weather", position: "top_right", header: "Weather Forecast", config: { weatherProvider: "openweathermap", apiVersion: "3.0", lat: 33.50872, lon: -96.612213, weatherEndpoint: "/onecall", type: "forecast", location: "Houston", locationID: "4699066", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city apiKey: "8 " } }, { module: "newsfeed", position: "bottom_bar", config: { feeds: [ { title: "New York Times", -
@jimb missing some at the bottom
I assume the apikey with a new line inside is a removal edit problem
always wrap config.js content in code block
paste into editor
blank line above and below

Sam, here is a copy of the config.js (with the apiKey deleted)
let config = { address: "localhost", // Address to listen on, can be: // - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface // - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface // - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface // Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost" port: 8080, basePath: "/", // The URL path where MagicMirror² is hosted.

Sam, I tried to do the Ctrl-Shift_i keypress in the browser, but nothing happened. Do I need to do this at a certain point in time or from a certain place. The reason is because I’m still getting the 401-unauthorized messages if I perform the npm start dev process during application start.

@jimb well, I used your exact weather config, and used my openweather api key , and it worked perfectly
-
@jimb and you’ve got some stuff out of position
this is the more correct layout
{ module: "weather", position: "top_right", config:{ units: "imperial", windUnits: "imperial", tempUnits: "imperial", showPeriodUpper: "true", appendLocationNameToHeader: "true", colored: "true", // position: "top_right", // config: { apiVersion:"3.0", weatherProvider: "openweathermap", weatherEndpoint:"/onecall", lat: "29.8155405", //"33.50872", lon: "-96.0607878", //"-96.61", type: "current", //location: "Houston", //locationID: "4699066", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and fi> apiKey:"" } }, GNU nano 6.2 config/config.js { module: "weather", position:"top_right", header: "Weather Forecast", config:{ units: "imperial", winUnits: "imperial", tempUnits: "imperial", showPeriodUpper: "true", appendLocationNaneToHeader: "true", colored: "true", //position: "top_right", //header: "Weather Forecast", //config: { apiVersion:"3.0", weatherProvider: "openweathermap", weatherEndpoint:"/onecall", lat: "33.50872", lon:"-96.612213", type: "forecast", //location: "Houston", //locationID: "4699066", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and fi> apiKey:"// " } }, -
Sam, that’s helpful, thanks! The items out of alignment happened when I deleted some of my apiKey. The original is perfectly straight. Since it worked with your Key, a couple of questions.
- Does your Key have 28 digits?
- Can you answer my question concerning the Ctrl-Shift-i keys to display the browser data. Can I stop the MM app and load the browser, or…

@jimb my apikey has 33 characters
it is the default key in openweather (I have multiple)
i just brought up MM, and used my chromebook to bring up the page… and then ctrl-shift-i (letter sounds like eye) all at once, opened the dev window
you can do those three keys on any webpage, its a toggle… on/off
using normal chrome, you can use the 3 dot menu to get there too

Sam, why is it always the simple things :-)
I found a simple link that allowed me to test the openweather api link:
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=524901&appid={API Key}
I saw the 2.5 and changed it to 3.0 and got a 401 error. I changed it back to 2.5 and it worked. I tried commenting out the 3.0 & /onecall items in config.js and got a “config.js not found” error when running MM. I had used (/*) in the leftmost column as a ‘ignore line’ comment. So, I deleted the 4 lines from config.js and it worked fine except for a teensy error “displaying Howe instead of Houston” in the display. I have no idea where that came from. I wonder why the fourth largest city in the US isn’t listed in the pull-down menu?
Now, I’m going to see if I can add additional modules.
Thanks for your very patient help!!
