    Can somebody help this noob?
    I use the default weather module with Open weather provider.
    Somewhere on this forum I read that Api 2.5 will end in June, so I subscribed to Api 3.0.
    Is this free?
    They asked for creditcard numbers, I still hope this is free.
    And can somebody help me with my config; Api 3.0, lat, long , no idea how to put it in my config.
    An example of a working config with Api 3.0 would help me a lot.
    Greetings,
    Peter

      @Peter the same config.js has entries for weather (Openweather is the default provider)

      just add the property
      apiVersion: ‘3.0’,

      and replace the other property values with yours

      the doc for weather is here
      https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html

      you do not need to specify anything that is the same as the doc indicates (like provider)

      as the design is your config.js overrides the defaults for a module.

      read the two links in my signature below. I didn’t write them, they are very helpful

          @sdetweil after adding the version to my config, the weather module does not start.

          {
          module: “weather”,
          position: “top_right”,
          config: {
          weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
          apiVersion: ‘3.0’,
          type: “current”,
          location: “Apeldoorn”,
          locationID: “2759705”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
          apiKey: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxkey removed”
          }
          },
          It works fine with Api 2.5, but do I need lat, lon instead of Location and Locatio ID?
          It is confusing.

            @sdetweil what does this limited number mean?
            If I use the default settings do I stay under the limit?

              @Peter there are multiple providers under weather, some need locationId, some need location name, some need lat/lon

              the top section of the doc applies to all providers, and further down is specifics for each provider

              if it works, then it works.

              limited calls per day 1000 I think., so their doc says

              divide seconds per day by 1000

              stay under that rate.

              we will next release fixes July 1, every 90 days

                @sdetweil thanks for your help but I cannot get it working.
                Maybe somebody else has an idea how to get it working?

                  @Peter I took the sample
                  and added my 3.0 api key… no other changes, I commented out provider as openweather is the default
                  my 2.5 key did not work

                            {
                        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: "mykey"
                        }
                      },
                        {
                          module: "weather",
                          position: "top_right",
                          config: {  // type:"current is default"
                            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: "mykey", 
                          }
                        },
                  

                  sorry, had some funky icons in test…
                  also had three instances, picked wrong 2… forecast first, current second

                    @sdetweil ok, I did the same, so I removed apiVersion:‘3.0’, now it works.
                    But how can I see if it works on version 2.5 or version 3.0?
                    And how do I recognise a version 3.0 Api key?
                    On the site of Openweather I have several Api keys, but how to recognise a version 3.0?

                      @Peter they don’t tell you. I have many as well.

                      they will tell you to try it… not much use

                      version 3 is only one endpoint, onecall
                      I don’t know how to force the module like that, it changes the endpoint based on the type (current, forecast…)
