MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

[Ray]

So I went ahead and applied for the app 3.0
and gave them my credit card
and it was extremely easy to do
I did not have to create a new app key I was able to use my original ones

I also change the number of calls from 10 minutes to 15 minutes
and I added “https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?”
In the node_helper.js

thanks to everyone here I was successful
my two systems are back online showing the current temperature

if you change to the latest version/fork of the module you do not need to do that

[Ray]

@sdetweil
I was under the impression that I had to do that in order for it to work
so I don’t understand what you mean what other way is there

[sdetweil]

@Ray which repo are you using

do

git remote -v

in the module folder

[Ray]

@sdetweil
okay I got this
origin https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git (fetch)
origin https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror.git (push)
is that what you’re looking for

I also got this

[sdetweil]

@Ray no… in the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast module folder

[Ray]

@sdetweil the last one there I posted was done in that folder

but I can’t say I have the older version that is been working good for years

@Ray i know, that is old, time to migrate to a newer version

Hi guys, so do we have a definitive fix? I tried new api key, old api key, base url, no base url, still not working.

[sdetweil]

@megagprime

[megagprime]

@sdetweil yes thank you i have done all that, still doesn’t work. Do i need to update the module?

[sdetweil]

@megagprime id let the module set the urlbase

[sdetweil]

@megagprime also note the config parms it uses

[megagprime]

@sdetweil i did, i commented out the urlbase. All the other config settings are the same that have been working for years.

@megagprime You will need to update to the new fork of the module.
It does not matter if the old settings worked for years as the provider shut down the old api and you need to use the new api if you want some information to be displayed again.
The original module did not provide a way to change the url the information is fetched of. Even if you add the apiBaseUrl to the settings the old module will ignore it.
I released a new version IN MY FORK yesterday which uses the new URL in default. So no need to set the base URL in the settings anymore. The version in my fork before yesterday needed the parameter in the config to work with the new api.

So either change to my fork and update with:

cd ~/MagicMirror/modules/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/Tom-Hirschberger/MMM-OpenWeatherForecast.git

git pull

rm -rf node_modules package-lock.json

npm install

Or remove the old module folder and reinstall from this Url:

My Fork
