v2.29.0 weather module issue

sdetweil

@Andreas1956 tgat means you gave the old apikey, which will fail ‘soon’

@sdetweil Sam, do you know how many calls the default weather module makes per day?
Am I right: default is every 10 minutes, so 24x6 per day?
I have two Magic mirrors (1 for me and 1 for my daughter) using the same API.
I would like to use the API (3.0) for free, so use not more than 1000 calls per day.
Thanks for your answer in advance.
Peter

@dawookie1979 - just add it somewhere in the config for your weather module. I added "apiVersion: “3.0"” just above the apiKey.

I’d help you write yours, but I’m struggling with mine as well so you might get better assistance from the gurus here!

@kent79 @dawookie1979
it’s all in the docs - but you need to read it carefully.

in short: forecast needs

lat/lon , locationID isn’t working for forecast
weatherEndpoint: ‘/onecall’, must be set

This works for me;

        {
            disabled: false,
            module: "weather",
            position: "top_right",
            config:
            {
                // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
                weatherProvider: 'openweathermap',
                weatherEndpoint: '/onecall',
                apiKey: 'xxx',
                apiVersion: '3.0',
                lat: '49.8',
                lon: '8.49',
                type: 'forecast',
                colored: true,
                fade: false,
                maxNumberOfDays: 3,
                degreeLabel: 'true',
                showWindDirectionAsArrow: 'true',
                decimalSymbol: ','
            }
        },

@HeikoGr - What are you seeing for the header? Does it say [country]/[city] and if so, is it correct? Mine is saying “America/New York”, when I’m in Canton, Georgia.

sdetweil

@Peter yes, every 10 minutes, 6 times per hour

sdetweil

@HeikoGr is that gepos right?

i am in texas and my lat is 30

HeikoGr

@sdetweil yes, lat/lon is correct as I am in Germany :-D

@reilley unfortunately openweather doesnt respond with geoname but with timeszone… so it’s euroe/berlin in my case.
