Updated MM and OpenWeather doesn't work now.

[RF]

Could someone help me figure out why the OpenWeather won’t work after doing a MM update.

        When I log into the MM all I get is the words "Loading image" where my current weather and forecast should be. I have tried reentering my Location, Location ID and apiKey, and that didn't fix it.

I don’t know what else to try . Any help would be appreciated.
Below is a copy of my config.js

},
{
module: “weather”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
type: “current”,
location: “XXXXX”,
locationID: “XXXXXXX”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: “XXXXXXXX”
}
},
{
module: “weather”,
position: “top_right”,
header: “Weather Forecast”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
type: “forecast”,
location: “XXXX”,
locationID: “XXXXXX”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: “XXXXXXXX”
}
},

@RF open weather changed their business model. The old free API is no more, replaced by the 3.0 API which requires a credit card, altho today they give you 1000 free API requests.

Also, the location/locationID are no longer used, only the lat/lon (which requires you to add a module header and turn off appendLocationToHeader)

The pirateWeather provider is still free and mirrors the older darksky service, and requires an apikey

Sam, thank you so much for your help.

I will install the pirateWeather in the coming days.

@RF you just have to change the config for weather

No code to install

@vietscong the documentation lists the providers we provide support for

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html#configuration-options
the weather module documentation is split into a few sections

what applies to all providers, formatting, type. etc

remember that MM provides defaults for all options, so those that aren’t specified (on ANY module) will be set to the default provided by the module… so its important to note each option, even if you don’t see it listed in any config you are looking at.

options for current weather
options for weather forecast

then the detail for each provider

for Pirateweather

@vietscong @RF just a reminder to all

the doc is linked in the header above, so you don’t have to remember where to find it.
