    Had to rebuild my mirror from scratch after my SSD croaked five months after purchase and my backup USB was corrupted, argh. Most everything works now except for my Weather modules, which are using OpenWeatherMap with API 3.0.

    When current weather loads, I see "Invalid Date where the time should be above the temperature. To add insult to injury, the temp displays as “NaN”. What the heck? Here’s my config:

    {
    			module: 'weather',
    			position: 'top_center',
    			header: 'Current Weather - Canton',
    			config: {
    				weatherProvider: 'openweathermap',
    				appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
    				type: 'current',
    				weatherEndpoint: '/onecall',
    				lat: '34.17188',
    				lon: '-84.57056',
    				apiVersion: '3.0',
    				apiKey: "XXXX"
    			}
    		},
    		{
    			module: 'weather',
    			position: 'top_center',
    			header: 'Forecast - Canton',
    			config: {
    				weatherProvider: 'openweathermap',
    				appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
    				type: 'forecast',
    				weatherEndpoint: '/onecall',
    				lat: '34.17188',
    				lon: '-84.57056',
    				apiVersion: '3.0',
    				apiKey: "XXXX"
    			}
    		},
    

    Units are set to imperial in the config.js file and my Raspberry PI time seems correct.

    Thoughts?

      > I have tried adding the apiVersion: '2.5'
      > weatherEndpoint: "/weather"
      

      each of those lines had trailing commas, right?

      Not that line but that wasn’t the problem :-)

      Thanks for the link showing how to subscribe to OpenWeathermap which solved the problem.

        @reilley I copied your config and used my apikey
        no other changes (well I wrapped your config in code block to keep the quotes correct for copy/paste)

          @reilley this was with the config.js.sample copied as another

          units to imperial
          copy/paste your config over the two weather module entries
          add my apikey

          then

          # use env var to point to other config file
          export MMM_CONFIG_FILE=config/name_of_file.js
          npm start

            @reilley technically you don’t need apiVersion or weatherEndpoint, as those are the defaults.

                So my code worked for you and the only change was the API key? This key worked two days ago, so not sure what’s happening here.

                    correct

                    That’s nuts. Why would an API key work two days ago and not today? Seems like maybe there’s a configuration problem elsewhere but I not sure where it would be since I made no changes to weather.js or other .js files associated with the Weather module.

                      @reilley I don’t know… try my approach
                      do

                      cd ~/MagicMirror/config
                      cp config.js.sample  testcfg.js
                      cd ..
                      

                      then edit the testcfg.js and paste your weather info from config.js here
                      then change the units to imperial
                      save
                      then on the terminal window

                      export MM_CONFIG_FILE=config/testcfg.js
                      npm start
