So my code worked for you and the only change was the API key?

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

@sdetweil - nope, same result

sdetweil

@reilley ok, next thing

weather is done all in browser,
on the MagicMirror screen ctrl-shift-i to
open the developer window, select the console tab,
put wea in the filter field

look for any messages

@reilley - oh, I think I know what’s wrong now.

@sdetweil - you’re gonna laugh, but I found the issue. I was using an inactive API key. My backup was too old and was before the v2.29.0 API 3.0 requirement. Sorry to drag you through this!

sdetweil

@reilley glad you found it!

@reilley I just realized I experienced something similar, but I was preoccupied with other tasks and didn’t take the time to investigate.

Here’s a screenshot for reference:

Based on my screenshots (as mentioned, I was focused on tweaking the module and only noticed it afterward), it seems to be intermittent.

I’m using api-free providers, eg SMHI.

I have the same issue. These are my settings:

  module: "weather",
  position: "top_right",
  config: {
    lat: "52.262524",
    lon: "6.797571",        
    apiKey: "****",
    appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
    type: "current",
    degreeLabel: true,
    decimalSymbol: ",",
    showWindDirection: false,
    showFeelsLike: false
