"Invalid Date" appears in Weather module. MM v2.29.0

VinGroot

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

@VinGroot current release is 2.30 . still happening there ?

VinGroot

@sdetweil yes, still happening.
just noticed this second page, trouble shooting now. I get a 401 unauthorized error.

sdetweil

@VinGroot well 401 means apikey not right

VinGroot

I figured it out. I use the free plan, so I cannot use API version 3.0. I have to use API version 2.5. Furthermore I have to use the /weather endpoint.

I got it working again by adding these 2 settings:

apiVersion: '2.5'
weatherEndpoint: "/weather"

@VinGroot awesome

I have rebuilt my installation and used backup .js files.

Everything has worked apart from the weather module.

I am getting the ‘Invalid date’ message a temperature of NaN.

I have tried adding the apiVersion: ‘2.5’
weatherEndpoint: “/weather”

Lines into the config.js file but then MagicMirror doesn’t load.

the section of config.sys is:

{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "current",
				location: "Machat",
				locationID: "2983291", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city


				apiKey: "cxxxxxxxxxxxx57f81f9d82849a2fc21a"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "forecast",
				location: "Machat",
				locationID: "2983291", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city


				apiKey: "cxxxxxxx57f81f9d82849a2fc21a"
			}
		},

@lif are you on 2.29 or 2.30?

cd ~/MagicMirror
grep version package. json

see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19323/version-2-30-0-weather-module-stuck-loading-worked-fine-before-upgrade

@lif said in "Invalid Date" appears in Weather module. MM v2.29.0:

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.
