    MM V2.24.0, Pi Zero2W, Raspbian 10 (Buster)

    I haven’t made any changes to my magic mirror since the beginning of February. I’m using the default Weather module and haven’t changed any related settings for that in over a year. The location is showing the correct city. The forecast for the next few days seems correct. The current temperature and today’s high and low are incorrect by about 20F degrees. I’ve tried rebooting and complete shutdown/unplug. Any suggestions?

      @wyovino The current temperature displaying is now correct. I’m guessing this was an issue at the source.

          The MMM-Jast module doesn’t work properly on a Zero2W with more recent versions which is why I did a fallback to this version. Is this related to the Weather API change I saw in the pinned post? Here’s my config. The “current” doesn’t work properly but the “forecast” does.

          {
          module: “weather”,
          position: “top_right”,
          config: {
          weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
          type: “current”,
          location: “Rockville Centre”,
          locationID: “5134203”,
          apiKey: “{myAPIKey}”
          }
          },
          {
          module: “weather”,
          position: “top_right”,
          header: “Weather Forecast”,
          config: {
          weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
          type: “forecast”,
          location: “Rockville Centre”,
          locationID: “5134203”,
          apiKey: “{apikey}”,
          fade: false
          }
          },

              I appreciate your efforts. The reason I’m using a Zero2W is that my mirror is in a tiny bathroom and when I used a Pi4 I could hear the hum of the fan. The Zero2W worked well except for the stock ticker which became very jerky. For the weather module, maybe I need a new API key. I’ll give that a try.

                @wyovino and that age code you will need need to change code.

                the api requires v 3, and a different endpoint .

                i dont know if it will work

                  @sdetweil Do you know how frequently MM reaches out to pull down the weather data? I’d rather not exceed the daily free limit.

                      The default value is 10 minutes, so it should never go above the free limit.
