Weather Module showing wrong current temperature
-
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.

@wyovino 6 releases back, 18 months, who knows.
setup a new version and check it out
use my backup/restore to help move to new release
new nodejs doesnt run on buster

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
}
}, -
@wyovino i do not know. calendar is my thing

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.
-
@wyovino see that in the doc, updateInterval i think
https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html#general-options
-
The default value is 10 minutes, so it should never go above the free limit.
