Get MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast to show Fahrenheit instead of Celsius?

@Athlon module config option units?

Athlon

@sdetweil

imperial (units) worked, but you knew it would :)

Thank you!!

sdetweil

@Athlon you should use my MMM-Config module

it provides a form for filling in the config options for MagicMirror and all modules found in the modules folder

is also allows you to open the module readme to understand the options gor each module as you go along

also provides installation of modules from the 3rd
party list or others not yet listed

@sdetweil

I’ll definitely try that - Thanks again.

@sdetweil

I’ve installed it - works great!

The only thing I can’t figure out is how to access it from my desktop. I run MM on an RPi.

I’ve tried to change the address in the Basic section, but no joy.

sdetweil

@Athlon address:“0.0.0.0”,
ipWhitelist:[],

then you should be able to access MagicMirror from desktop
and then add then extra path, per the doc

/configure
or
/installer

I’ve tried to get it to work from my desktop, but no joy.

This is the code at the top of my config.js file:

/* Config Sample
 *
 * For more information on how you can configure this file
 * see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html
 * and https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/configuration.html
 *
 * You can use environment variables using a `config.js.template` file instead of `config.js`
 * which will be converted to `config.js` while starting. For more information
 * see https://docs.magicmirror.builders/configuration/introduction.html#enviromnent-variables

let config = {
	address: "localhost",	// Address to listen on, can be:
							// - "localhost", "127.0.0.1", "::1" to listen on loopback interface
							// - another specific IPv4/6 to listen on a specific interface
							// - "0.0.0.0", "::" to listen on any interface
							// Default, when address config is left out or empty, is "localhost"
	port: 8080,
	basePath: "/",	// The URL path where MagicMirrorÂ² is hosted. If you are using a Reverse proxy
									// you must set the sub path here. basePath must end with a /
	ipWhitelist: [],	// Set [] to allow all IP addresses
									// or add a specific IPv4 of 192.168.1.5 :
									// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.1.5"],
									// or IPv4 range of 192.168.3.0 --> 192.168.3.15 use CIDR format :
									// ["127.0.0.1", "::ffff:127.0.0.1", "::1", "::ffff:192.168.3.0/28"],

	useHttps: false,			// Support HTTPS or not, default "false" will use HTTP
	httpsPrivateKey: "",	// HTTPS private key path, only require when useHttps is true
	httpsCertificate: "",	// HTTPS Certificate path, only require when useHttps is true

	language: "en",
	locale: "en-US",   // this variable is provided as a consistent location
			   // it is currently only used by 3rd party modules. no MagicMirror code uses this value
			   // as we have no usage, we  have no constraints on what this field holds
			   // see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Locale_(computer_software) for the possibilities

	logLevel: ["INFO", "LOG", "WARN", "ERROR"], // Add "DEBUG" for even more logging
	timeFormat: 24,
	units: "metric",

This what I’ve tried entering in Firefox on my desktop:

http://192.168.50.177:8080/configure
http://192.168.50.177:9000/configure
0.0.0.0
0.0.0.0/configure

When using 0.0.0.0, I notice the address changes to “https://127.0.0.1/configure”.

In all cases, I get “Unable to Connect”.

Here’s the code for the MMM-Config in my config.js file:

{
		module:"MMM-Config",
		position:"top_right", 
			// the QR code (if requested) will appear here
		config:{
                      		}
	},

Thank you for hanging in there with me on this. It works fine when I plug a mouse and keyboard into the RPi, by the way.

@Athlon because you have

address: “localhost”

ONLY localhost can connect

http://localhost:8080/configure

you cannot use the IP address of this machine even when ON this machine…

IF you used
address:“0.0.0.0”
that means listen on ALL interfaces (localhost AND network adapter, without specifying a specific address)

then http://localhost:8080
AND
http://192.168.50.177:8080

would work… if you had wifi and ethernet
then localhost, wifi address AND ethernet address would be acceptable

because you didn’t specify showQR, it defaults to false,
and this would have displayed a message about having to use localhost ONLY

Athlon

@sdetweil

That did it - changed the address to 0.0.0.0 and used “http://192.168.50.177:8080/configure”.

Awesome!

Thank you!!

sdetweil

@Athlon awesome. i should have added to the above, that localhost ALWAYS means THIS machine, no matter WHERE ITS USED. phone. laptop, desktop , server, nas, pi
