Modules fetching online/network info fail to refresh

RonR

@TAGinside Using MMM-Config, many thanks to sdetweil/MMM-Config, I now have a new config.js that offers many more options for the default Weather modules. I wondered if mine was updating regularly so In kept notes of the temp and time I checked and things were working properly. Below is the contents of the default weather module config. Note they have an “updateInterval: 600000” in the second instance which should be about 10 minutes.

Hope this helps,

@TAGinside I used the OneCallWeather module. Again, I’m unsure if it is wifi as the camera seemed to be stuck too until I rebooted the whole pi. Now the camera comes up, but the weather module still hasn’t re-loaded.
I’m unsure of how to start troubleshooting it to determine what the issue truly is. I will see if the camera has continued to work live and then post back.

camera was frozen up again. Rebooted the pi. I also can’t connect to the pi remote and see the mirror using IP:8080. Running iwconfig i see the link quality as 51/70. I do see power management is on for the wifi, and I read a report that this can be problematic. any other thoughts?

@alex2 just for test, if you disable the camera module does this still happen?

I just debugged a weird hardware problem that turned out to be a power problem.
