OpenWeather loaded but info is empty since update

[SdR]

@KristjanESPERANTO said:

@SdR, did apiVersion: "2.5" really still work before the MM update? That version was deprecated a long time ago (June 2024). See https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18662/modules-using-openweather-api-need-review.

Yes, with the settings I posted it still worked like a charm… until the MM recent update.

from the troubleshooting section

I checked this section, but couldn’t relate it to my situation. This basicly states to change to API 3.0 or change the provider.

I try to change the provider like advised by @kristjanesperanto but I really like the openweather, so I hope he is able to find and solve the issues based on the info I posted.

[SdR]

@kristjanesperanto I have changed it, as test, with the following copy/paste of a different topic, but got the exact same result… module is showing empty and not loading any weather info:

	{
		module: "weather",
		position: "top_right",
		config: {
			weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
			type: "current",
			lat: 40.776676,
			lon: -73.971321
		}
	},
	{
		module: "weather",
		position: "top_right",
		header: "Weather Forecast",
		config: {
			weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
			type: "forecast",
			lat: 40.776676,
			lon: -73.971321
		}

[KristjanESPERANTO]

@SdR I tested this config on my side and it works. I only had to add one missing closing bracket in your snippet.

Do you see any errors in the terminal?

Also, after pulling the new version, did you run: node --run install-mm?

If openmeteo is also empty, this looks like a general config/runtime issue, not only an OpenWeather API issue.

Please show us the systeminformation from the terminal. Looks like this:

@KristjanESPERANTO and a git status

[SdR]

@KristjanESPERANTO I have used the following command guide to update the MM :
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)” apply

So i’m not sure if node --run install-mm is still required then.

im not a expert so i did a little chatgpt search how to pull this info and this is what i got:

[sdetweil]

@SdR ok. The upgrade script is mine

We meant the system-info section of the MagicMirror startup messages.

Runstart.sh is mine for when electron is not found

Can you
git diff package.json

And
ls node_modules/electron

[SdR]

@sdetweil tnx for the commands, this helps :)

@SdR ok. Looks like something added electron/rebuild
And fonts

[SdR]

@sdetweil Ok, as mentioned I only did the update command as mentioned earlier.

Is there something I need to do now to make it work again?

[sdetweil]

@SdR can you show me the end, last 20 lines of the MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

[SdR]

@sdetweil appreciate the help!

@SdR >Sun Apr 5 10:08:29 CEST 2026

there was a bug in the upgrade I fixed at 21:00 US Central time

can you edit ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

and change the

npm start 

to

npm run start:x11

then you can
pm2 restart MagicMirror

[SdR]

@sdetweil

I have 2 in there after “DISPLAY”… do I need to change both?

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/simon/MagicMirror

if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 0 ]; then

if WAYLAND_DISPLAYis set, use it, else set to -0

export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-0}
npm run start:wayland
else
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
fi

#DISPLAY=:0 npm start

[sdetweil]

@SdR said:

DISPLAY=:0 npm start <----- change this one
fi

#DISPLAY=:0 npm start <— this one is commented out (#)

[SdR]

@sdetweil
made the change and restarted MM but same result, is there a log can can show you after the restart?

[sdetweil]

@SdR ok,

do this, stop of there is an error with one command

pm2 stop all
cd ~/MagicMirror
rm -rf node_modules
rm package-lock.json
npm run install-mm
npm run start:x11

[SdR]

@sdetweil ok, did all the commands, no error shown but with the same result again (not showing any weather and weather forecasting).

[sdetweil]

@SdR Ok, in 2.35 we rewrote the data collection portion of the weather module
it does NOT support the old version 2.5 openweather api anymore.

so, to use the openweather provider, you must get a new 3.0 apikey from openweather which requires a credit card, and you get (today) 1000 free api calls. (so net free)

from a year ago, in the troubleshooting section

https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19323/version-2.30.0-weather-module-stuck-loading-worked-fine-before-upgrade?page=1

[SdR]

@sdetweil I can confirm that version 2.5 is now definitely not supported anymore.

I changed it to openmeteo after the changed you suggested and now it works.

Thank you… your’e a wizard :)
