Default Weather module not loading and no error showing.

Preve

Hi all,

I’m new at this magic mirror thingie. Just installed it on a raspberry Pi 2 and got my screen. Everything loads well (Private calendar, Compliments and personalized new feed.) What doesn’t work is the Weather module. It’s not showing at all. So I don’t get any kind of error.
I’ve entered my API key and location found in the openweatherpmap website. But space where the module should be on my screen is empty. No error, not a word.
Anyone that can help me? Maybe I forgot to enable something?

Kind regards

yawns

Please post your config, but replace your personal keys/calendar links with XXX

That in fact looks perfectly fine. Did you try to reboot your pi to check if currentweather comes up?
Try to press F12 in the browser while MagicMirror is running and check the console for errors

Preve

Restarted MM a couple of times. I’ll reboot the PI and see what’s happening.

Preve

Nope, Rebooted the PI and still nothing.

yawns

And console of your browser does not show a single error?

Preve

How do I get there? Sorry for noobish question. It runs full screen.

yawns

If you press F12 in your browser you should see a development interface, one is called console and should show information, warnings and - maybe - errors

yawns

I just tried your currentweather settings with my appid and instantly see the current weather. Did you check your appid again?

Preve

Registerd to the site, asked an API and that API shows in “my api” folder on the website. Already removed it and re-entered it.

Preve

Isn’t there a log file I can check?

yawns

would you send me your api key by private message/chat?

Yes, there is.
If you are starting your magicmirror with pm2 you can run pm2 logs mm to check for errors. And you can check the browser console

The strange thing… I install another weather module MMM_Wunderground, get an API key and it works. Just copy pasted in the config.js and changed the API and pws. restarted MM and got directly what I needed. Strange. very strange.

I’ve had it malfunction a couple of time to, but it usually starts working again after a couple of hours/next day. Seems to me that i’s a connection issue since I don’t change anything for it to work again.

@Preve when I applied for the API Key it wasn’t working for a while as well. I had to wait until it was ready to use in their system.

Preve

@broberg But when the API-key is wrong or maybe too soon used, wouldn’t you get any kind of loading error? In my case there was nothing showing on my screen.

Yes, it does show this alert. As I said … Press F12, change to console and look for errors. I removed one character in my appid, and this is what happens:
