@trader-dude Lets start with locationID: That is usually a 6 digit number obtained from openweathermap.org. e.g 512856. Make sure that is correct. Next, the appid: is just a long sequence of numbers and letters obtained from openweathermap.org. e.g 12345gu3454uddu4u5uu64u3. Make sure you enter this exactly as provided. Do not enter the entire url, just the number itself. You need to do that in both the currentweather and weatherforecast.

@trader-dude Are you using MagicMirror version 2.1 now?

trader dude

trader dude

Mykle1

@trader-dude There are some warnings that don’t affect the operation of the mirror. Errors are another story

trader dude

Try putting in a location, just to see, but that should not matter. Also, the readme file example of the config entry shows double quotes " instead of single quote '. You might want to try replacing those.

location: "Paris,France",
locationID: "1234567",
appid: "abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab"
