Default Weather module not loading and no error showing.

[broberg]

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.

@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:

@yawns Finally found a way to get in the browser. I’m quite happy with the new weather module. So I stop this thread and mark it as solved in some kind of.
Thank you all for all efforts.
Now the search begins to have a good MP3/radio station player. I would like to build in some speakers I have in my garage and give them a new function in this project.

Hi,
I am having the same problem right now. I was previously using the default weather module and it was working perfectly fine. However, due to some reasons, I had to uninstall everything on my Pi and start working with a fresh install of OS to everything else.
I installed MM2 again, made necessary changes in config but somehow the weather module is not showing up.
I even tried looking at logs but there is no error there. Even in the browser console.
It would be really appreciated if someone could help me with this.

Your default weather is not working? Post your config entry for weather here using this guide. We’ll try to get you sorted.

My config for weatherforecast is not working. The odd thing is that current weather is. I can not see the console with F12. I thought this was a keyboard config issue but I have tried several settings and F12 is not bringing up the console.

My config for weatherforecast is

It’s not your config that is the problem.

Here is a quote from MichMich just this morning from a similar topic.

“It seems new API keys from open weather no longer are allowed to request the forecast. We are looking into a solution.”

So, for now, you can disable the forecast module. Also, you could try another weather module that IS working. There are quite a few under the Weather heading here.

Thank You for your quick response. This was really bugging me that one worked but not the other.

I know this is old but…my weather wasnt loading. I was trying to use the “forecast” option. Figured out (despite what @Mykle1 said above) that it does work with API keys but I needed to changed weatherEndpoint: in the weather.js file

                apiKey: "YOUR-API-KEY",
                apiSecret: "",
                apiVersion: "2.5",
                apiBase: "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/", // TODO: this should not be part of the weather.js $
                weatherEndpoint: "/forecast",

I had it set to forecast in the config/config.js (below) but that wasnt enough. After I changed the weatherEndpoint, it worked. The

                {
                        module: "weather",
                        position: "bottom_right",
                        config: {
                                type: "forecast"
                        }
                },

Hope this helps someone.
