I think the default locationID: "5128581", is for New York. You would have to change that to locationID: "5243553", in your config entry. The readMe file for weather tells you to get it at http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt. I looked it up for you, based on Adams, WI.

Otherwise, you could put Adams,WI in location (no space) and locationID: "5243553",

Oh my god thank you so much!

Whil i got you hear can you help me through getting magic mirror to boot up automatically. Ive tryed and made the shell script i can run all the commands to get it to run then i try pm2 save and the sudo reboot.

The mirror loading screen shows up then goes blank and boots back up to raspbian desktop… its driving me nuts

@danwitz65

Perhaps you’re not saving the PM2 state correctly. I would only tell you exactly what is written here.

Yeah idk i follow it step by step but when it loads up it just shows four raspberrys then magic mirror2 “booting up” then the raspbian home highway picture desktop… idk what im doing wrong

@danwitz65

Are you waiting when that happens? There is a delay between the time you see the desktop and when PM2 launches the mirror. How long are you waiting?

danwitz65

Idk it never has launched after a reboot ive had to do it manually in terminal everything’s me so far

Also when you type

chmod +x mm.sh

From that guide is terminal supposed to do something?

It will make the shell script is executable. I don’t recall if there is any output to confirm. It may simply go back to your directory
