Hi,

Thanks for the help!

@carlderdritte said in Can"t get wind speed shown in KMPH why?:

Remove the quotes from true

 useKMPHWind: true,
 roundTemp: true,
 showRainAmount: true,
 degreeLabel: true

[carlderdritte]

@mykle1 no changes without the quotes :(

Sry, if this thread is too old to answer but I had the same question and had problems to find a solution for this. But it seems like I have one.

In my config I only set useKMPHwind to true and that didn’t work but after I also changed the useBeaufort from its default true value to false it seems to work.

At this moment openweathermap shows 1,5m/s and magicmirror shows 5 as windspeed. 1,5m/s are actually 5,4km/h so I think its an rounded value.

I’ll have to dig up this old thread again. I too do not get the wind speed displayed in km/h.

My config says:

	{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",	
			config: {
				location: "Berlin, DE",
				locationID: "2950159", //Location ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz
				appid: "***MYKEY***", //openweathermap.org API key.
				useBeaufort: false,
				useKMPHWind: true
			}
		},

Hi @MajorC,

without using this module, I saw you wrote

seBeaufort: false, instead of
useBeaufort: false,

May be that is the reason.

Thank you, this was just a copy & paste error. On the MM I have use with a u.

@carlderdritte or @thisistheplace have you guys found a solution?

Re: Can"t get wind speed shown in KMPH why?

Turns out the variable (useKMPHWind) in your “config.js” should be with a lowercase w for useKMPHwind.

		{
			module: "currentweather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				location: "Zaandam",
				locationID: "2744118", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
				appid: "12345678901234567890",
				roundTemp: true,
				useBeaufort: false,
				useKMPHwind: true,
			}
		},

[MajorC]

Thank you @MaXi-XCeL that was the problem. Case sensitive variables? Come on… :-(

And you need the useBeaufort: false to have it work.

useBeaufort: false,
useKMPHwind: true,

Thank you again, on step closer.
