Local weather on MagicMirror

TamP

Just got the MagicMirror running on my Pi3 B+
I am trying to get my local UK area weather to display, but the openweather api only seems to have a few UK areas listed in the city list, which are of no use to me.
Is it possible to get a local weather display.

@TamP Sorry, I don’t know. I figured out that this page give you de city id.
There are anothers modules that gives current weather and forecast using another apis and working with coordinates, for example, https://github.com/mykle1/MMM-BMW-DS
You can zoom the icons by css if they were to small.
Sorry, I don’t know another way to help you.

Did you try in https://openweathermap.org/find ?

@mohace Yes I see my location there, but how do I use that in MagicMirror?

Ahh thanks. :thumbsup:

The NOAA3 weather module also uses the darksky api so you will get the same results. It’s a different design look. Beautifully done. Don’t get me wrong. I am honored that you like BMW-DS. I just thought you might like to see some options.

@Mykle1 And I do, I am slowly getting the various bits in place ie Google photos, Weather Etc
Once I have it all, as I want it, I will look at all the options for the various api’s
