      I’ll give that a try.

      I’m not concerned with that specific module not working. 3rd Party Modules I’ve installed that do not utilize APIs work perfectly well and the default modules work perfectly well as well.

      It is a trend however, that of the six total 3rd Party Modules that I have tried and tested that do connect to APIs, none of them appear to be receiving data, which is why I am still slightly suspicious about something being wrong in the general Raspberry Pi configuration. But that wouldn’t explain why the default modules work perfectly well despite pulling from the openweathermap API.

        Then my suggestion should confirm or eliminate that suspicion. Good luck and report back here.

          Removing the modules file, starting from a fresh config.js, cloning back the modules file, and adding the MMM-Launch config didn’t yield any data after the last 5 minutes.

          I’m thinking I’ll just cut ties and start again from scratch with a fresh install of raspbian. Maybe that’ll reset anything that might have gone haywire in the setup.

            Unfortunately, a fresh raspbian image and MagicMirror install doesn’t appear to solve the problem.

            Still open to any/all suggestions.

            It’s been sitting on T - Minus 5 seconds for the last 10 minutes.

              Please start MM using npm start dev. You should see an error for MMM-Launch.

              Question: You are cloning the module into the MagicMirror/modules folder? Not into the default folder?

                The error, in the dev console on loading, should look like this

                Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined. As the api is slow to respond. Then, upon refresh, the module works normally, or should.

                  MMM-Launch is located at home/pi/MagicMirror/modules.

                  The only errors were for openweathermap, so I removed that from the config.

                  I’m only seeing some warnings, but no more errors.

                    I’ll include a screenshot here in a minute, but I’m noticing that “MMM-Launch received a module notification: CLOCK_SECOND from sender: clock” is being logged. Is that expected?

                    EDIT: Screenshot.

                      I believe that is just the clock module broadcasting a notification and should have no affect on MMM-Launch as MMM-Launch has no action to perform when receiving.

                        Can you open a browser and try this url?
