      @anubis273 This module works on 2.14 – tested that specifically myself. MagicMirror’s version numbering can get a bit confusing… 2.14 is MUCH newer than 2.2. Versioning goes 2.2, 2.3, … 2.9, 2.10, 2.11, etc.

      Double check your config settings. Maybe try with just the minimal config required for MMM-OpenWeatherForecast – apikey, latitude, and longitude – and see if the module works with just those. Also make sure you’ve run npm install in the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast directory.

      If the module runs with just the above, then start adding your additional configuration options one at a time to see which one caused it to fail. Let me know and we can take it from there.

        Hey j-e-f-f,

        thanks for clearing up my confusion about MagicMirror versions ;-) And thanks also for the quick feedback!

        So, I double checked the configuration and it doesn’t seem to have any syntax errors:

         {
                module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
                position: "top_right",
                header: "Forecast",
                    config: {
                    apikey: "myAPIKey",                                                                                            //only string here
                    latitude: 50.748780,                                                                                           //number works here
                    longitude: 7.137300                                                                                            //so does a string
                                }
          },
        
        

        I tried the minimal configuration as you suggested, unfortunately without success. I also checked the Api Key of OpenWeatherMap, this is also correct. The module also seems to work. The problem is that it just doesn’t load any weather data and I don’t understand why.

        If I find a solution to this, I will of course get back to you.

        Nubi

          @anubis273 I just tried the default config with your long/lat settings and the module worked for me. So let’s try digging a little more. Are you seeing any errors in the logs? There are a bunch of places to look:

          If you are running MagicMirror using PM2, run pm2 restart mm && pm2 logs mm. Look for any output prefixed with [MMM-OpenWeatherForecast]. If you are instead running MagicMirror from the command line, any errors will be in the in the console, prefixed like above.

          Also need to check to see if Electron is throwing any errors. start MagicMirror in dev mode npm start dev. Any Electron errors will show in the browser console, usually in red.

          Also, since the basic config isn’t working for you, but is for me, can you double check that your API Key is correct?

              Hey Jeff,

              just a little update from my side:

              I am using my MagicMirror in a Docker container on a Synology DS718+ NAS. On my physical Mirror is an RPi4 which shows the MagicMirror in fullscreen mode via Browser. It is incredibly hard to get log files this way.
              When I open the log from Docker itself I see entries for the module, but they are all unspectacular.

              Bildschirmfoto 2021-03-08 um 15.43.48.png

              I took the API key and put it into a Get command via Postman:

              GET http://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/stations?appid=34a2f353f6933ab3b5deletedpart>

              [
                  {
                      "id": "5ff1e82e09<deletedpart>",
                      "created_at": "2021-01-03T15:52:14.089Z",
                      "updated_at": "2021-01-03T15:52:14.089Z",
                      "external_id": "IKNVILIC5",
                      "name": "Neu-Vilich Bonn",
                      "longitude": 7.13,
                      "latitude": 50.74,
                      "altitude": 70,
                      "rank": 10
                  }
              ]
              

              The result looks good, the API key seems to work.

              I don’t have PM2 in my Docker container unfortunately, so I’ll have to see how to get the appropriate log files. I’ll get back to you when I have new findings on this.

              Many greetings,

              Nubi

                @j-e-f-f This is AWESOME!! SO SO much better than the default weather module… Question, how do I change the current weather header from “Forecast” to “Current”?

                  @dkhorse74 That’s the main header… hint…

                  The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

                    thank you so much for the awesome job.
                    however, may I ask how can I change the unit for the wind speed? I can’t seem to find where I can customize this.

                      @anubis273 how do you start your magic mirror?
                      I guess with either npm run start or npm run server
                      In either case, you should be able to see the logs that are generated in the console…

                      you may also want to try to change the log level in your config.js to a more verbose level than “ERORR” (which I believe is the default)

                        Nice Module.

                        But i dont get the german time format (24H) not working. And do you have any idea how to have the germany translation of the warnings?

                        Here is my config:

                        		{
                        		module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
                        		position: "top_right",
                        //		header: "Forecast",
                        		config: {
                        			apikey: "myKey", //only string here
                        			latitude: 53,            //number works here
                        			longitude: 10,          //so does a string
                        			language: "de",
                        			forecastHeaderText: "Wetter Vorhersage für ....",
                        			iconset: "3c",
                        			label_timeFormat: "k[h]",
                        			label_days: ["So", "Mo", "Di", "Mi", "Do", "Fr", "Sa"]
                        			}
                        		},
