https://github.com/njwilliams/MMM-PlaceInfo not loading

Does anyone else use this module/anyone having trouble with it?

I got my API keys and set up the config file. When I launch MM, not only does the PlaceInfo module not load (when set to either top_center or bottom_center), but none of my modules will load besides top_left, top_center, and middle_center regions. I’m getting no errors in the terminal. Here is my config.js entry:

{
module: 'MMM-PlaceInfo',
position: 'top-center',
config: {
weatherAPIKey: "myopenweatherAPIkey",
currencyAPIKey: "myfixer.ioAPIkey",
currencyPrecision: 2,
currencyRelativeTo: 'USD',
places: [
{
title: "London",
flag: "gb",
currency: "GBP",
timezone: "Europe/London",
weatherID: "2643743",
},
{
title: "Tokyo",
flag: "jp",
currency: "JPY",
timezone: "Asia/Tokyo",
weatherID: "1857910",
}
]
}
},

I finally managed to get the module running. I used the following fork

I’m having the same issue. Any updates?

sdetweil

@dresch360 can u open the developers window. ctrl-shift-i on the mirror keyboard and select the console tab

Zoltan

@Dresch360
I suspect it is a “,” issue but I also cant seem to figure it. Did you manage?

sdetweil

@Zoltan the latest problems are because
Openweather changed their business model and require user to supply credit card to use the new /onecall endpoint

So you have to set apiversion to 3.0 and the endpoint to /onecall

@sdetweil
Thanks very much for the heads up. I remember now when one of my displays crashed due to the 2.5 that had to be changed to 3.0. Thanks for the quick response

sdetweil

@Zoltan did that solve the problem?

lmhmm

@sdetweil I use this very successfully and it works fully for weather and currency.

The secret is to use apilayer not fixer make these alterations:

Line57 https://api.apilayer.com/fixer/latest

58&59, 151 GBP

460 ?apikey=

That’s it just change in the js file. I don’t know but I downloaded the Open Weather module and it still keeps working for this. I have AccuWeatherDeluxe installed also.

So nothing new on weather.

It’s a great module,

Good Luck,

Lorraine

Thanks all. I am much closer than before. I now at least have a visual of the module. I however currently see on the mirror the following just below the Flag, City, Time.

Currency failed (401)
Weather failed (HTTP 400)

I think it might be that i am blocked being in South Africa but i will still try a few things

Thanks so much for the advise and help, its much appreciated
