        Please follow sdetweil’s suggestion to look for errors. Again, if you copy and paste the following config entry directly into your config it should avoid the syntax errors. Enter your API key EXACTLY. This is very important.

        {
              disabled: false,
              module: "MMM-BMW-DS",
              position: "bottom_bar", // bottom_bar is best
              config: {
                apiKey: "YOUR API KEY GOES HERE", // Free API key @ darksky.net
                tempUnits: "F", // MUST BE CAPITAL LETTER C or F
                lat: '31.318889',
                lng: '121.395',
                css: "1", // 1=default, 2=Clean, 3=Lord of the Rings, 4=handwriting, 5=Julee, 6=Englebert, "" = returns default css
                ownTitle: "Current Conditions", // Use your own language and statement
                playSounds: "yes", // yes = weather sounds, no = no weather sounds
                useHeader: false,
                header: "Your header",
                maxWidth: "100%",
                }

            Your modules are excellent :)

            • Off topic but does Hello-Lucy still work? I’ve installed it but always starts off with blank screen - even when I put hide all - false. Mic works but no response. I start with saying hello lucy and then Show - your key words like HOROSCOPE. Any help would be GREATLY Appreciated!

              Yes, in fact I’ve just finished a substantial upgrade. You’ve installed recently?

              Please paste your config entry in a code block ( </> in menu) so I can take a look at it.

                  Ok, the config is fine. I just tested it.

                  1. When you say Hello Lucy, the microphone icon does not start pulsing?
                  2. Have you installed and enabled the modules that are named in the config?

                    Hi, Yes, modules are set to disabled: false

                    Also, I don’t see any microphone icon and even with starthideall at false - still blank on boot up screen?

                    i can hear my microphone through my speaker when I talk so mic seems to be working

                    unless, I’m not suppose to hear my voice on speaker?

                      startHideAll: false, if true, all modules start as hidden
                      First, you need to comment out after the comma if you are using this line. The entire line is commented out in your example. If you uncomment that line then the module will error.

                      I don’t see any microphone icon and even with starthideall at false - still blank on boot up screen?

                      Then the module is not loading. You should see the microphone icon along with, Say, ‘Hello Lucy’ on screen.

                      unless, I’m not suppose to hear my voice on speaker?

                      That seems odd. Mine does not do that. I don’t know if that’s a problem

                      Start your mirror using npm start dev and then click the console tab in the window that opens. Scroll to find any errors in red and report

                        I Just heard “Hello Michael What would you like to see”

                        :)

                        It seems I was missing lmtool which I just installed

                          says under mic icon

                          Initializing then undefined so it seems I just have to get mic to work

                              OK, that might be the problem because for some reason all the modules were installed in

                              modules/default

                              so when I bash dependencies, it says it couldn’t find the /modules/Hello-Lucy folder

                              I moved the Hello-Lucy folder to modules - ran bash dependencies.sh again but no go :(

                              Thank you for any help !!! I’m a retired computer science teacher that wont’s to keep on learning :)

                                @Mykle1 I just copied and pasted the code you corrected, reset my API, and copied and pasted it, but it didn’t work. I checked the developer window and there are only two warnings, and they don’t seem to have anything to do with this module. I checked my Dark Sky console and it shows that my API has not been called. Now I suspect that there is a problem with my network.

                                  I wonder how that happened? I could take a guess. ;-)

                                  The only modules that belong in the modules/default folder are the default modules from the MagicMirror installation. All additional modules should be installed into the modules folder itself, not the default folder. Each repo should have directions for installation. cd MagicMIrror/modules being the most common

                                  so when I bash dependencies, it says it couldn’t find the /modules/Hello-Lucy folder

                                  Because the installer expects to find Hello-Lucy where it belongs.

                                  I moved the Hello-Lucy folder to modules - ran bash dependencies.sh again but no go

                                  No go, meaning what? Errors? Where did you run that command?

                                    Do you have other modules that are calling an API. Are they working? Please let me know when you’ve confirmed your internet is working and we’ll get MMM-BMW-DS working for you.

                                      Hi, I hear the voice at startup but mic says “Undefined” under it - line through indicating mic not found? I can record and play back at the command line and USB sound card same as yours.

                                      Do you think it could be a dependency that wasn’t installed?

                                      Thank you again for your help

                                        Uhh, I’m not using a USB sound card.

                                        Do you think it could be a dependency that wasn’t installed?

                                        I think, rather than trying to troubleshoot this, it would be best that you delete your current installation of Hello Lucy. You didn’t exactly follow the directions. You can save your config entry.

                                        Read the arecordHelp.md file inside the docs folder of the repo. The microphone should be working before the installation of Hello Lucy.

                                        Then follow the installation instructions in the readMe.md file. if you deviate from the instructions then I won’t be able to help you.
