Weather module config

sdetweil

@mrlowndes for numbers or true/false, no quotes, all else with quotes, doesn’t matter which kind as long as both ends are the same
in a list it can be either for each entry, as long as both ends are the same

updateInterval" “3600000”,

should be name: value
so
updateInterval : “3600000”,

@sdetweil thanks. That got rid of the errors, now when I npm start the weather module seems to be just loading indefinitely. Any ideas?

sdetweil

@mrlowndes did u get an apiid? ‘loading’ means waiting for data … so, the component getting the data did not succeed

npm start
then look at the messages

or possibly open the developers window (f12 or ctrl-shift-i) select the console tab, and scroll up looking for errors…

@mrlowndes said in Weather module config:

index):1 Refused to apply style from ‘http://localhost:8080/css/custom.css’ because its MIME type (‘text/html’) is not a supported stylesheet MIME type, and strict MIME checking is enabled.

ok, don’t know for the slow network.

but for this one

do

touch ~/MagicMirror/css/custom.css

@sdetweil Thanks for the tip. The errors were at the bottom. This is what I found:

@sdetweil do you know where I could get an appid for weathergov? The documentation for the module is very thin

sdetweil

no key required for that point… only works for US locations

mrlowndes

@sdetweil Do you have any suggestions as to what I should try next?

sdetweil

@mrlowndes u can test that the api works from your location

put this in your browser

https://api.weather.gov/points/LAT,LON/forecast

replace the LAT,LON
by the values from the google maps (maps.google.com) of your location…
in the url, you will see two numbers xx.yyyyyy,-uu.zzzzzz
just cut/paste that whole set of numbers and paste over the LAT,LON (notice the comma comes with the numbers too)

mrlowndes

@sdetweil Thanks so much, the documentation doesn’t make that clear at all
