      @donblanco you could create 4 variables at the top of config.js

      var key1= ‘… ’
      var key2=’… ’
      var location_name=‘… ’
      var our_location_id=’… ’

      then use those variable names in the module definitions

      location_id: our_location_id,

      so u only have to change it once, in one isolated place

        but that’s not automated. I guess I was hoping for something like when you go to a weather web site and it automatically uses your location for the current obs and forecast…

          @donblanco none of these apps consider that you move. so they all take fixed locations

              @donblanco you could write some script that could figure it out, and update the config as mm starts

              like this for lat/long

                @sdetweil I’m still going through various widgets. As it turns out, my location based on IP is highly inaccurate. My AT&T cell signal shows up as an IP out of Seattle. So I’ll need GPS info, but I don’t think my wireless device has that built in, just my phones.

                Oh well, something to work on, better than being bored lol
