      Hello,

      Working on OpenWeatherMapForecast and so far have really liked it. One issue, for predicted precipitation I cannot get imperial units to show. I’ve tried changing it within config.js as well as the config file in the module as well. Any suggestions?

      {
      module: “MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast”,
      header: “Weather”,
      position: “bottom_right”,
      classes: “default everyone”,
      disabled: false,
      config: {
      apikey: “KEY”,
      latitude: “444444”,
      longitude: “-4444444”,
      iconset: “4c”,
      concise: false,
      forecastLayout: “table”,
      units: “imperial”,
      }
      },

          @sdetweil I’m not quite sure what you’re saying. The ‘Units:“imperial”,’ is incorrect in the code I shared? What should I try differently?

            Just a thought: At the top of your config.js file, what are your config units set to?

            Example:

            var config = {
                address: "0.0.0.0",
                port: 8080,
                ipWhitelist: [], // Set [] to allow all IP addresses
                language: "en",
                timeFormat: 12,
                units: "imperial",
            

            Create a working config

              @mykle1 thanks for the suggestion, but that is set to imperial as well.

                @rslohs its not “Units”, its “units”

                this system is case sensitive, every letter matters

                  @sdetweil that’s what I’m using in the config file.

                  {
                  module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",
                  header: "Schoolcraft, MI Weather",
                  position: "top_right",
                  classes: "default everyone",
                  disabled: false,
                  config: {
                  apikey: "aaaaaaaa",
                  latitude: "aaaaaaa",
                  longitude: "aaaaaa",
                  iconset: "4c",
                  concise: false,
                  forecastLayout: "table",
                  units: "imperial",
                  }
                  },

                    A little late to weigh in but I can verify that imperial setting does not affect the Pop amount. It remains metric. Everything else is imperial.

                    Sorry.

                      Guess what? I was trying to troubleshoot an issue in this module re: scale and noticed the .js file has changed wind calculations and the following…

                      units: {
                      accumulationRain: {
                      imperial: “mm”,
                      metric: “mm”,
                      “”: “mm”
                      },
                      accumulationSnow: {
                      imperial: “mm”,
                      metric: “mm”,
                      “”: “mm”
                      },
                      windSpeed: {
                      imperial: “mph”,
                      metric: “m/s”,
                      “”: “m/s”
                      }
                      },

                      So it looks like imperial might work for you now. I’m not going to test because I need the older .js which I had to modify to get some calculations in kph to work .

                      Cheers

                        My instance of this module also displays rainfall in “mm”, even though I have set units = “imperial” for the MagicMirror system as a whole and also in the module configuration.

                        I see that the Open Weather site has a page specifying “API response parameters with available units of measurement” (https://openweathermap.org/weather-data). There one finds a parameter table specifying Parameter and Description - as well as columns for “Standard”, “Metric” and “Imperial”.

                        The interesting thing is this: the table specifies temperatures correctly (“Kelvin”, “Celsius”, “Fahrenheit”) but for rain it calls out “mm”, “mm”, “mm” - or other variants for different fields, e.g.: “mm/hr” and “mm/hour”.

                        As such, I am inclined to just give up and accept the module’s behavior as a quirk of how Open Weather parses what it is getting from the NWS - but I thought i would see if anyone has a better idea.
