      Having trouble getting weather forecast to display. Current weather is displaying, although it is giving incorrect temperature readings and time. I have confirmed that I have the correct location id as well as API key id on both modules. Does anyone know what might be going on?

        @brendan_c23 Actually just realized the temperature is in Celsius lol. So current weather is actually ok, but am still having trouble getting the forecast to display. Anybody know how to change celsius to Fahrenheit?

          At the top of your config,js file, are your ‘units’ set to imperial?

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

              I don’t use the default weather modules but I loaded up the weather forecast module and it errors, stating:

              Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 401 (Unauthorized)
              weatherforecast.js:261 weatherforecast: Your AppID does not support long term forecasts.
              

              So, it looks like the appKey from open weather is the problem, or, the module is asking for data that is not available to holders of the free api.

              Run your mirror by using npm start dev and see if that is the error you are getting

                Correction, the module loads eventually but with only one day of weather, today.

                  This is with your config entry:

                    @mykle1 Hourly forecast: unavailable
                    Daily forecast: unavailable
                    Calls per minute: 60
                    3 hour forecast: 5 days
                    It seems these are limits for the free API key I have now. Is there a way to tweak the code so it would be compatible? I tried the npm start dev, and got a couple errors popping up, will take picture and post on here
