Problems With Weather

Mykle1

Well, it says right in the error message that your appid is not set. Hmmm

Something else is using port 8080. Most commonly it is because you have more than one instance of MM running at the same time. Or, there is another program on your pi using the same port.

@mykle1 Is it because I am using the same APPid for both weather modules? I have triple checked that I have the correct appid that was also working for the current weather.

No, you can use the appid twice. However, MM can not share port 8080

@mykle1 How could I try fixing this?

@brendan_c23

try running pm2 status in the terminal (I think that’s the command) and post the result here please.

Don’t post a picture. Copy the terminal output and paste it into your reply.

Also, do you have any other programs running on the Pi besides Magic Mirror?

output should look like this

pi@Pi3:~ $ pm2 status

@mykle1 I should not have any other programs running besides the magic mirror as it is the only one I have installed , but not totally sure if there are any default programs already on there.

Mykle1

@brendan_c23

ok,. so try pm2 stop MagicMirror

then pm2 start MagicMirror

Still no luck displaying forecast, thank you again for bearing with me this long

@brendan_c23

Were there any errors when MM launched?

Mykle1

@brendan_c23

MagicMirror should have launched when you issued the pm2 start MagicMirror command

brendan_c23

@mykle1 No errors and yes MM launched, everything is displaying but the forecast

brendan_c23

@mykle1 now it is displaying message: “Please set the correct openweather appid in the config for module: weatherforecast.”

Mykle1

@brendan_c23

I’m done for the night, mate. I would suggest you double check your appid at openweather. copy and paste it into your config entry for weatherforecast and make sure it is in quotes.

Perhaps someone else will continue to help you tonight.

Good luck

@mykle1 So I emailed Openweathermap for help and he said I should use the “One Call Api” https://openweathermap.org/api/one-call-api but I am having trouble figuring out how to incorporate the API call code into the weather forecast module?

Uhhh, I’m pretty sure the default weatherforecast module DOES use the One Call API.

I would try getting another api key using a different email. However, I suspect there might be something else going on there. Would you object to sending me your current openweather api key so I can test it here? If you agree, send it in a private chat message. I’ve sent you a chat. You can send your api key there if you agree.
