      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.

        weatherforecast: Your AppID does not support long term forecasts. Switching to fallback endpoint.
        

        Totally not your fault, just so you know.

        And I guess mine does not either, However, the module does load after a short delay but it only displays tomorrow’s weather. Same as when using my api key.

        This is very odd as I tested your api key in another weather module that uses open weather and it is giving all the data and NO errors. SO, I’m guessing the weatheforecast module itself has some issues.

        Are you dead set on using weatherforecast? There are many weather modules that provide you with forecasts and current weather. I’m fairly sure that some of them were built upon the openweather api and your current api key should work fine with them. Personally, I don’t use the default weather modules. I’ll be happy to give you a hand with them if you are willing to try them.

        Edit:

        I’ve just been informed that in the new MM release (April 1) both of those modules are being replaced by a newer version that does both current and forecast. Sheeesh

          @mykle1 I see the edit but now I’m wondering if the issue you and Brendan are experiencing are related to this old bug that was fixed last year and maybe it came back? Or that code could be a workaround until the fix next month.

            Well, I’m not going to do that because the module is deprecated. Doesn’t make much sense to me. If you feel the need, have at it. :-)

              How do I run the mirror from within the directory?

              1. Open a terminal
              2. Change directory to MagicMirror. Usually done by cd MagicMirror unless you installed somewhere else.
              3. Then npm start

                MagicMirror is a web page (see index.html) loaded by a browser (electron)

                the main core of mm is a JavaScript wrapper around standard dynamic html, which allows api calls to manipulate the web page (DOM) content.

                there are predefined areas (positions) for scripts (modules) to place their content in.
                the mm runtime calls the module to get it’s content contribution. and then puts that content in the position defined for this module (in config.js module entry)

                all content is provided by module entries in config.js otherwise the page is empty ( see index.html)

                some additional functions are provided by the runtime.

                inter module communications, by way of typeless broadcast messages. the receiver must understand and handle the data format of any message it proposes to process.

                due to browser security constraints, a module (running in the browser) cannot access the file system or any hardware.

                so a ‘server’ side module component is launched in the background, ‘node_helper’… which CAN , and communications are supported between the helper and the browser module code, in a similar way as between modules. except the flow is only between the module and ITS helper.

                the implementation of the helper/module communications supports messaging over networks, so the helper is where the ‘server’ is and the browser can be where the user is… the browser can be any es6 or above browser

                electron chrome firefox edge…

                as it’s a web page all the standard css techniques are available to style the content, by module or collectively…
