MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

Great job, I like it very much, thanks for that.

I’ve had it running for about 8 weeks and I’ve noticed that my temperature readings are correct, but my weather is always showing as cloudy or rainy in advance, even though the sun has been shining 90% of the time for weeks and almost never rains

I checked the latitude and longitude several times and read them out and accepted them either via https://www.latlong.net/ or via google.

What can be the reason for the fact that I keep getting only clouds and rain, even though the sun is shining most of the time?

Place of residence is: Germany Hohenschambach
Width 49.039349
Longitude 11.847070

I hope you can help me here 😊
My English skills are not very good, I translated it with google, I hope you understand what I want to say 😊

@sil3ntstorm remove the quotes from around the lat/long… that makes then a string, not a number…

most modules cannot handle the difference

anyplace just numbers, remove quotes

Like now?
I did it but the clouds or rain are still displayed to me, no change from before. The 3 apps on the mobile all show sun most of the time and at least 10 hours of sun (just like in the past, always sunny and dry in the app and in real but always cloudy and rainy in the MM module)

@sil3ntstorm thats what the web site shows too

accuweather shows similar

[sil3ntstorm]

The data is read from https://home.openweathermap.org and displayed on the MM, right?
Since these often do not match for my area, I want to know whether it is possible to store another provider? For example
https://www.wetteronline.de/wettertrend/hemau

[sdetweil]

@sil3ntstorm

correct. the module takes info from the openweathermap api (and the data appears valid from the api and web page)

but the MMM-OpenWeatherMap module only works with OpenWeather as far as I know.

I am not aware of the quality of other modules

I’m having some problems and do not know exactly what is wrong, got this error:

[29.08.2022 09:51.32.701] [LOG] [MMM-OpenWeatherForecast] 29-Aug-22 09:51 ** ERROR ** Error: Request failed with status code 401

I get this on my screen

I did not do any configuration just using this as a Code:

{
                        module: "weather",
                        position: "top_right",
                        header: "Weather Forecast",
                        config: {
                                weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
                                type: "forecast",
                                location: "Suwanee",
                                locationID: "4225309",
                                apiKey: "MYKEY"
                        }
                },


                  {
                    module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
                    position: "top_right",
                    header: "Forecast",
                    config: {
                      apikey: "MYKEY", //only string here
                      latitude: 51.490230,            //number works here
                      longitude: -0.258810,          //so does a string
                    }
                  },

@bassin12 said in MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast:

I did not do any configuration just using this as a Code:

that is configuration (editing config.js)

I do not know… the error says the source returned a 401 error code
not my module… open an issue on the module github page…
