MMM-OpenWeatherForecast - Replacement for MMM-DarkSkyForecast

sil3ntstorm

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

     requestDelay: "2000",

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

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

Captura de tela 2022-08-29 100754.jpg

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

{
                        module: "weather",
                        position: "top_right",
                        header: "Weather Forecast",
                        config: {
                                weatherProvider: "openweathermap",

                },


                  {

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

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…

sdetweil

@bassin12 also the code block start (the 3 backtics) must be on the start of the line

I edited your post to fix that

sdetweil

@bassin12

my config , both work (and the default weather module in both current and forecast mode)

{
		module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast",
		position: "top_right",
		header: "Wettervorschau Schama",
		config: {
			apikey: "xxxx",
			latitude: 49.039349,
			longitude: 11.847070,
			units:"metric",
			iconset: "4c",
			colored: true,
			concise: true
		}
},
		{
			module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",
			header: "Weather",
			position: "top_left",
			classes: "default everyone",
			disabled: false,
			config: {
				apikey: "..",

@sdetweil
When I try the code in the config.js I get this in the logs

yes, bug in his code…

use the code I posted on page one to extend the error reporting

but it returns 401 as well…

DDE12

Is there a solution for this error? Is it something I’ve done or something in the module code?

[MMM-OpenWeatherForecast] 12-Nov-22 23:49 ** ERROR ** Error: Request failed with status code 401

sdetweil

@DDE12 401 eror is unauthorized

so the apikey you are using has expired

DDE12

@sdetweil
I setup the default weather module with OpenWeather and it is working with the key I have. I obtained the key a few days ago. Is it the same key for MMM-OpenWeatherForecast?

sdetweil

@DDE12 no idea

the module says go here
https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_up
the default weather openWeathermap provide says
https://home.openweathermap.org/users/sign_in

so it would seem the same key

the module uses this path

https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/onecall?"

the default module uses this

		apiVersion: "2.5",
		apiBase: "https://api.openweathermap.org/data/"
                        +apiVersion+"onecall?"

so, they appear the same

DDE12

@sdetweil
I put in a new key just to see but still have the same 401 error. When I installed the module I got

npm WARN old lockfile
npm WARN old lockfile The package-lock.json file was created with an old version of npm,
npm WARN old lockfile so supplemental metadata must be fetched from the registry.

@DDE12 NEVER run audit fix…

i don’t know why the MMM-OpenWeatherForecast is failing ,
other than it says unauthorized. i would open an issue for the author.
