Weatherbit Unit

Matthewlawson3

Hi, I have been having a hard time finding a Weather module that allows a free API and works. I am trying out the MMM-NOAA3 module found out the link below and am trying to use Weatherbit. I need to change the units to Fahrenheit. Can I do this?

Also, can anyone recommend a working good module besides NOAA3?

@matthewlawson3 Hi, I do not use this module but for other similar modules the change of temperature units, distance, wind measurement units … can be set in the module’s config.js. Search there.

@matthewlawson3 MMM-OpenWeatherForecast is the best.

@bkeyport I noticed that on the city list provided by Open Weather that it has the wrong latitude and longitude for my city. I’ll have to double check, but if I recall correctly it had it wrong.

I don’t suppose one can input coordinates manually?

All I did was go to Google maps, found my “village” coordinates and plugged them into lat and long in the config.sys and “Bob’s your uncle”.

@george Thanks. I tried using “unit” in the config area of the module and set it to imperial and also tried just the letter “I” and when I launched with npm start it said something was wrong with the config file.

@scumbelly this was with OpenWeather? If so, I’ll try that rather than going through the OpenWeather city ID list and looking for my city.

From the module .js file…

Module.register(“MMM-OpenWeatherForecast”, {

/*
This module uses the Nunjucks templating system introduced in
version 2.2.0 of MagicMirror. If you’re seeing nothing on your
display where you expect this module to appear, make sure your
MagicMirror version is at least 2.2.0.
*/
requiresVersion: “2.2.0”,

defaults: {
apikey: “”,
latitude: “”,
longitude: “”,

…and add lat and long into the config.js (sorry for wrong extension in earlier post).

Example,

{
			module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",
			disabled: false,
			header: "",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
			apikey: "wholelottanumbers",
			latitude: "4X.XXXXXX",
			longitude: "-7X.XXXXXX",
			iconset: "4c",
			concise: false,
			forecastLayout: "table",
			showCurrentConditions: false,
			showExtraCurrentConditions: false,
			showSummary: false,
			showForecastTableColumnHeaderIcons: false
			}
		},

Cheers

@scumbelly @scumbelly I am running version 2.14.0

I don’t see that particular information in the config file. Below is what I see. Do I need to install OpenWeather from the 3rd party modules even though it was pre-installed? Or can I just copy and paste in what you have given me?

{
module: “currentweather”,
position: “top_right”,
config: {
location: “Dandridge”,
locationID: “5128581”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
appid: “YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY”
}
},
{
module: “weatherforecast”,
position: “top_right”,
header: “Weather Forecast”,
config: {
location: “New York”,
locationID: “5128581”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
appid: “YOUR_OPENWEATHER_API_KEY”
}
},
