      Hi there,

      I have made the latest update of MM and got an error because the Weather Module is Deprecated (wonder whether this could be updated in the last update of MM as it is an standard module, anyway).

      I am trying to add the config file the following code:

      {
      module: “weather”,
      position: “top_right”,
      config: {
      type: “forecast”,
      location: “Amsterdam,Netherlands”,
      locationID: “”,
      apiKey: “abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab”
      }
      }

      as suggested in https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weatherforecast.html#migration.

      but this doesn’t solve the issue.

      Is there any way to migrate from the old version of Weather Module to the new one?

      Many thanks in advance!

        @Canguingo You need to put in your key (which used to be in the appid entry in your old config) into the apiKey entry there. What is listed is just a default dummy one in the example you quote.

        I’m actually just doing the update myself at the moment, and now tweaking the newer module to emulate the appearance of the old two.

        Can you post your old config.js entries for the modules (removing key strings and anything else you want to keep private) and then we can try to get your new version transposed across. Just finished mine, now minor tweaks ongoing.

            Hey Darren,

            Many thanks. I did the update of the MagicMirror, and changed the code in the config file. Do I need to update in anyway the Weather Module as well, or with the code in config file is enough?

            I have added the api etc indeed, and I only see “data uploading” but nothing else.

            Any suggestions?

            Many thanks!

              Hi Jerry,

              I indeed added the IDs and apikey. But nothing is loading. Do I need to update the Weather Module as well? I thought this was done automatically.

              The rest of the code is same as yours but with my location and apikey.

              Many thanks!

                @Canguingo Nothing needs to be done in the module, it should already have been there in parallel to the old ones for the last few versions of MM.

                All you need to do is make the changes in config.js as detailed on the migration/depreciation part of the documentation. That will switch you over from the old modules to the new one.

                What has happened with the 2.19 update is the old modules have basically been removed and just replaced with the notification that you see on the mirror screen now (and that will also presumably be removed going forward).

                The config.js entry should look something like the template version you posted originally, except of course you will need to use your own specific API key rather than the abcde12345 placeholder and your specific location (unless you happen to be in Amsterdam).

                  The config is “apiKey” and in the old config i’ts “appi”

                  So please check the typing.

                    thanks.
                    So i did what you suggested. just added/changed the config.js and it looks exactly like yours.
                    still not working. do i need to ask for a new api key? i already had one for the previous version.

                      The config is “apiKey” and in the old config i’ts “appi”

                      So please check the typing.

                      yes i just mixed up the terms in this threat. do you mean i need a new apikey different than the old appi i already had?

                        @Canguingo you are just changing the label of the apikey value in config.js
