      It’s not working anymore because of this https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues/16665

      Check the browser logs and you will see a 401

        @mmmallday – I already have a ver 3.0 API key, so if that is what you are referencing it’s covered.

        Query: When you say “It’s not there…”, what “it” are you referencing? If you mean the weather in general, it’s definitely there - pulled from openweathermap and displayed on two different modules. I see it on my Magic Mirror as we speak on the default weather module and on MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast.

        I’m asking specifically about the alert information that gets delivered along with current conditions, forecasts, etc. This module [MMM-WeatherAlerts] should pull the weather data from openweathermap and display when [and only when] there is an active alert for the designated location. That is what is not happening… [FWIW, AFAIK other modules should also display alerts, e.g: MMM-OpenWeathermapForecast.]

        I just now confirmed that openweathermap is actually sending the data. My location had a warning but it just expired, so I used my API key and queried them for a location the National Weather Service says is under a tornado warning.

        Testing this is relatively straightforward. Go to the NWS alerts page to find a location with a current alert: https://alerts.weather.gov/search?region_type=land

        Once you have a candidate location get the lat + lon from Google Maps, then use that and your API key to get the data in the browser, e.g.: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat=35.0194&lon=-97.3709&exclude=minutely&units=metric&lang=en&APPID=123456789123456789

        Following is a snippet of the data retrieved (it’s at the very bottom of the page):

        alerts	
        0	
        sender_name	"NWS Norman OK"
        event	"Flood Watch"
        start	1730730660
        end	1730764800
        description	"* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be\npossible.\n\n* WHERE...Portions of Oklahoma, including the following counties,\nAtoka, Blaine, Bryan, Caddo, Canadian, Carter, Cleveland, Coal,\nComanche, Cotton, Garfield, Garvin, Grady, Grant, Hughes, Jackson,\nJefferson, Johnston, Kay, Kingfisher, Kiowa, Lincoln, Logan, Love,\nMarshall, McClain, Murray, Noble, Oklahoma, Payne, Pontotoc,\nPottawatomie, Seminole, Stephens and Tillman and northern Texas,\nincluding the following counties, Archer, Baylor, Clay, Foard,\nHardeman, Knox, Wichita and Wilbarger.\n\n* WHEN...Until 6 PM CST this evening.\n\n* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,\ncreeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.\nFlooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas.\n\n* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...\n- Additional rounds of heavy rain will be possible through\nMonday, ending from west to east Monday afternoon. Many areas\nin the watch have seen 2 to 4 inches of rainfall, with some\nlocations 5 to 8 inches. The additional rain could lead to\nrapid flooding, especially in low lying and poorly drained\nareas.\n- http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood"

        So my question remains - why is it that the National Weather Service is creating alerts, onerweathermap is collecting and delivering the alerts, but the alerts aren’t being processed by our modules?

          @mmmallday – Update: I now have this running. I made two changes and it now displays alerts.

          It is not clear why these changes made any difference, because when i revert the changes the module still works. I would expect that if either or both made a difference, the module behavior would have changed back…

          The first change was to remove a line I had added in the config to specify the endpoint, which is now removed

          weatherEndpoint: "/onecall",
          

          The other change was to reduce the number of decimal points in the lat and lon from the six (6) produced by Google Maps to four(4), which I recall having used in the past.

          As I said, it’s not clear what I did, but it’s working now so I will leave this module alone and go on to something else. Before I mark this as solved, I will wait a bit to see if anyone had further input as to the actual resolution.

          Thanks for your time and attention.

            Cool. I moved to https://github.com/mmtsweng/MMM-NOAAAlerts No API keys needed

                @mmmallday Great find!

                I did not see MMM-NOAAAlerts on either the 3rd Party Modules (official) or the Magicial Mirror² 3rd Party Modules (official) page.

                I have setup this module and it worked for me. I used 4 decimal places on the lat and long.

                    Is it going to be added to the list? FYI I’m gonna have a PR out to fix scrolling within the month if you wanna look.

                      @mmmallday I added it to 3rd party weather modules

                      Let me know as soon as you have a PR, and I will merge it to master.
