Modifying the Config File
-
Sam, I seem to be deeper in the weeds. After adding the apiVersion:3.0 parameter just below the config identifier in the config file -
running dev displays the following error-
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'weather identifie ‘weatherProvider’
and the config file blows up.
Do I need to add this on some other line?
-
@jimb after the config: for the module
-
Sam, that’s where I put it. I can’t cut and paste here because I’m on a different computer than the Pi.

turn on ssh, and install the bitvise or winscp ssh clients
then you can do everything from your PC. it’s SOOOOO much better
-
Sam , After adding the commas to the end of the version Iine I ran it with the check on the config file- All OK. I ran MM in Dev mode and now am getting a 401 error when it attempts to load the openweather resource files. So I seem to not be passing the version or ID string>
-
@jimb can you show the config for the weather module…
-
Sam, as a last resort (operating from 2 computers) I attemped to take a picture with my phone and copy that here. No luck. I hear you about working from my PC on the pi, but beyond my experience level. I could try and copy to another place or system?
-
@jimb posting your pic is the third icon from the right above the message editor
-
Sam, I get an error when trying to copy the file. Does it need to have a particular extension? -
@jimb copy what file?
-
Phone picture of the Config.js file. The picture has a jpg extension.
-
@jimb never any trouble, 3rd icon from the right
-
Sam, I don’t know why the picture is not copied, I suspect it is over-sized. Dev yield
The first 12 s the following error message:
Failed to load resource: the api.openweatherapp.0…c6acaacfb123ce212:1 server responded with a status of 401 (unauthorized)
(twice)
Could not locate data …TypeError: Cannot read openweathermap.is 43 properties of undefined (reading ‘humidity’)
…then as time increases and it tries to update the screen more specific error messages occurThye first 12 characters of my api id are truncated in the first error message text above
-
@jimb yes I have had to upload to my PC, then edit the.pic smaller sometimes. technology is so cool sometimes
-
@jimb once you download it search for your location. For example, city. It with show your locationID or long or lat. Etc
-
Guys,
It’s obvious that I am not specifying the correct item or leaving something out. It’s difficult because noe of the examples I’ve see "lay out’ the complete line of the config only some parts. I’ve played with different items changing them aroud and I get different reports from running in dev of either “401 no authorized” to “404 not found” on the string sent to weathermap. I am using the following-
apiVersion: “3.0”
location: “Houston”
locationID: “4699066”
apiKey: “xxx” a 32 digit hexadecimal received after registering.
I am not using the Lat or Lon at this time -
@jimb weather is a pain in the rear. the providers are mess, openweather is the worst
I believe if you have the new API version you must set the endpoint:“/onecall”
AND then you MUST USE lat/lon -
A lillte ray of sunshine… It 'apears" to be talking with operweather now since the MM display shows-
UNDEFINED
(wind symbol) 0 north INVALID DATE
NaN (degrees)
Feels like 32.0 degrees
WEATHER FORECAST UNDEFINED
I’m still getting 401 Unauthorized failed to load resource file. And getting other Cannot Read errors from openweather when using DEV option while running MM
-
@jimb can you post the complete module definition
xxx out the apikey field
-
Sam, here tis. I just noticed the string symbol ($) and the brackets ({}) in the apiKey. I found that in the instructions in MM. I didn’t try the config without them…
module: “weather”,
units: “imperial”,
windUnits: “imperial”,
tenpUnits: “imperial”,
position: 'top right",
config: {
apiVersion: “3.0”,
weatherProvider: “openweather”,
weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”,
lat: “33.50872”,
lon: “-96.612213”,
type: “current”,
location: “Houston”,
locationID: 4699066",
apiKey: “${xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}”,
}
