Modifying the Config File

jimb

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}”,
}
},

@jimb I don’t understand that comment about $[] as the sample looks like this

please take those characters off, it should just be the text provided by openweather, in quotes

jimb

Sam, this was from one source (above that you pasted). Mo config with the weather data is above that and includes the items I mentioned. BTW, I keyed it separately as I am unable to paste from the Rasberry Pi to my windows PC.

@jimb on the pi desktop, menu top left
preferences, pi preferences.
interfaces, check ssh on. ok,
change host name, just look at it, should be raspberrypi

then save/exit, reboot

on your PC do

ssh pi@raspberrypi

if the userid you created on the pi is pi.

use the password you set when you booted the first time

now you have a terminal on the pi from your PC, and you can copy/paste in both directions…

jimb

Sam, I remember the name I gave to the Pi, but unfortunately not the password. Is there a way to find it?

sdetweil

@jimb np, but you should be able to change it from the preferences without knowing it

jimb

Sam, I know the name assigned to the rasberry. I now know the password as I have changed it. SSH is not resolving the hostname. So, what is the proper way to populate the following-

ssh {what goes here}@{what goes here}

Example: ssh {{hostname} @ {password} ???

sdetweil

@jimb ssh user @ hostname

every command supports help

command_name -h or --h

jimb

Sam, the username seems to be OK, but the hostame doesn’t resolve. Even though it shows in preference. Am I missing something

sdetweil

@jimb try adding .local after the hostname

or use the IP address of the pi.
