Trouble Integrating MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast with OpenWeather API v3.0

[sdetweil]

@Socrates said in Trouble Integrating MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast with OpenWeather API v3.0:

restarted MM, still no avail.

all that change did was output the status code to the log , instead of the empty error

so, the log output will tell you
Im sure its 401

I hacked my apikey , and this is what the line should look like in the log

Sounds good, its getting very late here in Houston, I will check this in the morning, add a credit card on file with OpenWeather and subscribe to a v3.0 api, make the changes accordingly and let u know in the morning. Thanks again for helping me out with this.

Ok, before i go to sleep i had to do this.
I added a credit card on openweather and subscribed for the plan.
created a new api, and added it to the owmf module config file.

restarted mm, and navigated to the log file, and i see this…

@sdetweil
Sorry to keep nagging you. But today morning when i started troubleshooting MM, i see the Weather title bar show up, but the whole module per say is loading.
I have the credit card on file with openweather, and have subscribed to v3.0 api

[sdetweil]

@Socrates can you show the log output?

[Socrates]

@sdetweil
Thanks, i have pm’ed you the output, as the output file contains api keys and all google calander private url details. Hence sent it to you through pm

[sdetweil]

@Socrates sent pm back

It looks like i might be facing an issue with the OpenWeather api. Under services tab i see this msg. It looks like Hourly and Daily forcast is still not available to me.
My membership services shows. See screenshot below.

However my subscription shows its active with the paid membership

I have written an email to OpenWeather support, as soon as i hear from them, i will report back. I think this has to do with my subscription and for them to activate the daily forcast on my account.

@Socrates when u need to upload a pic, use the 2nd icon from the right (upload image) on the editor toolbar

[sdetweil]

@Socrates remember it worked ok from my system

[Socrates]

@sdetweil
With my API key?

[sdetweil]

@Socrates yes, i copied your config exactly, and disabled mine…

Sucks, what do you recommend in this case? Uninstall/delete OWMF module and any css folders relating to it, and reinstall it completely?

[Socrates]

@sdetweil
Other than deleting the module folder what other components relating to OWMF can i delete? Also, is there a way to uninstall instead of deleting, so any dependent package that was installed with OWMF can be removed?

[sdetweil]

@Socrates delete the module folder and reinstall the module . don’t need to edit the config

@sdetweil

Hello and good evening again. The issue has been resolved. Even after reinstalling the module it did not work. Then i thought about something i would have done years back as a Linux System admin if a rpm package was not able to find depedencies already installed, i went and granted chmod -R 777 * to the MMM-OWMF folder, thus giving it recursive permission to read write and execute to self and guest users. After that i restarted and now I can see the module in my dashboard.

Thank you so much for standing with me since yesterday and helping me out with this issue. This has been a great learning curve.

Thanks again!!!

@Socrates BUT BUT BUT that sounds like you installed the module using sudo…

NEVER use sudo with any MagicMirror commands , regardless what anyone says, no reason to do that…

use of sudo leads to troubles like this

[Socrates]

@Socrates
Ah that makes sense. Yes i did use sudo. You are right. Will follow the guidelines now.
