@Ray how often is the module fetching the weather ?
-
@sdetweil In default the module calls the Api every 10 minutes.
-
@wishmaster270 thanks. i knew i could go look, asking poster to do the same.
-
@wishmaster270 yes I have mine set for 15
but that doesn’t explain why when I turn it on for the first time in the morning they already have 20 calls I don’t get that -
@sdetweil I have it set for 15 minutes

@Ray said in MMM-OpenWeatherForecast:

-
@MarcLandis sorry for the misunderstanding there
when I activate my mirror and it checks the weather -
@Ray updates are still done even the screen is off.
-
@MarcLandis yes I get that and I totally understand that
but that’s not my question maybe it can’t be answered
my magic mirror is on a computer when I boot the computer up in the morning it will automatically start magic mirror usually the first thing it checks is the weather
if I turn the computer off there should be no more calls to the weather appso my original question would be if I turn my computer on first thing in the morning and I go to the weather app why does it say I already have 20 calls that’s my real question

Hi, I do not know your set up nor do I know when the “in one day” changes to the next day at OpenWeaterMap.
I use the API Key exactly in this module and only have one instance of the mirror running…
I just checked my statistics at OpenWeaterMap and I do have at about 112 calls a day. Which is correct as my mirror is shutdown between 11:30pm and 5am.Maybe it is a matter of your timezone and calls of the last day are counted in the current one.
What does your statistic look like

Edit:
And one small side note. Even if you use different keys the calls a summarized per account
