2.29.0 Weather Module w/api v3.0 works, sort of…

[reilley]

@sdetweil - Hi Sam! I’m not even calling locationID in my script.

Here’s what I have:

module: “weather”,
position: “top_center”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
type: “current:,
weatherEndpoint: ‘/onecall’,
lat: ‘34.17188’.
lon: ‘-84.57056’,
apiVersion: ‘3.0’,
apiKey: 'nunya”

[reilley]

@sdetweil - Oh okay - I was wondering why you mentioned case. That was just a typo here on my part. When I was using it, it was “locationID”.

[HeikoGr]

forecast need lot / lan set. locationID as in api 2.5 isn’t working anymore (with api 3.0) sorry, didn’t read your post properly…

openweather doesn’t add geoname in response. so i guess it’s the timezone.

[reilley]

OK, it would appear when /onecall is used, the OpenWeatherMap.js script controls the header and you’re either going to get:

${data.timezone}

or

${data.city.name},${data.city.country}

I’m see the first option, timezone. It’s correct, but I don’t want timezone. I want city/country. Booooo!!!

@reilley did you get it working with city, country?
Peter

[reilley]

@Peter - Unfortunately, not yet. I’m wondering if anyone has been able to using the 3.0 API!

[HeikoGr]

I got it working and think there are a few tricky typos in your config.

module: “weather”,
position: “top_center”,
config: {
weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
type: “current:,
weatherEndpoint: ‘/onecall’,
lat: ‘34.17188’.
lon: ‘-84.57056’,
apiVersion: ‘3.0’,
apiKey: 'nunya”

Line 5: closing quotation marks are missing
Line 7: point as line ending instead of comma
Line 10: wrong quotation mark

Your config entry type is from line 5 - 10.

[Peter]

@HeikoGr does it show country and city in the header?
Peter

[HeikoGr]

@Peter no, unfortunately not

[Peter]

@HeikoGr what does it show in the header?
And do you see the right weather for your location?
Peter

[HeikoGr]

@Peter it shows the timezone „EUROPE/BERLIN“, but the weather is correct.

[Peter]

@HeikoGr can you share your config?
Without the key and only the weatherpart.
Thanks!
Peter

[HeikoGr]

@Peter of course

@HeikoGr thanks.
I will try tomorrow.
I will let you know!
Peter

[reilley]

@HeikoGr - so as it was said before, we’re not going to see our city the way we did under v2.5 of the API. That’s going to likely need a response from the MM2 dev team because if /open call is used, it’s timezone/city only. It seems api 3.0 broke the location/locationID functionality when using “current” or “forecast”. Or did someone else get it to work?

[sdetweil]

@reilley that’s open weather 3.0 is /onecall only

nothing we can do but force you to specify the header yourself
does that work or get overridden by the weather data?

i am not where i can test

[reilley]

@sdetweil - sure, I’d be happy to force my header if that’s possible. So for example, with forecast I would want it to say:

Forecast - Canton, GA

Or similar, of course. I could test it if you could let me know where to insert that line of code.

[reilley]

@HeikoGr - sorry, I didn’t copy/paste from the actual editor. I typed all that in and made a few errors! Sorry for the goose chase!

[sdetweil]

@reilley header is a property beside module

[HeikoGr]

I just tested it. You can pass a header by yourself but need to add

appendLocationNameToHeader: false,

Otherwise it will add the timezone again.
