Default weather module stuck loading after latest MM update

[Peter]

@sdetweil same problem here.
Upgraded my Openweather account, added paymentdetails (seemed to worked well), generated a new API key (how can I see it is a 3.0 key?)
Used your upgrade script, Sam.
Entered the new key in my config.
Everything works fine except the default weathermodule.

This is my config, maybe somebody can tell me what is wrong?

{
module: "weather",
position: "top_right",
config: {
weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
type: "current",
location: "Apeldoorn",
locationID: "2759705", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
},
{
module: "weather",
position: "top_right",
header: "Weersverwachting",
config: {
colored: true,
weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
type: "forecast",
location: "Apeldoorn",
locationID: "2759705", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
},

@Peter ok, two things…

you ALSO have to add

weatherEndpoint: "/onecall",

to each config, as this is required for the 3.0 api

this makes it work with my 3.0 apikey

second,
in the forum, when you post config, or log info, please use the code block wrapper… else the quotes get changed to workd processing type which JS doesn’t understand

to do
paste the text into the editor, blank line above and below
select the text just pasted
hit the </> button above the editor

@sdetweil Thanks, You solve a 2 weeks headache problem wit this line:

weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”,

[JMac]

@sdetweil so my config was identical to above, so I’ve added you new line “weatherEndpoint…”

I’m using Putty to access the MM and used pm2 to stop the MM.
which it did.
However now, pm2 via Putty is no longer having any effect on the MM.
MM isn’t launching.

run pm2 logs mm and get a parsing error over adding the new line
unexpected token weatherEndpoint your configuration file contains syntax errors.

all I’ve added is weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”, to a final line under the apiKey line above.

any thoughts?

edit to add, pm2 status and logs show that pm2 exists still it’s just not launching. can pm2 be “updated” or should I follow the process for a first install?
for completeness I don’t want it to launch MM on boot I just want to be able to start and stop the MM using pm2.

[sdetweil]

@JMac did u have the trailing comma

we added code to stop MagicMirror coming up with garbage profile on error

[JMac]

@sdetweil I have it exactly as you have it above.

can you share a config for this module as an example?
I can’t even check if this is working with pm2 not launching the MM

[sdetweil]

@JMac

cd ~/MagicMirror
npm start

[Peter]

@sdetweil Adding ‘weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”,’’ gives some kind of weather, but for the wrong location I presume (26C but it is only 15C here).
So, location ID does not work with API 3.0; it worked with 2.5.
Somebody have the solution?
Lat/ Lon?

That parsing error is for the new line added in for weatherEndpoint

[sdetweil]

@JMac yes, the line before needs a trailing comma

@Peter Found it in the documentation!

Note: Latitude and longitude are REQUIRED if weatherEndpoint is set to ‘/onecall’. The locationID and location options are ignored when the OpenWeatherMap One Call API is used.

https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html#configuration-options

[Peter]

@MaXi-XCeL it works!
Thanks,
Peter

Hi I have a new problem now, using /onecall and the correct Lat /Long parameters shows my Time Zone Name omn top of Weather modules and a Crazy time… the Clock Module shows correct.

What else I need to modify to have Weather working again like before the doomed update? ( “Xx” for privacy)

	{
		module: "weather",
		CalendarClasses: "current",
		position: "top_right",
		header: "Weather Forecast",
        disabled: false,
		config: {
			weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
			weatherEndpoint: "/onecall",
			//updateInterval: "20",
			type: "current",
			tempUnits: "imperial",
			degreeLabel: "false",
			location: "XxXxX",
			locationID: "XXxXXX", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
			apiKey: "XxXXXXxxXXXXxXXxXXxX",
            showFeelsLike: "false",
			lat: "2XXXX350",
            lon: "-8X.3XXxX915"	
			
		}

[pritikin71]

@sdetweil Thank you a lot.

I was able to fix the header problem but not the time problem. I looked to a lot of /js files looking for the TimeZone Parameter but I didnt get it.

Also is really weird the 18:48… the different minutes tells that maybe isn’t a timezone problem.

[sdetweil]

@pritikin71 weather with openweather 3 uses lat/lon for location
and time is local system time . make sure you have timezone set correctly

corrected below… sunrise/sunset time is shown (whichever is next)
not current wall clock time

Also is really weird the 18:48

this is not an actual time, but sunrise or sunset (depending on what comes next)

[sdetweil]

@karsten13 dang I get that wrong EVERY time!
