each of those lines had trailing commas, right?

Not that line but that wasn’t the problem :-)

Thanks for the link showing how to subscribe to OpenWeathermap which solved the problem.

cd ~/MagicMirror
grep version package. json

see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/19323/version-2-30-0-weather-module-stuck-loading-worked-fine-before-upgrade

Everything has worked apart from the weather module.

I am getting the ‘Invalid date’ message a temperature of NaN.

I have tried adding the apiVersion: ‘2.5’
weatherEndpoint: “/weather”

Lines into the config.js file but then MagicMirror doesn’t load.

the section of config.sys is:

{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "current",
				location: "Machat",
				locationID: "2983291", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city


				apiKey: "cxxxxxxxxxxxx57f81f9d82849a2fc21a"
			}
		},
		{
			module: "weather",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
				type: "forecast",
				location: "Machat",
				locationID: "2983291", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city


				apiKey: "cxxxxxxx57f81f9d82849a2fc21a"
			}
		},

I got it working again by adding these 2 settings:

apiVersion: '2.5'
weatherEndpoint: "/weather"

  module: "weather",
  position: "top_right",
  config: {
    lat: "52.262524",
    lon: "6.797571",        
    apiKey: "****",
    appendLocationNameToHeader: false,
    type: "current",
    degreeLabel: true,
    decimalSymbol: ",",
    showWindDirection: false,
    showFeelsLike: false

Here’s a screenshot for reference:
https://github.com/cgillinger/MMM-WeatherEffects/blob/main/screenshots/rich.png

Based on my screenshots (as mentioned, I was focused on tweaking the module and only noticed it afterward), it seems to be intermittent.

I’m using api-free providers, eg SMHI.

weather is done all in browser,
on the MagicMirror screen ctrl-shift-i to
open the developer window, select the console tab,
put wea in the filter field

look for any messages

cd ~/MagicMirror/config
cp config.js.sample  testcfg.js
cd ..

then edit the testcfg.js and paste your weather info from config.js here
then change the units to imperial
save
then on the terminal window

export MM_CONFIG_FILE=config/testcfg.js
npm start

So my code worked for you and the only change was the API key?

correct

That’s nuts. Why would an API key work two days ago and not today? Seems like maybe there’s a configuration problem elsewhere but I not sure where it would be since I made no changes to weather.js or other .js files associated with the Weather module.

So my code worked for you and the only change was the API key?

correct

@reilley I copied your config and used my apikey
no other changes (well I wrapped your config in code block to keep the quotes correct for copy/paste)

So my code worked for you and the only change was the API key? This key worked two days ago, so not sure what’s happening here.

units to imperial
copy/paste your config over the two weather module entries
add my apikey

then

# use env var to point to other config file
export MMM_CONFIG_FILE=config/name_of_file.js
npm start
