I’ve used <a href="http://latlong.net" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">latlong.net</a> to get the right Latitude and Longitude, but it’s still not right. When I navigate to <a href="http://openweathermap.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">openweathermap.org</a>, I see the correct temperature for my location (New Jersey, USA).</p>
<p dir="auto">Any idea what could cause this? I don’t think the config allows anything other than lat/long to determine the location (e.g., no zip code, or location ID).</p>

<pre><code class="language-text">At a minimum you need to supply the following required configuration parameters:

apikey
latitude
longitude
apikey needs to be specified as a String, while latitude and longitude can be specified as either a String or a Number. Both work fine.

By default the module uses the OpenWeater One Call API in version 3.0 now cause version 2.5 has been shut down in June 2024. If you know what you are doing you can use the config option apiBaseURL to specify the URL you like.
</code></pre>
<p dir="auto">SO, you don’t need the apiBase property</p>
<p dir="auto">and you DID get a new 3.0 apikey, (which is backed by a credit card), right?</p>
<p dir="auto">the old (2.5) apiKey will not work with the 3.0 /onecall endpoint</p>
<p dir="auto">also, for future… all config and log info in a code block please here on the forum</p>
<p dir="auto">to do</p>
<p dir="auto">paste text into editor, blank line above and below<br />
select text just pasted<br />
hit &lt;/&gt; button above editor</p>
<p dir="auto">the code block markers will be added… they MUST start a new line by themselves(why the blank line above/below)</p>
