OpenWeather loaded but info is empty since update

[sdetweil]

@SdR in the car, see the troubleshooting

[KristjanESPERANTO]

@SdR, did apiVersion: "2.5" really still work before the MM update? That version was deprecated a long time ago (June 2024). See https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/18662/modules-using-openweather-api-need-review.

[KristjanESPERANTO]

So that you can start receiving weather data again right away and don’t have to wait until we’ve figured the issue out, I’d suggest you try a different provider.

Yes, with the settings I posted it still worked like a charm… until the MM recent update.

I checked this section, but couldn’t relate it to my situation. This basicly states to change to API 3.0 or change the provider.

I try to change the provider like advised by @kristjanesperanto but I really like the openweather, so I hope he is able to find and solve the issues based on the info I posted.

[SdR]

@kristjanesperanto I have changed it, as test, with the following copy/paste of a different topic, but got the exact same result… module is showing empty and not loading any weather info:

	{
		module: "weather",
		position: "top_right",
		config: {
			weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
			type: "current",
			lat: 40.776676,
			lon: -73.971321
		}
	},
	{
		module: "weather",
		position: "top_right",
		header: "Weather Forecast",
		config: {
			weatherProvider: "openmeteo",
			type: "forecast",
			lat: 40.776676,
			lon: -73.971321
		}

[KristjanESPERANTO]

@SdR I tested this config on my side and it works. I only had to add one missing closing bracket in your snippet.

Do you see any errors in the terminal?

Also, after pulling the new version, did you run: node --run install-mm?

If openmeteo is also empty, this looks like a general config/runtime issue, not only an OpenWeather API issue.

Please show us the systeminformation from the terminal. Looks like this:

@KristjanESPERANTO and a git status

[SdR]

@KristjanESPERANTO I have used the following command guide to update the MM :
bash -c “$(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sdetweil/MagicMirror_scripts/master/upgrade-script.sh)” apply

So i’m not sure if node --run install-mm is still required then.

im not a expert so i did a little chatgpt search how to pull this info and this is what i got:

[sdetweil]

@SdR ok. The upgrade script is mine

We meant the system-info section of the MagicMirror startup messages.

Runstart.sh is mine for when electron is not found

Can you
git diff package.json

And
ls node_modules/electron

[SdR]

@sdetweil tnx for the commands, this helps :)

i have:

[sdetweil]

@SdR ok. Looks like something added electron/rebuild
And fonts

[SdR]

@sdetweil Ok, as mentioned I only did the update command as mentioned earlier.

Is there something I need to do now to make it work again?

[sdetweil]

@SdR can you show me the end, last 20 lines of the MagicMirror/installers/upgrade.log

[SdR]

@sdetweil appreciate the help!

@SdR >Sun Apr 5 10:08:29 CEST 2026

there was a bug in the upgrade I fixed at 21:00 US Central time

can you edit ~/MagicMirror/installers/mm.sh

and change the

npm start 

to

npm run start:x11

then you can
pm2 restart MagicMirror

[SdR]

@sdetweil

I have 2 in there after “DISPLAY”… do I need to change both?

#!/bin/bash
cd /home/simon/MagicMirror

if [ $(ps -ef | grep -v grep | grep -i -e xway -e labwc | wc -l) -ne 0 ]; then

if WAYLAND_DISPLAYis set, use it, else set to -0

export WAYLAND_DISPLAY=${WAYLAND_DISPLAY:=wayland-0}
npm run start:wayland
else
DISPLAY=:0 npm start
fi

#DISPLAY=:0 npm start

[sdetweil]

@SdR said:

DISPLAY=:0 npm start <----- change this one
fi

#DISPLAY=:0 npm start <— this one is commented out (#)

[SdR]

@sdetweil
made the change and restarted MM but same result, is there a log can can show you after the restart?
