@Mykle1 Just put XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX where your api key goes

There is no error message, it just says there is no helper module. That’s fine, these modules don’t use a helper module.

There was another guy some days ago with the same trouble, but he switched to Wunderground so we were unable to troubleshoot

@trader-dude does that help?give me a sec i will do that

@trader-dude Lets start with locationID: That is usually a 6 digit number obtained from openweathermap.org. e.g 512856. Make sure that is correct. Next, the appid: is just a long sequence of numbers and letters obtained from openweathermap.org. e.g 12345gu3454uddu4u5uu64u3. Make sure you enter this exactly as provided. Do not enter the entire url, just the number itself. You need to do that in both the currentweather and weatherforecast.
