Weather info not showing up on screen

[mar4pack]

Total newbie to this. I have everything up and running, but for some reason my current weather and weather forecast will not show up on my screen. I have my location id entered in, and my API key also entered into the config file. I have read other forums on the topic, but still cannot get the info to show on my screen. Any help would be appreciated.

That’s usually a config issue. Post your config (without API key) here so we can take a look at it. I’m assuming your other modules work eg. clock?

Yes clock works and other modules load. Oddly enough I was able to get the weather underground module working.

@mar4pack Do note, that the API used for the default weather modules are not foolproof, It usually takes time for the API-key to get valid and sometimes it will just stop sending data for your location. This will happen from time to time (as I have noticed) and this has nothing to do with the MagicMirror, the config or the modules, it’s just a lack of data from the service provider.

In my cases it usually works again in a 24H time period. (it has happen twice in 7 weeks)

I think @broberg may be right, unless you entered your API key incorrectly. As a test, I entered your location: "Midwest City, OK", and your locationID: "4542765", into my weatherforecast, using my appid: and it loaded right up without a hitch.

[mar4pack]

Still cannot get it to work. I created another appid and that does not work either. Entered both id’s in correctly and it wont load. Any other suggestions?

Even removing the header option altogether still worked for me. Below you see the location: empty and it still works.

{
			disabled: false,
			module: "weatherforecast",
			position: "top_right",
			header: "Weather Forecast",
			config: {
				location: "",
				locationID: "4542765",  //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
				appid: "MY API KEY"
			}
		},

Did you do an automatic install?
Manual install?
Upgrade from 2.1.0?

[mar4pack]

Automatic install. Following one of the guides on here where you end up removing unnecessary programs and cleaning up the pi a little bit.

@mar4pack

Yes, this one I assume.
