Well, I’ve spent the last couple of evenings trying to build something for you. You can download it here.

Give it a try and let me know how it does for you.

I will test it today.

Cool. It should work fine! Hurry up and try it, I made it for you :laughing:

More information about it is here - I posted it for everyone to download.

some errors with nom install

pi@raspberrypi:~/MagicMirror/modules/default/MMM-HTTPRequestDisplay $ npm install

You shouldn’t need to run 'npm install' inside the module folder unless the author specifically told you to do that.

acdacd2

I did that,

Now it’s solved, I copied the .json in the right folder

Eunanibus

Awesome. @KirAsh4 is correct - The README has all the instructions so be sure to take a look.

Please let me know how it works cause you’ll be the first person to use it

KirAsh4

As a further explanation, 'npm install' is only required if the module you are installing requires other node modules to also be installed. When you first install MagicMirror you have to run 'npm install' to install all the dependencies for it to work, however generally, modules don’t need that. The exception is if someone writes a module that requires another node module that isn’t already installed. So there was no need to run that, nor to copy any '.json' package files anywhere.

acdacd2

is that correct ?

{
		module: 'MMM-HTTPRequestDisplay',
		position: 'bottom_bar',	// This can be any of the regions. Best results in left or right regions.
		header: 'MMM-HTTPRequestDisplay', // This is optional
		config: {
			accessToken: 'http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=London,uk&mode=xml',
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
		}
	},

Sorry, I made a lot of mistakes on the README it seems.

Instead of

accessToken : "http://etc"

use

httpRequestURL: "http://etc"

apologies
