@Aurelsam

You’re not giving a lot of information here. Have you followed the instructions in the README?

[Aurelsam]

Yes i have read everything, i have written the same information as for the current wheater module. But nothing appears…

This works for me. Check your appid.

{
	module: "weatherforecast",
	position: "top_right",
	header: "Saint-Germain-les-Corbeil,France",
	config: {
		location: "",
		locationID: "2979752", //ID from http://www.openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
		appid: "ea0222cc89779d1aXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
		maxNumberOfDays: "4"
	  }

},

@Mykle1
My appid is good because it works with the current weather.
There are no other solutions?
Thx Mykle1

@Aurelsam

Copy and paste my config entry above into your config and DOUBLE CHECK your appid. That entry is working.

EDIT! Working under MM 2.1.1

I have the same problem, even after deep investigations.

I can get current weather calling this :
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I can get forecast weather with 3h timepoints using
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

BUT i cannot use daily forecast which is used by MM
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast/daily?q=paris&units=metric&APPID=cbbxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
it returns : {“cod”:401, “message”: “Invalid API key. Please see http://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info.”}

it appears that daily forecast is not free (anymore ?) regarding openweather website.

Maybe it is a problem related to location ? I see that I actualy live just a few kilometers away from Aurelsam (Saint-Germain-les-Corbeil, France)

You can temporarly get around the problem by using 3h steps forecast (2nd link of my previous post) instead of daily, and by adding this to the weatherforecast.js :

in function processWeather,
after line var forecast = data.list[i];

add:

if (forecast.dt_txt.split(" ")[1] != “00:00:00”) continue;

(in config)
maxNumberOfDays parameter now counts timepoints (each 3h) and not days:
maxNumberOfDays: 4 // means 4 forecast points: 0h, 3h, 6h, 9h
maxNumberOfDays: 8 // means 8 timepoints of 3h = 24h = 1 day
maxNumberOfDays: 40 // means 40 timepoints of 3h = 120h = 5 days

You should also remove parameter check in the same script weatherforecast.js, which allow maximum 16 (for 16 days). it should be set to maximum 128 (timepoints) for 16 days.

example:
params += “&cnt=” + (((this.config.maxNumberOfDays < 1) || (this.config.maxNumberOfDays > 128)) ? 40 : this.config.maxNumberOfDays);

I don’t know what to tell you. That entry is working.

Reply to myself! LOL

An oversight on my part. I was testing that in MM 2.1.1 and it WAS working. I just moved to MM 2.1.2 and it does NOT
