presuming that would be a working one.

You presume incorrectly. That is an example. You need to go to openweathermap.org and sign up for your own API key. Get your locationID there at the same time. Enter those into your config

@Mykle1 ok thanks going there as we speak

So. now your config entry should look like this:

{
	module: "currentweather",
	position: "top_right",
	config: {
		location: "", // This can be empty. Leave it as is
		locationID: "2639577",  // inside the quotes
		appid: "YOUR API KEY GOES HERE",  // inside the quotes
	}
},

@Mykle1 thanks you’ve a fantastic help. I’m trying it now but If I’m unable to do something like this. I don’t know how I’m going to be able to move forward, well I will just keep trying.

Good attitude. You’ll get it.

@Mykle1 well I’ve done all you said, entered the locationID and put in the API KEY an it looks exactly like your code. I went to save it and the screen on my main screen where the mirror displayed the time, date and more just went blank.

@IDCreate

post any errors from your terminal

IDCreate

@Mykle1 you mean post the code from config.js?

No, but you can post that too. I mean copy and paste the output from your terminal window after you’ve tried to run the mirror

@Mykle1 ok I just thought it was a case of save the config.js and it would come up.
I’ll do that now
