        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 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.

                    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

                        Yes, save the config, but then restart your MM

                          @Mykle1 Oh wow it’s working! :-) The time in the top right above the weather bit says 7.02am where the actual correct time on the left of the screen is 1.04am. Thanks I’m well pleased, its a start.

                            That is the sunrise time. Notice the little icon that looks like a sunrise next to it. After sunrise you will get the sunset time and a sunset icon

                                @Mykle1 oh right ok haha, in that case I think I’ll call it a night for now and get some sleep. You’ve been an absolutely great help, I hope I’ve not been to much trouble. I’m not sure what time it is there but you certainly deserve a drink. :-)
