Changing icons of the modules Current Weather and Weather Forecast

@sdetweil I found, you have to set this setting to “0”, otherwise it reloads every 30 seconds

NextURLInterval: 0,

@sdetweil Hello Sam, I still need your help, I saw KristjanESPERANTO’s module: MMM-OneCallWeather which I really like, so I installed this module I copied his example from js.config which I have completed with my elements longitude, latitude apy key, I tested my api key on the internet in version 2.5 and it works, so I changed the version in MMM-OneCallWeather.js, as Kristjan explains in the github, and when I restart the MM it notifies loading and nothing happens, I tried to understand, but I’m stuck, so I call a specialist :-)

-OneCall

OneCall requires the v3 key and api as I understand it…

[Manu85]

@sdetweil In detail he says this:
(apiVersion The OpenWeatherMap API version to use. Change it to “2.5” if you have an old apikey

Default value: 3.0)
I understood that if we had an old version then we had to change this parameter but I may have misinterpreted

[Manu85]

@sdetweil when I connect to an internet page it gives me this, so I think it’s active, I entered lat, long and api key

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 as far as I can tell, the one call API with keys since mid 2023 is only available via the v3.0 apikey setting

[Manu85]

@sdetweil So it pays?

[Manu85]

@sdetweil on my weather module I have an api key 2.5, I don’t know if that’s it but I have the impression that the weather data is wrong. Do you know of a weather module for the MM with current and forecast that would be graphically nice and free? because if to have version 3.0 you have to pay that doesn’t interest me, thank you for your help

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 in the console (where u start magicmirror, npm start )

you might see

[23.01.2024 12:12.22.384] [LOG]   [MMM-OneCallWeather] 23-Jan-24 12:12 ** ERROR ** Error: Unauthorized

if you are using the wrong api key

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 the page says v3 api, and 1000 calls per day free

[Manu85]

@sdetweil Yes I went to this page, but then they ask you for your bank card!!!

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes, they will charge you IF you go over the 1000/day… nothing is free anymore… you MUST provide a valid card, or the api key is not functional

[Manu85]

@sdetweil Thank you for your answer and you are right everything is charged today, fortunately there are still sites and people like you to share for FREE what they know

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 yes, but I don’t generate any pretty user interfaces!! no icons or graphs…lol

[Manu85]

@sdetweil Yes but it’s thanks to people like you that there is still communication without banking intermediary to build projects… I would therefore stay with my version 2.5 which is free while waiting for a developer to find a solution:- ) what bothers me is that the weather forecast with pretty icons etc. there are some on smartphones, cars, television, internet etc. and all this is free, as soon as you want to do something different you have to PAY :-(

version 2.5 which is free while waiting for a developer to find a solution:- )

the problem is that the provider (openweathermap), is only providing v3 api keys now for the OneCall api used by the module.

SO… there is nothing the developer can do to get around that.

openweathermap is no longer issuing 2.5 api keys

@sdetweil I found a post from March 2023 where we talk about you on the same subject 😉

[sdetweil]

@manu85340 yes, this module is already using all that

    apiVersion: "3.0",

 `https://api.openweathermap.org/data/${config.apiVersion}/onecall` +

[Manu85]

@sdetweil I subscribed to onecall and I just tested this morning and I still have the same “loading” thing, in my config.js I put the following things:

{
module: "MMM-OneCallWeather",
     position: "top_right", // This can be any of the regions.
     // Best results in bottom_bar region due to horizontal default layout and icon sizes.
     config: {
       // See 'Configuration options' for more information.
       latitude: "46.561180", // Longitude from https://www.latlong.net/
       longitude: "-1.782440", // Longitude from https://www.latlong.net/ - is West + is East of London
       apikey: "MY NEW API KEY V3.0" // openweathermap.org API key.
     }
   },

in MMM-OneCallWeather.js I have this:
letdata;

Module.register("MMM-OneCallWeather", {
   // Default module config.
   defaults: {
     latitude: true,
     longitude: true,
     apikey: "",
     apiVersion: "3.0",
     units: config.units,
     layout: "vertical", // default
     showRainAmount: false,
     showWind: true,
     showWindDirection: true,
     showFeelsLike: true,
     tempUnits: "c",
     windunits: "mph",
     useBeaufortInCurrent: false,

     initialLoadDelay: 2500, // 2.5 seconds delay. This delay is used to keep the OpenWeather API happy.
     updateInterval: 10 * 60 * 1000, // every 10 minutes
     animationSpeed: 1000,
     updateFadeSpeed: 500,
     lang:config.language,
     language: config.language,
     requestDelay: 0,

I haven’t touched anything else, can you help me please?

[sdetweil]

@Manu85 show me the output of npm start

if you use pm2 to launch, then

pm2 logs --lines=50
