      Hi,
      I can get my MM to show me wind speed in KMPH.
      I is also not showing rain.
      What do I do wrong?
      Thanks for the help!

        @carlderdritte said in Can"t get wind speed shown in KMPH why?:

        Remove the quotes from true

         useKMPHWind: true,
         roundTemp: true,
         showRainAmount: true,
         degreeLabel: true
        

        Create a working config

            Sry, if this thread is too old to answer but I had the same question and had problems to find a solution for this. But it seems like I have one.

            In my config I only set useKMPHwind to true and that didn’t work but after I also changed the useBeaufort from its default true value to false it seems to work.

            At this moment openweathermap shows 1,5m/s and magicmirror shows 5 as windspeed. 1,5m/s are actually 5,4km/h so I think its an rounded value.

              I’ll have to dig up this old thread again. I too do not get the wind speed displayed in km/h.

              My config says:

              	{
              			module: "currentweather",
              			position: "top_right",	
              			config: {
              				location: "Berlin, DE",
              				locationID: "2950159", //Location ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz
              				appid: "***MYKEY***", //openweathermap.org API key.
              				useBeaufort: false,
              				useKMPHWind: true
              			}
              		},

                Hi @MajorC,

                without using this module, I saw you wrote

                seBeaufort: false, instead of
                useBeaufort: false,

                May be that is the reason.

                    Re: Can"t get wind speed shown in KMPH why?

                    Turns out the variable (useKMPHWind) in your “config.js” should be with a lowercase w for useKMPHwind.

                    		{
                    			module: "currentweather",
                    			position: "top_right",
                    			config: {
                    				location: "Zaandam",
                    				locationID: "2744118", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
                    				appid: "12345678901234567890",
                    				roundTemp: true,
                    				useBeaufort: false,
                    				useKMPHwind: true,
                    			}
                    		},

                      Thank you @MaXi-XCeL that was the problem. Case sensitive variables? Come on… :-(

                      And you need the useBeaufort: false to have it work.

                      useBeaufort: false,
                      useKMPHwind: true,
                      

                      Thank you again, on step closer.
