I actually managed to figure it out. The problem was in the configs for the individual modules. They were set for ´config.js´ instead of ´config.units´ and ´congif.timeFormat´. Once I changed those it worked out.

Thanks for the help though!

If you edit your config file and change the three lines at the top to look like this then you should be good. CurrentWeather and Clock by default use the settings in your config file.
Otherwise please post your config.js completely. Please enclose the content with back ticks `(this one).
