<![CDATA[Wheather/ Wunderground not loading]]>Hi guys,
after a while of operation (https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/6101/my-1st-mm-project-as-a-noob-1-2m-x-0-6m-with-22-display?page=1) my wheather is not loading anymore on my mirror.
Sometimes I had to rebbot the mirror several times to get it started - now the wheater module is not loading anymore? Any hints for a noob to check?
Config:
{

module: ‘MMM-WunderGround’,

position: ‘top_right’,

config: {

apikey: ‘xxxxxxxxxxxx’,
pws: ‘xxxxxxxxxxxxx’,

hourly: ‘1’,

fctext: ‘1’,

fcdaycount: “4”,

fcdaystart: “0”,

hourlyinterval: “3”,

hourlycount: “2”,

alerttime: 10000,

alerttruncatestring: “english:”,

roundTmpDecs: 1,

coloricon: true,

daily:1,

iconset: “colourful”,

UseCardinals: 0,

layout: “horizontal”,

debug: 1,

sysstat: 0

}

With the command npm start dev I see following error:

{
“response”: {
“version”:“0.1”,
“termsofService”:“http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/terms.html”,
“features”: {
}
,
“error”: {
“type”: “invalidkey”
,“description”: “this key is not valid due to exceeding rate plan”
}
}
}

MMM-WunderGround.js:821 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘estimated’ of undefined

Any ideas?
Thanks, Chris

Yes with the new API key you get current weather data and also forecast. However, most variables have changed their name and you have to adjust the code of “MMM-WunderGround.js” and “node_helper.js”.

Examples:

apiBase old: “http://api.wunderground.com/api/”
apiBase new: “https://api.weather.com/”

forecast old: “http://api.wunderground.com/api/yourApiKey/conditions/hourly/forecast10day/astronomy/alerts/lang:DL/q/pws:ISAFENWI13.json”
forecast new: "https://api.weather.com/v3/wx/forecast/daily/5day?postalKey=81657:US&units=e&language=en-US&format=json&apiKey=yourApiKey
"
Variables:

old: wind_mph
new: windspeed

old: relative_humidity
new: relativeHumidity

The effort to rewrite the existing code is very large, unfortunately I’m not a programmer :(

May be missing the mark here, but what I’m seeing is if you had a key w/weatherunderground, it’s definitely gone. However, generating keys seems to still be an option. Perhaps I’m grandfathered in.

Mine isn’t loading either. With newly (longer) generated api key from WU api-key form, there’s documentation showing weather.com returning content. New URL and json below. I’ll try to see about adjusting code to handle new response. I’m new to this module and may not have time for a few days. Hope this helps and if someone could verify that’d be especially helpful.

The migration was super easy.

Format and display looks very similar. I have been using it for a few weeks and I am very happy with it. API keys for DarkSky are free for up to 1000 calls a day. So if you refresh the weather every 15 mins, thats only 96 calls a day.

You can also use the darksky api with NOAA3. I find this to be very accurate for my location

https://github.com/cowboysdude/MMM-NOAA3

It has several options for placing API (weatherdata). So if one closes - i can switch to the next if needed…

I installed it today so i cannot say if the data (from weatherbit.io in my case) is reliable…

Does anyone have suggestions on the next best alternative? I feel like weather underground was relatively accurate, unlike some of the other options out there.

Heres the official statement (from: https://feedback.weather.com/customer/en/portal/articles/2970681-my-weather-underground-api-key-has-been-disabled-why-?b_id=17298)

***My Weather Underground API key has been disabled. Why?

The Weather Underground’s API has been retired. Keys have been closed down on a rolling basis since February 15, 2019. It will close down completely shortly. Information about this has been available through the API itself and online for nearly a year.

If you are a contracted, paying customer and feel you have been shut off in error, please click the blue ‘email us’ button below.

If you would like to explore paid plans on The Weather Company’s enterprise-grade API, please follow this link and fill out the form on that page.

At this time we do not anticipate offering free, ongoing “developer” level keys to The Weather Company’s API.

Thank you for your support of the Weather Underground API.***

Alternatives?

Hope it works out…

I was happy to have my mirrior confugured as it is… ;-)

Note that free keys no longer exist.

Old ones still work for a while I think

Do I have to install a new weather module or is Wunderground working with another API key?

,“description”: “this key is not valid due to exceeding rate plan”

there it is…

looking thru google for that error, it is common, but then key becomes disabled… sounds like permanently…
only a new key will work…

“I have seen in forums that when the usage exceeds limit the key will be disabled”

looks like the modules doesn’t handle the error
