Sorry it took so long to reply back. I’ve been kinda busy
I finally had time to upgrade MMM-GmailFeed
everything went fine and is running perfectly :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes:

Thank you everyone for your help :thumbs_up:

@sdetweil in your Google settings and click security
you will see in their

• Go to your “Manage your Google Account” screen.
• Select the “Security” link on the left side.
• Scroll down to find “App Passwords” and select it.
• In the “select app” pull down, pick Mail.
• In the “select device” pull down, pick Other. Name it what ever you want. I called mine “MagicMirror”
• Click “Generate”. That sequence of characters is the “Password” value you should use.

@sdetweil I’m glad to see that this site response to bullying.
Bullying is unacceptable and they need to be accountable for it

@sdetweil thank you
I actually did the long way
144÷15 gave me 96

@sdetweil sorry I didn’t see your post until just now

@NSpr this is true I’m running mine on the Linux operating system

@sdetweil hey thanks a lot. I appreciate that
I will definitely check it out
I kind of made my own. It’s very basic but seems to do the trick
it is menu-driven so I can choose which modules I want to backup or restore
I’m fairly new at writing scripts. They are a lot of fun

@sdetweil sorry it’s been so long since I replied to this form.
So I wanted to just let you know I did make my own backup and restore scripts.
The backup is pretty simple. It just makes a copy of my modules folder and stores it in a safe place.

The restore is a little bit different. It will restore the module folder to its original location and then use npm install in each folder.
It worked perfectly

I tested it Under virtual disk. I install magic. Mayor the traditional way and then use my restore program and it worked perfectly.

I wanted to thank you for all your help and your ideas

@sdetweil I understand that now, but I already made it
and it works perfectly. in the future I will have 2 choices now

The reason I was looking for something like this. I want to generate a separate mirror for testing. That way if it crashes I won’t have to worry about it because all files and folders will be separated from the 2nd mirror folder
the 2 separate magic mirrors will work perfectly for me. I will definitely consider your 2nd option. In the future

@sdetweil
I just thought I’d throw it out there in case someone else runs into the same problem

@wishmaster270
so I found out what was going on with the calls being counted when my magic mirror wasn’t even up and running

so here’s what I found out
I have MMM-OpenWeatherForecast checking the temperature in two time zones
and one of the time zone I have set requestDelay: 250
this was done before the upgrade to 3.0 call abb
since then I have deleted one of the time zones
but forgot to delete requestDelay: 250 an error in my part

it turns out that the One Call API 3.0 was counting all the calls in that 250
in version 2.5 we didn’t have to worry about that

@wishmaster270
I totally agree with everything you said I do have two keys but I only use one
the only thing I can think of is maybe the 20 calls are a carryover from the previous day that’s the only thing I can think of
I shut down my mirror around 7 o’clock at night

and when I started up in the morning around 8 o’clock in the morning I would think there would only be one call
but when I looked it said there were 20
so like I said maybe it’s a carryover from the previous day

so tomorrow morning I’m going to conduct a test
I will check the website first to see if there any calls there before I start my mirror

if you want I will let you know

@MarcLandis yes I get that and I totally understand that

but that’s not my question maybe it can’t be answered
my magic mirror is on a computer when I boot the computer up in the morning it will automatically start magic mirror usually the first thing it checks is the weather
if I turn the computer off there should be no more calls to the weather app

so my original question would be if I turn my computer on first thing in the morning and I go to the weather app why does it say I already have 20 calls that’s my real question

@MarcLandis sorry for the misunderstanding there
when I activate my mirror and it checks the weather

@sdetweil I have it set for 15 minutes

@wishmaster270 yes I have mine set for 15
but that doesn’t explain why when I turn it on for the first time in the morning they already have 20 calls I don’t get that

So after getting everything set up with the new version 3.0 at openweathermap.org
I turned on my mirror for the first time this morning and it displayed the weather
and so I went to openweathermap.org just to check how many calls I made it already had me down for 20 calls
am I missing something here
