Well dang. I’m doing something wrong here. Whether I use the helper config or the tool above, I get a broken error page.
And I know an error page is expected, but it’s not a long url with a code in it.
It’s like… amazon.com/wpa
and that’s it.
Was the right choice “device with alexa built in” and “no companion app” ? I figure I must have done something wrong on the Amazon developer page, since that’s the part with no guide and it’s working for other people.
@Cr4z33
Oddly that’s not working for me either. Maybe I’m doing something wrong?
What should I be using for the Device ID? I’ve been using the product ID, but maybe that’s wrong.

Trying to finish setup of the module.
I’m in the helper config, and when I get to the point of supplying a return URL I enter:
https://localhost:3000/authresponse
But terminal tells me that’s an invalid URL.I’ve put https://localhost:3000/authresponse as my return URL and https://localhost:3000/ as my authorized URL on the Amazon developer site. What I am I doing wrong here?
Bump on this question, still can’t get past the local url section. Any help would be appreciated.

Ah yeah! That’s totally that problem.
Now if I could just get the rest figured out, I could go with the new module.
I’m having trouble with the new weather module. I don’t want a header above the current forecast (like the old current weather didn’t have), but it’s trying to stick one up there. I’m also seeing an invalid date error. Also, despite listing 7 days for my forecast, I’m only getting 5.
Basically this:
Here’s my weather config:
{
module: 'weather',
position: 'top_right',
config: {
type: 'current',
roundTemp: 'true',
degreeLabel: 'true',
appendLocationNameToHeader: 'false',
weatherProvider: 'weathergov',
apiBase: 'https://api.weather.gov/points/',
weatherEndpoint: '/forecast/hourly',
lat: '39.2689476',
lon: '-84.263826'
}
},
{
module: 'weather',
position: 'top_right',
header: 'Weather Forecast',
config: {
type: 'forecast',
appendLocationNameToHeader: 'true',
fade: 'true',
days: '7',
weatherProvider: 'weathergov',
apiBase: 'https://api.weather.gov/points/',
weatherEndpoint: '/forecast',
lat: 'xx.xxxxx',
lon: '-xx.xxxx'
}
},
(where x’s are my lat and lon)
any help appreciated.
Looks like the recent changes here are the culprit. They already figured out what needs to be changed, fixed in an upcoming update. Pull request is in. Get ready to update your mirrors.
I had an openweather api before they changed the rules. But I’m not sure if they’re starting to lock it down more or what, but the forecast has broken (invalid date error), and nothing seems to fix it (had entries in troubleshooting).
I have have switched to the https://github.com/dmcinnes/MMM-forecast-io
module, and if anything its weather results are more accurate.
But I miss the look of the default modules. The above module has done a fine job, but the defaults are more cohesive.
Considering you can’t get openweather apis anymore, or even weatherunderground apis, anyone want to take a whack at getting the default weather/weather forecast modules to use the dark sky api?
Thanks!
Thanks for the helpful suggestions.
Date and time are correct on my pi, and the mirror even shows the right date and time.
The config did have the missing ’ in current weather, I apparently accidentally deleted it when I was removing personal info. I edited the above to reflect the current status of my config file.
This was working fine before. About the time I updated the mirror to latest version and added the motion detection module. But it didn’t happen immediately after those events. It was a few days later. I did find a logged issue (that was closed) describing the same thing, after updating the mirror.
No luck adding the comma unfortunately.
You mentioned 2 things to try, what was the second?
Thanks for looking at this.
Sure, I can post that. The config checker doesn’t find any issues. Any help appreciated.

Update
This issue is solved in v2.4.1.
https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/7548/v2-4-0-update/2
===Begin original post===
This started happening after updating my MM recently and adding the motion detection module (https://github.com/alexyak/motiondetector), but not sure if either are related.
Every time the mirror starts up (even if I use pm2 to restart, or unplug and full reboot), my weather forecast just shows the words invalid date).
This had been working for well over a year. The only change to config I made was to add the new module. But I ran the config checker and it says I have no syntax errors.
I can see one other person opened this as an issue after updating, but they never provided logs or anything and thus it was closed.
https://github.com/MichMich/MagicMirror/issues/1292
I’ve generated logs starting at a pm2 restart, and I see no issues flagged:

The only editing I did was to take out the calendar URL from the posted log. Anyone else seen this or have any ideas?
Ran into this same issue. From multiple browsers.
I had to refresh as fast as I could and get to the boxes before that darn message blocked me again. Seriously this is an impediment to returning users and needs to be looked at.
@Sean Found a picture on their facebook that I think reveals what they’re doing:
another shot in action
so I think less… fabric and more diode holes?
But then that leaves me wondering… how is the touch part working? Apparently this company has a lot of experience with touch sensors and did some work on the Nintendo Switch.
Love my magic mirror, and many thanks to all the contributors and especially Michael.
But on to the subject. I came accross this fun article:
https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2017/11/9/16614112/nissha-mui-display-smart-home
screenshot:
and I thought alot of it reminded me of a magic mirror, especially those who have been trying to add touch. Especially especially the glass option. The downside is when they do bring this up for sale it’s going to be in the $1000 range.
So… who’s tempted to make one of these with a raspi pi for less??
Ah yeah, unfortunately outlook.com has removed the ability to export calendar for some dumb reason. Seems to have happened after the server changes, and their helpfiles have not been updated.
I fired up Outlook 2016 (the program), loaded up the account and used that to export the calendar.
Closing this. I ended up exporting to a gmail calendar, which instantly worked. My best guess is that Outlook.com is doing something different that the magic mirror code doesn’t account for. A bit of a pain to make the switch, but now it works.
Hello all,
I’m having trouble with my calendar. It was working beautifully for a very long time. But suddenly about a month ago it started randomly posting “no upcoming events” even when there were some.
Sometimes a reboot would solve the issue. Other times it wouldn’t. As time has gone by it’s been harder and harder to get my calendar events to display. It’s almost like it’s looking at a wrong calendar, though I’m not sure how that’s possible.
I saw somewhere else on the forums that switching to webcal seems to help with outlook.com calendars, but that hasn’t seem to have helped.
Any help?
Thanks
Should have updated, closed. I thought of it right after I posted, and yeah that took care of the problem. Thanks!
Just like the preview says. I switched to development branch (an issue I had was supposed to be solved in development) and since then the mirror won’t launch Pm2 start mm leads to a success message, that part seems to be working.
Npm start leads to the following error:
JavaSript error, unchaught exception.
cannot file module 'express.ipfilter'
I tried updating node.js at one point (because I forgot to change directory when I attempted npm start) but haven’t had any other luck otherwise. Anyone else run into this?
