    • RE: Modifying the Config File

      Sam, why is it always the simple things :-)
      I found a simple link that allowed me to test the openweather api link:
      http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/forecast?id=524901&appid={API Key}
      I saw the 2.5 and changed it to 3.0 and got a 401 error. I changed it back to 2.5 and it worked. I tried commenting out the 3.0 & /onecall items in config.js and got a “config.js not found” error when running MM. I had used (/*) in the leftmost column as a ‘ignore line’ comment. So, I deleted the 4 lines from config.js and it worked fine except for a teensy error “displaying Howe instead of Houston” in the display. I have no idea where that came from. I wonder why the fourth largest city in the US isn’t listed in the pull-down menu?

      Now, I’m going to see if I can add additional modules.
      Thanks for your very patient help!!

    • RE: On Screen Update Prompts Don't Go Away

      Sam, I hate to start another endless series of these updates. I feel utterly beyond my depth when I try to complete your suggestions.

      Is it possible for you to use crayons and draw me a picture? :-) Or is there a Magic Mirror for Dummies out there somewhere.
      I hate wasting someones time when I don’t know which room to find a clue. Jimb

    • On Screen Update Prompts Don't Go Away

      Re: Magic Mirror Update process
      Minor housekeeping issue: I have received update messages in the past, completed the update process without errors and the on screen message went away,

      When I perform the update process now, it seens to complete without errors, but the message is still there.

      Does this indicate there is another update pending or is its failure to clear a problem?

      Sam, moving on as I want to build the actual frame for the Magic Mirror and not spend this amount of time on the code which is difficult to understand. Not your fault, but mine. :-)

      Sam, all is working OK again. Thanks! FYI, my capitalizations were for emphasis only, not copied or used.

      Now, real dumb question "How is “MMM-Config” invoked?

    • RE: Modifying the Config File

      Sam, Guess who? I got the Config.js straightened out and MM was starting fine. This was with the MMM-Config text added to the file.

      The I attempted to follow the steps to add the module code to the module sub-folder.

      1. Clicked on the green button in your instructions and pasted the link into the terminal prefaced by ‘git clone’. It ‘cloned’ into the modules directory without errors.
      2. I ran ‘MPM install’ and it executed without errors
      3. From the terminal I started MM, by executing NPM Start.
      4. It started loading, but had errors then stopped.
      5. I was unable to copy text of the loading (w/errors) because the terminal times out.

    • RE: Modifying the Config File

      Sam, I read your comments, thanks! I have git-cloned the files into the modules sub-directory. I modified the config.js to include the lines of code you listed. Somehow I’ve blown up the file. Running in dev mode it says “unexpected (:)” is in line 58. I’ve gone over the code and don’t see the issue. Here is my config file-

    • RE: Modifying the Config File

      Sam, sorry to be so dense. You mention the ‘git clone’ command. Is that how ‘all’ your files are moved into the MagicMirror/Moddules directory? I’ll hunt around for the proper usage. It’s a little confusing using commands from the computer though. Please keep im mind this is all new to me, thanks

    • RE: Modifying the Config File

      Sam, into the weeds once again :-)

      I read the readme and comments on your MMM-Config module. I was stumped immediately by your comment: “clone this repo” into the config directory. I’m assuming this this is done via WinSCP remotely into the Pi, but have no clue. Some more Linux…
