Sam, I’m trying to get to the point where I can copy/paste the config where you can take a look at it. It’s been 45 years since I looked at Unix, never Linux.
IP Config from the OS prompt on the Pi yields -
“Link/loopback 'all zeros…”
“inet 127.0.0.0/8 scope host lo”
NOT a valid IP address, it should be in the range of 192.168. x.x
hostname command from the Pi gives “rutspi” which is the hostname I assigned as it was building.
BKeyport, thanks for the hint! I have worn out the config docs reading 'em. No matter what I do I can’t past the “401 unauthorized” when MM tries to load the weather data. I get a partial diplay of the weather stuff. Sam has been more that patient with me and I’d hate to wear out my welcome here.
Does anyone know how to get the Pi back to the start? I feel like I’m not going to make real progress until I can use the IP address to SSH into the Pi so I can copy the config file here so it can be seen. I didn’t make a note of it when I ‘built’ the Pi.
Sam, OK the sample file has been renamed to just config.js. When running the new config with ‘npm start dev’ the weather section now says 'loading on both lines (current & forecast) and it still has two entries with "401 unauthorized). Also, error with “could not load data” on two lines. Should I add my API ID to both sections of the config or?
Sam, no joy on either suggestion. Would it be worth it to start the MM install over again. I couldn’t ‘remark’ out the lines, just caused an error with the config file.
I bought the Rasberry Pi with a pre-populated SIM. Not how to get it in virgin state.
Sam, since I’m not making any progress on the weather module I’m going to remark all the lines out for now and move on to other modules.
Sam, beating head against rock… local host didn’t work. I was able to resolve an IP address, but it appeared to be a v6 that would.t work with ssh. I don’t know the next step.
Sam, the username seems to be OK, but the hostame doesn’t resolve. Even though it shows in preference. Am I missing something
Sam, I know the name assigned to the rasberry. I now know the password as I have changed it. SSH is not resolving the hostname. So, what is the proper way to populate the following-
ssh {what goes here}@{what goes here}
Example: ssh {{hostname} @ {password} ???
Sam, I remember the name I gave to the Pi, but unfortunately not the password. Is there a way to find it?
Sam, this was from one source (above that you pasted). Mo config with the weather data is above that and includes the items I mentioned. BTW, I keyed it separately as I am unable to paste from the Rasberry Pi to my windows PC.
Sam, here tis. I just noticed the string symbol ($) and the brackets ({}) in the apiKey. I found that in the instructions in MM. I didn’t try the config without them…
module: “weather”,
units: “imperial”,
windUnits: “imperial”,
tenpUnits: “imperial”,
position: 'top right",
config: {
apiVersion: “3.0”,
weatherProvider: “openweather”,
weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”,
lat: “33.50872”,
lon: “-96.612213”,
type: “current”,
location: “Houston”,
locationID: 4699066",
apiKey: “${xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}”,
}
},
{
module: “weather”,
units: “imperial”,
windUnits: “imperial”,
tenpUnits: “imperial”,
position: 'top right",
config: {
apiVersion: “3.0”,
weatherProvider: “openweather”,
weatherEndpoint: “/onecall”,
lat: “33.50872”,
lon:" -96.612213",

A lillte ray of sunshine… It 'apears" to be talking with operweather now since the MM display shows-
(wind symbol) 0 north INVALID DATE
NaN (degrees)
Feels like 32.0 degrees
I’m still getting 401 Unauthorized failed to load resource file. And getting other Cannot Read errors from openweather when using DEV option while running MM
Guys,
It’s obvious that I am not specifying the correct item or leaving something out. It’s difficult because noe of the examples I’ve see "lay out’ the complete line of the config only some parts. I’ve played with different items changing them aroud and I get different reports from running in dev of either “401 no authorized” to “404 not found” on the string sent to weathermap. I am using the following-
apiVersion: “3.0”
location: “Houston”
locationID: “4699066”
apiKey: “xxx” a 32 digit hexadecimal received after registering.
I am not using the Lat or Lon at this time
Sam, I don’t know why the picture is not copied, I suspect it is over-sized. Dev yield
The first 12 s the following error message:
Failed to load resource: the api.openweatherapp.0…c6acaacfb123ce212:1 server responded with a status of 401 (unauthorized)
(twice)
Could not locate data …TypeError: Cannot read openweathermap.is 43 properties of undefined (reading ‘humidity’)
…then as time increases and it tries to update the screen more specific error messages occur
Thye first 12 characters of my api id are truncated in the first error message text above
Phone picture of the Config.js file. The picture has a jpg extension.
Sam, I get an error when trying to copy the file. Does it need to have a particular extension?
Sam, as a last resort (operating from 2 computers) I attemped to take a picture with my phone and copy that here. No luck. I hear you about working from my PC on the pi, but beyond my experience level. I could try and copy to another place or system?
Sam , After adding the commas to the end of the version Iine I ran it with the check on the config file- All OK. I ran MM in Dev mode and now am getting a 401 error when it attempts to load the openweather resource files. So I seem to not be passing the version or ID string>
Sam, that’s where I put it. I can’t cut and paste here because I’m on a different computer than the Pi.
Sam, I seem to be deeper in the weeds. After adding the apiVersion:3.0 parameter just below the config identifier in the config file -
running dev displays the following error-
Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'weather identifie ‘weatherProvider’
and the config file blows up.
Do I need to add this on some other line?
