@mmmallday – I already have a ver 3.0 API key, so if that is what you are referencing it’s covered.
Query: When you say “It’s not there…”, what “it” are you referencing? If you mean the weather in general, it’s definitely there - pulled from openweathermap and displayed on two different modules. I see it on my Magic Mirror as we speak on the default weather module and on MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast.
I’m asking specifically about the alert information that gets delivered along with current conditions, forecasts, etc. This module [MMM-WeatherAlerts] should pull the weather data from openweathermap and display when [and only when] there is an active alert for the designated location. That is what is not happening… [FWIW, AFAIK other modules should also display alerts, e.g: MMM-OpenWeathermapForecast.]
I just now confirmed that openweathermap is actually sending the data. My location had a warning but it just expired, so I used my API key and queried them for a location the National Weather Service says is under a tornado warning.
Testing this is relatively straightforward. Go to the NWS alerts page to find a location with a current alert: https://alerts.weather.gov/search?region_type=land
Once you have a candidate location get the lat + lon from Google Maps, then use that and your API key to get the data in the browser, e.g.: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/3.0/onecall?lat=35.0194&lon=-97.3709&exclude=minutely&units=metric&lang=en&APPID=123456789123456789
Following is a snippet of the data retrieved (it’s at the very bottom of the page):

So my question remains - why is it that the National Weather Service is creating alerts, onerweathermap is collecting and delivering the alerts, but the alerts aren’t being processed by our modules?
