@tippon unfortunately, I have the newer version so location ID is no longer there just coordinate

RE: oneweathermap
So I think I found the problem, but don’t know how to fix it. It’s been off as much as 3 to 4°. According to other reliable weather like local news. when I restart Magic mirror it is now only one degrees off so I’m not quite experienced enough yet, but I think it has something to do with retrieval data or I think they call it, call for data which I sent back to 10 minutes
If I didn’t explain that right. I apologize. I’m still learning

RE: oneweathermap
@tippon okay, that’s an idea. I didn’t think about. I will give it a try and let you know

RE: oneweathermap
@tippon I have actually tried just that When I first installed it and use that exact same number along with the coordinates that onewhethermap suggested but since I upgraded to the newer version. The newer version doesn’t use that anymore. Not to say I can’t add it
I actually change the retrieval time from 10 to 20 so far it seems to be working. I’m getting anywhere between 1° and 2° off which I can accept that even the professionals who give us the weather are sometimes off by 1° and 2° from different stations. So keep your fingers crossed that that will be consistent throughout today.
Thanks for your suggestion though, since I’m new on here. I’m open to any kind of suggestion

RE: oneweathermap
Hello everyone, I thought I give everybody an update.
So I decided to wipe everything out and start over from scratch. I had a lot of fun doing it and learned a lot. Everything seems to be running much better. And all my changes are now in the config file. My email even gets retrieved faster than my phone, How funny is that.
onewhethermap though was doing perfectly with only a 1° and 2° off until it reached 81°. Then everything started going downhill. It is still 86° outside but it is displaying 79 so I don’t know what’s going on.
I change the updateInterval: from 10 to 20 and we’ll see how that works.I also wanted to thank everyone for helping me out . I did not know all changes were supposed to be in the config file only. So once again, thank you for that information.

RE: oneweathermap
@wenike thank you very much for your response.
That’s one thing I have not tried. I will take your recommendation and make all my changes in the config file instead. I have no problem with deleting the program and then reinstalling it is not an issue.I did not know that all changes are supposed to be done in the config file not the main file. I know it now, and I will fix it and let you know

RE: oneweathermap
@cheapdad well, you are correct. I did try doing one minute.
I have also gone as high as 240, which is roughly 4 hours with still the same results for one minute was only an experiment to see what has changed between one minute and 240 and like I said I still get the same results they seem to always be a hit and miss.
I’m new at programming, but I am learning -

RE: oneweathermap

oneweathermap
Hello everyone.
First off I want to let you know I am new to all this and I’m learning a lot from everyone and having a lot of fun doing it.
I recently installed oneweathermap, The newer version where you just use your coordinates as well as your apikey. I did sign up and got my free key, but my problem is is always a hit and miss. Some days it’s very accurate and other days it’s off as much as 4 to 3°. What I have noticed when it gets to 68, It stops working. All other weather stations say it’s in the 70s am I doing something wrong here.the Coordinates that I’m using are Walnut Creek, California 37.9101,-122.0652 , which I got from Google search the original coordinates from oneweathermap showed the same responsefrom:config.js
{ module: "MMM-OpenWeatherForecast", position: "top_right", header: "Forecast", config: { apikey: "Mykey", //only string here latitude: 37.9101, //number works here longitude: -122.0652 //so does a string }
from: MMM-OpenWeatherForecast.js
defaults: { apikey: "", latitude: "", longitude: "", updateInterval: 1, // minutes requestDelay: 0, language: config.language, units: "imperial", displayKmhForWind: false, concise: true, iconset: "3c", colored: true, useAnimatedIcons: true, animateMainIconOnly: true, animatedIconStartDelay: 1000, mainIconSize: 100, forecastIconSize: 70, updateFadeSpeed: 500, showFeelsLikeTemp: false, showSummary: false, showCurrentConditions: true, showExtraCurrentConditions: true, extraCurrentConditions: { highLowTemp: true, precipitation: true, sunrise: true, sunset: true, wind: true, barometricPressure: false, humidity: true, dewPoint: false, uvIndex: true, visibility: false }, forecastHeaderText: "Forecast", forecastLayout: "tiled", showHourlyForecast: false, showHourlyTableHeaderRow: false, hourlyForecastTableHeaderText: "Hourly", hourlyForecastInterval: 3, maxHourliesToShow: 3, hourlyExtras: { precipitation: true, wind: true, barometricPressure: false, humidity: false, dewPoint: false, uvIndex: false, visibility: false }, showDailyForecast: false, showDailyTableHeaderRow: false, dailyForecastTableHeaderText: "Daily", maxDailiesToShow: 3, dailyExtras: { precipitation: true, sunrise: false, sunset: false, wind: true, barometricPressure: false, humidity: false, dewPoint: false, uvIndex: false },
I’m thinking it’s because it’s a free subscription and is limited
Hope you can help
