Hello. I too am a Noob. Here is what I entered into my config.ps file,
which is located in the ~/MagicMirror/config directory:
{
module: "weather",
units: "imperial",
windUnits: "imperial",
tempUnits: "imperial",
position: "top_right",
header: "Weather Forecast",
config: {
weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
type: "forecast",
units: "imperial",
windUnits: "imperial",
tempUnits: "imperial",
location: "Your-City",
locationID: "Your-Location-ID", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
apiKey: "Your-Newly-Created-apiKey"
}
},
As sdetweil stated, you have to download the file: http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz, unzip it and search for the city closest to your location. This will give you the values for location: and locationID: ( “Your-City” and “Your-Location-ID” ).
I found that searching for the 2-letter state value allowed me to find my location quicker.
Then, you need to create a free account at https://openweathermap.org/ to obtain the apiKey that will be automatically created with your new account.
BTW, the “imperial” values result in Fahrenheit and MPH values. You can change the values or delete those lines if you want Metric values as that is the module’s default.
Take care.
