Ok, before i go to sleep i had to do this.
I added a credit card on openweather and subscribed for the plan.
created a new api, and added it to the owmf module config file.

restarted mm, and navigated to the log file, and i see this…

Sounds good, its getting very late here in Houston, I will check this in the morning, add a credit card on file with OpenWeather and subscribe to a v3.0 api, make the changes accordingly and let u know in the morning. Thanks again for helping me out with this.

@sdetweil
So do i need to sign up for a paid API using a credit card? Or do u think there is an inconsistency with my MMM-OWMF module? I have made the changes to the node_helper.js file just as you suggested and restarted MM, still no avail.

@sdetweil
hello and good evening again. No i do not have a credit card on file with Openweathermap. Its a free tier.
Also, may i request you to guide me where to find the output file? I have mm on auto start while rebooting

@sdetweil
Also wanted to let you know I am using one openweather api for a different module in mm and thats working fine, only this module its not working, the module wont even show up on mm screen.

@sdetweil

Did a git pull no, luck.

@sdetweil
Thanks for your replies. I forgot to mention that, before posting this here, i did update the module. Infact to be on the safe side i renamed the folder MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast to preserve it as a backup, and then used git clone to download the new module and ran npm install from within the MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast folder.

I’m having trouble getting the MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast module to work. It was functioning fine until a few months ago when OpenWeather switched to API v3.0. I generated a new API key for v3.0, removed the old v2.5 key from the MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast section of my config file, and replaced it with the new key. However, the module still isn’t working. Below is a snippet of my code.

{
  module: "MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast",
  header: "Weather",
  position: "top_right",
  classes: "default everyone",
  disabled: false,
  config: {
    apikey: "v3.0 api",
    latitude: "29.714670",
    longitude: "-95.836860",
    iconset: "5c",
    units: "imperial",
    concise: true,
    forecastLayout: "tiled",
    showExtraCurrentConditions: true,
    showForecastTableColumnHeaderIcons: true,
    showSummary: false,
    showWind: true,
    hourlyForecastInterval: "1",
    forecastHeaderText: false,
    showPrecipitation: true,
    showCurrentConditions: false,
    maxDailiesToShow: 5,
    maxHourliesToShow: 4
  }
},

Sorry to hijack this post. I can create a new one if needed. I’ve been using the “MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast” module for a while, but for the past few weeks, it hasn’t been showing up on my MM. I’ve rebooted MM several times and made sure the module is up to date, but no luck.

Each time i reboot, or when MM starts the browser does not fully open in full screen mode, but will shift to one side.
Have a look at the screenshot through VNC viewer.

This is intermittent, sometimes it will show up in full screen but most times it will show up shifted.

Where are u hiding your RPI?

Ah ok, i dont think the user with the screenshot i posted above is paying 40 dollars a month to show 5 icons in a line in the dashboard, this has more to do with CSS rather than the config within the module itself

@swvalenti
Did’nt know there is a paid module… what module is paid… can you please enlighten, i dont mind paying.

@swvalenti
Thanks for your replies, which module are you talking about? Weather Module? I dont see any other option within weathers module to add more icon’s per line. Checked their github page… or is it another module of the MM?

A lot of you have great looking dashboards, I love your dedication in how you set them up. I have been able to create my MM dashboard and add few modules, there are a few things i have no clue about how to go about it.
Here in one of the dashboard a user had posted, has more days/icons in his weather dashboard, the default is 3 icons per line, thats what i have. I presume you are able to resize your module and add more items per line.

Example see below.

You see how the user has 5 days worth if icons on his dashboard in the weather module, and all the other modules the items displayed are much better organized.
The default modules i have has only 3 icons, and are larger size fonts and icons etc.

How can i achieve similar results as above?

@sdetweil Thank you. I have Home Assistant in place, the only gripe is that I wont have enough space between the mm frame and the outlet to shove another smart outlet. I guess i will need to replace the single gang smart outlet.

@bkeyport said in Auto power on and off:

If you wanna go down that path, there’s MMM-Remote-Control, too.

I was looking at the option of turning off the monitor instead the rpi.
I have the MMM-Remote-Control installed, but i dont see a way to turn off the monitor automatically, there’s an option to turn on and off the monitor and it works well, but how do i automate it?

@sdetweil
GOsh thanks that worked.
Any idea about the wallpaper part? I would like to inculcate flickr group, but the code snippet wont work.

Thank you for your help. I have successfully managed to add quite a bit of useful modules as per my requirements, and have added styling to the fonts etc.
However there are two things I am unable to get around.
First is the wallpaper module.
If i use the default bing option for the source, it wont show more than 10 wallpapers, i have tried to change the “maximumEntries” to 20 or more and it still wont show more than the original 10 wallpapers it loaded the first day (3 days back). Then i tried to change the source to Flickr groups, and it wont show anything now. Please have a look at my code snippet below.

                {
                        module: "MMM-Wallpaper",
                        position: "fullscreen_below",
                        config: { // See "Configuration options" for more information.
                        source: "flickr-group:113291043@N05",
                        maximumEntries: "20",
                        slideInterval: 60 * 1000 // Change slides every minute
                                }
                }, 

The second item is, i am not able to increase the calendar items, right now it only shows me 5 or 6 items, i am trying to increase it to 10 and it still show the default items.
see below.

                {
                        module: "calendar",
                        header: "Holidays & Reminders",
                        position: "top_left",
                        maximumEntries: "20",
                        config: {
                                calendars: [
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                url: "webcal://www.calendarlabs.com/ical-calendar/ics/76/US_Holidays.ics",
                                                maximumEntries: 20,
                                        },
                                        {
                                                symbol: "calendar-check",
                                                url: "https://calendar.google.com/calendar/ical/lxxxxxxxxx.ics",
                                                maximumEntries: 20
                                        }
                                ]
                        }
                },
