@bkeyport and Sam: thanks for the inputs. I went through my logs and the referenced thread, and now do have DynamicWeather working. Much appreciated!

RE: Temperature/humidity on Magic Mirror
@sdetweil Thanks, Sam. I may take a look at that Ecobee API and/or the charting. The Ecobee is currently not in use in my new house, but this may give me the added incentive to get going on that. Thanks again.

RE: Upgrade errors?
@sdetweil - Thanks for the help here and offline. My problem is solved, and for the sake of others following is the resolution.
Problem: MagicMirror install script outputs node.js errors on new RaspbianOS install running under VirtualBox.
Diagnosis [by sdetweil]: “so, the problem is that the intel raspian is a hybrid, x86_64 kernel with a i386 user runtime.
and they stopped making a nodejs for i386 after node 12”Solution: Rebuilt the virtual machine using Ubuntu instead of RaspbianOS. [I’m sure any Debian or other Linux distribution would work just fine…]
Thanks again - I can now use this as a dev machine and spare myself the risks associated with fiddling with the production machine!

RE: The most popular 3rd party modules
Kristian - do the links to the modules listed as numbers 7-10 need some validation? :)

RE: one call api open weather
@sdetweil - Sam, I know you don’t have the answer either. I guess I was partly venting, and partly trying to be complete so that others who are having issues or questions can see that various of you and us have tried to work this through.

RE: one call api open weather
@sdetweil – Hi Sam. I guess maybe my central point got lost in transit - which is I just want[ed] to know from openweathermap.org whether they can tell me if the API key they issued last year (around the time it became apparent ver 2 would be deprecated) is a ver 3 or ver 2 key. FWIW, I did try one final time and explicitly asked only whether they can tell me the version of key I have. They did respond to the email, but did not address the question.
Yes, I’m sure you are correct and it probably is simple from their point of view. However, the issue is that they are [apparently] currently servicing both the old and the new APIs, so from the user’s side it is not possible to do what they and you are suggesting and just see if calling with the old key generates an error.
If I run my MagicMirror and the API that openweathermap.org issued me last year is the old API the module will still work, so there is no diagnostic value there. Yes, I do see that when the point in future time comes that they shut down responding to calls using the ver 2 API and only respond to ver 3 - then all our modules that are calling with ver 2 APis and modules using old endpoints will fail.
My goal was to get ahead of this and avoid having the modules fail, or in the alternative having to replace the API keys in every module in every MagicMIrror where it is used - just in case they issued me a ver 2 API key last year.
Thanks again to you and Krisjan for all the help and support!

RE: one call api open weather
@KristjanESPERANTO - FWIW, openweathermap are not being very helpful in this transition.
I see in my notes the API key I am using is from 2023, but I have no record of what version it is, so I went on their site to see… They don’t specify, either.
I sent them an email requesting how to determine whether the key I have is already compliant, or i I need to start working on applications. The response email just repeated the warnings around them deprecating the old and people’s need to replace ver 2.5 keys with ver 3.0 keys.
I did send a follow-up email asking for a response to my specific question o how to know whether a particular key will work into the future, but received no response.
As such, I am beginning to experiment with my development instance to see what I need to do…

RE: MMM-WeatherAlerts - granularity
@jbat66 - yes, it is frustrating to know or hear that severe weather is nearby, but the module seems incapable of being configured to display alerts as needed.
@Gjones93 - as the author, can you provide any input?

RE: MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast Doesn't display imperial units
@kayakbabe - thanks for letting me know. I will keep an eye on the one I am using and if I see issues, will try the other one.

RE: MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast Doesn't display imperial units
@sdetweil - Ah crap, having both disabled: true AND disabled: false would do it!! :) I’m sure the system would execute the last command. Thanks for putting a second set of eyes on it.

RE: MMM-OpenWeatherMapForecast Doesn't display imperial units
@sdetweil - Thanks Sam - I guess I was and am confused.
Below are two code snips showing the subject module and one other. Both are designated to be disabled with the “disabled: true” instruction outside the config section. The top one still operates, while the bottom one [and every other module I have edited this way] is disabled. So, it’s not a big deal and I will keep an eye out for how I do things. Thanks again.

@kayakbabe FWIW, i installed the jclarke0000 module, and so far it looks pretty good - thanks again!
