      Can somebody help this noob?
      I use the default weather module with Open weather provider.
      Somewhere on this forum I read that Api 2.5 will end in June, so I subscribed to Api 3.0.
      Is this free?
      They asked for creditcard numbers, I still hope this is free.
      And can somebody help me with my config; Api 3.0, lat, long , no idea how to put it in my config.
      An example of a working config with Api 3.0 would help me a lot.
      Greetings,
      Peter

        @Peter the same config.js has entries for weather (Openweather is the default provider)

        just add the property
        apiVersion: ‘3.0’,

        and replace the other property values with yours

        the doc for weather is here
        https://docs.magicmirror.builders/modules/weather.html

        you do not need to specify anything that is the same as the doc indicates (like provider)

        as the design is your config.js overrides the defaults for a module.

        read the two links in my signature below. I didn’t write them, they are very helpful

            @sdetweil after adding the version to my config, the weather module does not start.

            {
            module: “weather”,
            position: “top_right”,
            config: {
            weatherProvider: “openweathermap”,
            apiVersion: ‘3.0’,
            type: “current”,
            location: “Apeldoorn”,
            locationID: “2759705”, //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
            apiKey: “xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxkey removed”
            }
            },
            It works fine with Api 2.5, but do I need lat, lon instead of Location and Locatio ID?
            It is confusing.

              @sdetweil what does this limited number mean?
              If I use the default settings do I stay under the limit?

                @Peter there are multiple providers under weather, some need locationId, some need location name, some need lat/lon

                the top section of the doc applies to all providers, and further down is specifics for each provider

                if it works, then it works.

                limited calls per day 1000 I think., so their doc says

                divide seconds per day by 1000

                stay under that rate.

                we will next release fixes July 1, every 90 days

                  @sdetweil thanks for your help but I cannot get it working.
                  Maybe somebody else has an idea how to get it working?

                    @Peter I took the sample
                    and added my 3.0 api key… no other changes, I commented out provider as openweather is the default
                    my 2.5 key did not work

                              {
                          module: "weather",
                          position: "top_right",
                          header: "Weather Forecast",
                          config: {
                            //weatherProvider: "openweathermap",
                            type: "forecast",
                            location: "New York",
                            locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
                            apiKey: "mykey"
                          }
                        },
                          {
                            module: "weather",
                            position: "top_right",
                            config: {  // type:"current is default"
                              location: "New York",
                              locationID: "5128581", //ID from http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz; unzip the gz file and find your city
                              apiKey: "mykey", 
                            }
                          },
                    

                    sorry, had some funky icons in test…
                    also had three instances, picked wrong 2… forecast first, current second

                      @sdetweil ok, I did the same, so I removed apiVersion:‘3.0’, now it works.
                      But how can I see if it works on version 2.5 or version 3.0?
                      And how do I recognise a version 3.0 Api key?
                      On the site of Openweather I have several Api keys, but how to recognise a version 3.0?

                        @Peter they don’t tell you. I have many as well.

                        they will tell you to try it… not much use

                        version 3 is only one endpoint, onecall
                        I don’t know how to force the module like that, it changes the endpoint based on the type (current, forecast…)
