JMC Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 This is a restart of the same topic from last December. I got involved in other issues which precluded me from continuing and that topic is now closed. My problem is that OpenWeatherMap in PG3x does not show useful data. When I look at Node Details for OpenWeatherMap it shows values of all 0. Bob Paauwe: You previously requested I send you the log package in a PM but I don't have your email address so I can't do that. I attached it to this post instead. Hopefully it provides some useful information. OpenWeatherMap_2-29-2024_62354_PM.zip Quote Link to comment

FYI, you send a PM by going to the top of the screen and selecting the closed envelope to the left of your username. Then select compose new message. For recipient, you use the person's username (for this site), not their email address. Quote Link to comment

When I look at Node Details for OpenWeatherMap it shows values of all 0. It's failing with "Invalid API key. Please see https://openweathermap.org/faq#error401 for more info." OpenWeatherMap has multiple types of subscription plans and the API keys for the different types of plans aren't interchangeable. The OpenWeatherMap plug-in was written to use the plans that are under the "Professional Collection". It won't work with API keys for the "One Call API 3.0" subscription plan. I suspect that your key is for this plan. The other thing that causes issues is that when you request an API key, it doesn't immediately become active. They say it can take a few hours. In some cases, it seems that "few" can translate to over 24 hours. Quote Link to comment
JMC Posted April 1 Author Share Posted April 1 I would like to subscribe to the "Professional Collection" but OpenWeatherMap has an email address for me which no longer exists and which I cannot change. Whenever I try to do anything, including change the email address, the response is sent to the non-existent email address. Quote Link to comment
JMC Posted April 2 Author Share Posted April 2 How can I get rid of the old email address at OpenWeathertMap? Is there a phone number I can call? Quote Link to comment

JMC Posted April 3 Author Share Posted April 3 Creating a new account is a way around the problem without solving it. There has to be a way to remove an email address that no longer exists. Quote Link to comment

JMC Posted April 4 Author Share Posted April 4 That's why I need a phone number. When I try to contact by computer I never get a reply. If anyone has a phone number, please send it. Quote Link to comment

JMC Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 That looks like it worked, thanks. Quote Link to comment
JMC Posted April 5 Author Share Posted April 5 I thought it worked but I was wrong. It failed, saying that my email address was already taken. Quote Link to comment
JMC Posted April 17 Author Share Posted April 17 I logged on to OpenWeatherMap and got good data for my location. I double checked my API key on OpenWeatherMap, it matches the API key in my eisy. Location is correct. Polyglot 3x still shows all values as 0. I attached the log in case it might prove helpful. ISY Log.v5.8.0__Wed 2024.04.17 08.58.40.txt Quote Link to comment

ISY Log.v5.8.0__Wed 2024.04.17 08.58.40.txt 308.52 kB · 1 download No, that log doesn't help at all. You need to provide the plug-in log, not the IoX log. But, I'll re-iterate, the plug-in only works with the Professional Collections API, NOT the One Call (either 3.0 or 2.5) API. Once an API key is generated for your OpenWeatherMap account, it can take anywhere from 1 to 48 hours before it becomes active. Quote Link to comment
Mike Carron Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 How can I get an API key that will allow my EISY to retrieve valid weather data from OpenWeatherMap? Quote Link to comment
Geddy Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 @Mike Carron, your original issue was moved out to it’s own thread….perhaps read there and you can get it sorted out. Quote Link to comment
