Open Weather Map module

[ocmeros]

I've a question about the open weather map module. In the first place a had the problem that the openweather.json file wasn't created. After I created this file manual and set the right permission to this file the file was updated by the module with the current weather information. After I did this I also saw the variables in the variable manager. I now would like to display the weather data on the overlay, but the data won't display.
On the all variables screen I see the variables with the current value. I've added these to the Allsky variables, and I'm able to add them to the overlay screen. The value's are also visible when I toggle the display sample data in the overlay editor, but on the real image the data isn't displayed.
When I set the debug level to 4, and took a look in the allsky.log (I found this in another discussion) I see the following messages:

2024-11-04T16:28:51.689569+01:00 allsky allsky[514590]: WARNING: data field OWTEMP expired. File time 04.11.24 13:37:34, now 04.11.24 16:28:51. Expiry 240 Seconds. Age 10277 Seconds

In the /home/pi/allsky/tmp/extra/ folder the file openweather.json has the current time/date.

What could cause the warnings in the allsky log about the data fields that are expired. I think when I can fix this that the data will be displayed on the overlay.

This looks like the openweather.json file isn't being updated.

In the overlay editor config there is a setting that determines how long the data in the file is valid for

So after 10 minutes of the file hasn't been updated the data will be invalidated and not displayed, this is designed to prevent old data being displayed on overlays.

There is another log file that may help track this down. Have a look in /var/log/allskyperiodic.log (with the debug level set to 4) and see if there are any errors related to the OW module

I had no errors in the allskyperiodic log either.

I've now removed the variables in the variable manager in the overlay editor and added them one by one again saving every step, and now it's working 😌
