Module: Current Weather

The currentweather module is one of the default modules of the MagicMirror. This module displays the current weather, including the windspeed, the sunset or sunrise time, the temperature and an icon to display the current conditions.

Using the module

To use this module, add it to the modules array in the config/config.js file:

modules: [
	{
		module: "currentweather",
		position: "top_right",	// This can be any of the regions.
									// Best results in left or right regions.
		config: {
			// See 'Configuration options' for more information.
			location: "Amsterdam,Netherlands",
			locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt
			appid: "abcde12345abcde12345abcde12345ab" //openweathermap.org API key.
		}
	}
]
