Weather Error: Weather Data Error:

[editwentyone]

hi, I'm on 3.0.3 and compiled myself but also updated afterwards through UI. reseted flash before and after, nothing helps.

all I get is the "Weather Error: Weather Data Error:" error. its even a fresh API key, but still, no changes, since hours. any ideas?

Connect to the Arduino IDE and use the port monitor to view the error. It should tell you what is happening. Baud 115200.

Honestly, it looks like a connectivity issue. My guess is that it timed out waiting 1 minute from making the request. Make sure that on the network that your device is on it can actually reach full URL and is not being blocking the weather service. I have seen this before.

[editwentyone]

tested this on my desktop: https://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/group?id=MYCITY&units=metric&cnt=1&APPID=MYAPI

and got an answer inside a browser, so it shouldn't be the pihole on my network (checked the logs there too)

[editwentyone]

same goes for http://api.timezonedb.com/v2.1/get-time-zone?key=MYCITY&format=json&by=position&lat=MYLAT&lng=MYLONG its working fine in my browser

[Qrome]

I know you are testing on your browser, however the device runs in the 2.4Ghz network and make sure that your browser / computer is on the exact same IP range and subnet as the scrolling clock device. Again, this isn't a coding issue, but probably a network issue, and I have seen this before where the different networks have blocking lists etc.

This is what tells me you are being blocked. Timed out and no response -- there is a 60 second delay there.

[editwentyone]

will test with different wifi (not guest anymore), will report back

[editwentyone]

ok @Qrome, reflashed and brought to the main network (no guest network anymore) and bam, its working. shame on me. but something is blocking and you were right. thanks for your time

Hey, thanks for the update. I hope this can help others.
