As the name suggests, the weather module shows you the current and future weather at your location. Here’s how to set it up.<\/h2>\n

The weather is used in mirr.OS in two places. Once in the info module<\/a>, in combination with date and time, and then of course in the weather module. After you have started mirr.OS<\/a> for the first time, you will get 99.9 \u00b0 as default value. This is normal, because you first need an own API key from the data provider openweathermap.org.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\n

How to get a free API key<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Create a free user account at openweathermap.org\/appid<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Log in there, look for the entry with the API key and copy this key<\/li>\n
  3. Click on the pencil in the weather module in mirr.OS and paste the copied API key in the appropriate place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Please note: openweathermap needs a few minutes until the API-Key is really ready. Until then mirr.OS still shows you “invalid API-KEY”. Try again after a few minutes and reload the config page.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”40″ bottom_padding=”40″ overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column centered_text=”true” column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][image_with_animation image_url=”5733″ alignment=”center” animation=”None” img_link_large=”yes” hover_animation=”none” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default”][divider line_type=”No Line” custom_height=”10″][vc_column_text]\n

    This is what you can set up<\/h3>\n

    Mirr.OS takes your location from the initiating setup. If you want to change your location, log in to mirr.OS and click on the pin in the weather module. There you can:<\/p>\n
