Can you show that portion of your config file? The locationID should be in double quotes.

Thanks for your quick response. This is not a configuration file problem.  The issue has to do with finding the Location ID for the configuration file.  The "read me" file says:locationID: "", //Location ID from http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txtThis link does not work.  In my case, specifying the location does not get me the correct city.  My city is Cornelius, NC.  So I put this in the config file: location: "cornelius, US"Because there is more than one Cornelius in the US the one I get ( the first one in the list) is not the correct one.  Therefore, I must use the Location ID to specify the correct location.  I found this location list by downloading the "city.list.json.gz" file at : http://78.46.48.103/sample/ I hope this make sense.   On Tuesday, May 14, 2019, 8:28:50 AM CDT, vin p <[email protected]> wrote: Can you show that portion of your config file?

Ah, okay. Yes, the link is should be replaced with http://bulk.openweathermap.org/sample/city.list.json.gz in all areas that reference http://openweathermap.org/help/city_list.txt in the code comments.

Just checking you were in fact able to find your town's proper ID yes ?
