Im trying to get the weather plugin to work on vera 3 ui5, but it keeps telling me that i have not set a location (i have). Is it broken in ui5 or am i doing something wrong?
It works on UI5. Where are you setting the location?

i have set the location in Veras setup (Copenhagen), there is also a location in the weather plugin (from appstore) but it wont let me enter anything.
After you set the location, did you restart Luup?
Try to set directly the “Location” variable in the advanced (not settings) properties of the module World Weather.
For me, it works.
This is what it tells me: MiOS Preferences/Toolbox, Latitude and Longitude required for Plugin to work. where do i find that? I cant see a location variable in advanced settings. How do i restart luup? Sorry but im a complete newbie at this 
I’m having issues with it as well. I’ve setup the country/city locations as well tried the option of setting the lon/lat coordinates directly into the device. The google plugin won’t pickup the settings properly.
I’ve even tried settings the requested data, pressing the save button and then rebooting the device prior to installing the google plugin. It doesn’t seem to make a difference.
[size=6pt]Probably what I deserved getting a first run batch of the Vera V3 through the webshop and not waiting for the store release in the netherlands…[/size]
After having everything configured, rebooted, plugin installed, booted. I have a none-functional plugin. When I open up the “device settings” for the device it created it doesn’t allow me to manually select “metric” or “US” measurement settings and also doesn’t allow me to to save the manually typed in the location coordinates and press set.
The buttons for SET/METRIC/USUNITS seem numb. When you hover them they change from light blue to darker blue, but clicking them doesn’t seem to have any effect, nor does it trigger the save button it usually triggers in the upper right corner.

What version of MiOS are you running? I’d need the full version#, like 1.5.276 from the Setup/Firmware tab.
The reason I’m asking is the behavior you describe is almost what happened with the shipping UI5 (1.5.208, from memory) where it would crash every time you clicked any button within a plugin.
Right, that might explain why Heliotrope also has this issue with me?
I’m running 1.5.254 according to the firmware page. Perhaps that upgrade didn’t go very well? Is there a way to re-run the upgrade it’s current version?

Nope, those releases are new enough that you shouldn’t have a problem. I created the GoogleWeather device, in a blank v3, using a build older than what you’re running and I had no issues, I’m now running on a newer [Beta, pre-release] build and it’s fine also … and I always use FireFox
Something else must be amiss in the environment (Browser settings, Vera config, etc). You might need to call the MCV Helpdesk folks on this one, or put in a support ticket for them to look at, since you should ALWAYS be able to click the buttons.
Before you do that, you’ll want to clear your caches just in case there are any older-release “remnants” (JS files etc) floating around that causing issues.

I’ve tried clearing browser caches and still no luck. Hence one of the reasons for me for using different browsers in order to have a fresh cache and rule out browser specific errors.
Are there any buttons to push to clear out any Vera system caches?
I’m not calling the MCV helpdesk as it’s intercontinental… “calling”… the 1990’s called, they want their landlines back!
I have to find out if they have a skype address, at least that’s from this century ;D
Anyway, I launched a support ticket referring to this topic amongst other things.
It seems I have multiple issues I can’t get fixed by doing a reset to factory defaults or a reboot:
- Google weather plugin
- Heliotrope
- Ping Sensor Plugin
I had my Zwave 2.78L1 stuck in “SUC SIS:Yes PRI:Yes” … (fixed that already)
Whether or not it’s a firmware issue, I can’t say. I’ve never updated the firmware in this device.
did you ever find a resolution? I’m having same issue trying to connect to google weather;

I just installed the Google Weather plugin for Vera Lite UI5 1.5.346.
Temperature, Humidity, High and Low modules are showing up blank. I cannot find where to put my location or in what form.
Have you refreshed the UI?
Yes, but I have not entered a location…and can’t find where to add location.
Thanks
To set your location go to: Setup >> Location
Yes, I’ve set the global location for Vera, but not for Google Weather. All information is blank. See picture attached.
The plugin gets the location from Vera. That field in the Google Weather device is for overriding the location set in Vera.
Put this URL in your browser and let me know if you get anything: https://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=,,,48856700,23508000&hl=en
Yes, I get some weather data (below), but my icons are still blank.
