I’m experiencing the something similar. This is a Pi dedicated to WFPiConsole so no changes have been made. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I still get the same errors. Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/steve/wfpiconsole/main.py", line 613, in <module> wfpiconsole_ap…

This should now be fixed permanently in the latest version: v25.2.1

Thanks everyone. Changing the CheckWX API key to 0 fixed it.

I just gave 25.2.1 a try and it is working now.

Just updated, changed my CheckWX API back and it’s working nicely. Thanks for the support!

Glad to hear it’s working. I’ve moved this issue to a new topic in case others come looking for a fix

What is the issue, exactly? I ran the update to 25.2.1 and now the app won’t run. I get “ERROR: unable to complete CheckWX API call”. How do I fix it?

Please can you send me your CheckWX API key in a private message and I will take a look at what is happening

I’d be happy to, but don’t know how to get a copy off the Pi. How do I get that?

You can either use SSH or VNC to connect to the Pi from a desktop or laptop, or if you have a keyboard and mouse attached to the Pi, then you can login to the forum on the Pi itself and share the API key directly from there

I do not have a keyboard or mouse. What is the username and password for SSH?
