If you have a Personal Weather Station registered to wunderground and miss getting data into Node-RED, you might want to check out node-red-contrib-twc-weather. It uses the TWC PWS apis instead of the depreciated / sunset wunderground API.

I've been looking for a twc node-red forum, and this is the closest I could find. I've gotten node-red setup and successfully showing it's web page. If there is a better place to post this please let me know.

I enter

```auto
npm install node-red-contrib-twc-weather

```

and receive the following error:

```auto
Refusing to install package with name 
"node-red-contrib-twc-weather" 
under a package also called
"node-red-contrib-twc-weather". 
Did you name your project the same 
as the dependency you're installing?

```

I run:

```auto
% npm list node-red -g --depth=3  

```

and get:

```auto
/usr/local/lib
└── node-red@1.0.6 

```

Where do I find the node-red-contrib-twc-weather that it said already exists?

Thanks.

hi @DHK, welcome to the Node-RED forums.  
That's quite a peculiar error you're getting. For verification purposes, can you give the path to the directory from where you're executing the `npm install node-red-contrib-twc-weather` command, and have you tried installing it from the palette instead (From within Node-RED, click the 3 horizontal dashes -\> manage palette -\> all nodes -\> search for "twc-weather" and install the specific node from there)

The exact error you get suggests that you're in a folder that has a `package.json` file, and that in that file there's the definition for a javascript package with the name `node-red-contrib-twc-weather`. Which might make sense if the folder you're in has similar content, or not at all in other circumstances.

@afelix Thanks, you got me over the hump of my first day using node-red. Have a flow working now and just have to learn about adding things to it. Fun stuff.... Turns out adding from the pallette was the key.
