Jon00 Cumulus/weeWX Weather for Homeseer 3 & Homeseer 4

[jon00]

So you need to remove the blank devices and rename i.e.

[Info]
Version=1.0.8
[Settings]
Filepath=c:\cumulus\realtime.txt
[Device1]
DeviceName="Updated"
ImageName="Timedate.png"
DeviceText="<#date> <#timehhmmss>"
DeviceValue=""
[Device2]
DeviceName="Wind Direction"
ImageName="Compass.png"
DeviceText="<#currentwdir>"
DeviceValue=""


Your next configuration would be under [Device3]

Ok but stupid question, how does the ini file know which variable to read if I change "wind direction" from Device 17 to Device 2 without changing the realtime.txt file.

How does it "know" to skip all those variables in realtime.txt?

I'm not questioning, I'm asking.


Also, I changed the text description "Yesterday Rainfall" to "Rainfall Yesterday" so I could sort and have all the RAIN variables together. However, it continues to display "Yesterday Rainfall". I even logged out and back in thinking something was stuck in a cache. Strange.

[jon00]

The tags i.e. <#currentwdir> determine the data shown. It has nothing to do with the position in the list.

If you make changes to the DeviceName, you have to delete the virtual device and let the script create it again.

Got it! Functioning as designed, I love it. Donation made.

Cumulus devices not showing in designer

I have just completed a clean install of HS3 on a new machine all devices have loaded and working fine, however the Cumulus devices are not showing in HS Touch designer all the others are. All was working fine before.

They are not marked as hidden as far as I can tell

Any ideas ?

Cancel my last post, all working now.
It was a connection problem with HS Touch

The devicestring has additional html code.

Use the data source directly i.e.

Select Case hs.GetINISetting("Data", "12", "", "Jon00CumulusDataHS3.ini")

Thanks, just saw this

Here is the rest of the code in case anyone needs it:

Select Case hs.GetINISetting("Data", "12", "", "Jon00CumulusDataHS3.ini")
	Case "N"
		Windir = "North"
	Case "NNE"
		Windir = "North North East"
	Case "NE"
		Windir = "North East"
	Case "ENE"
		Windir = "East North East"
	Case "E"
		Windir = "East"
	Case "ESE"
		Windir = "East South East"
	Case "SE"
		Windir = "South East"
	Case "SSE"
		Windir = "South South East"
	Case "S"
		Windir = "South"
	Case "SSW"
		Windir = "South South West"
	Case "SW"
		Windir = "South West"
	Case "WSW"
		Windir = "West South West"
	Case "W"
		Windir = "West"
	Case "WNW"
		Windir = "West North West"
	Case "NNW"
		Windir = "North North West"
	Case Else
		Windir = ""

End Select

Jon00 Cumulus Script

My system crashed, weather station died, etc.. I finally got around to putting everything back together. Prior to the crash, the cumulus plugin worked fine. Now, when the event triggers to run the Jon00CumulusWeather.vben script, I get an error. In the event under 'script' it says, script file c:/......Jon00CumulusWeather.vben is encrupted and cannot be loaded for editing. In the HS3 log file, it says:Event action run script could not be completed - action does not have a valid script file or immediate command.

Any ideas? Thanks.

[jon00]

The event message is normal.

Would you provide a screenshot of your event showing the script to be run?

Attached is a general guide on integrating weeWX weather software with the weather34 web template and getting the weather data into HomeSeer HS3 via the Jon00 Cumulus script.

Jon HS4 is complaining of missing icons. though /deviceutility view is fine.
Checking path specified the icon files are indeed there.

File does not exist: C:\Program Files (x86)\HomeSeer\html\images\Devices\jon00\Cumulus\Pressure.pn g" border="0" ><span style=



there are many of these and all files do indeed exist.
Any thoughts?

[jon00]

I have not got around to testing this on HS4. Would you please post your realtime.txt file and I'll fire it up on HS4 to see what needs to be done.

[mystic860]

Sure thing. its attached though the picture obscures it.
Thanks Jon.

[jon00]

Thanks, I should be able to get a new version out tomorrow.

[jon00]

Version 1.1.0 is now available:

Changes:

Added Root device
Devices are now grouped
Updated to work correctly with Homeseer 4.
Documentation added to the download zip (thanks to tayormia for this writeup) to allow use of weeWX software to be used by this script.
