Weather quit forecasting in mcstemprature

[rmorton27]

Michael,

Suddenly on on 4-11-2007 the weather forecast quit updating. I see in the log that it report the last weather update as occurring 4-11-2007 as well. The manual get forecast button in the setup window doesn't seem to want (or at least nothing noticable is reported) to fetch any data. If checked the option for general debug log and no wether forcast data entries are made.

Am I out of luck becasue I am running homeseer 1.7.30? I running mcstemprature 4.7.31. Can I install version 5 on homeseer 1.7?

ACCID is set to 60527 which it has been for several years...

thanks for any help or direction

MSNBC stopped their feed. You will need to swith to Weather.com. You need to register with Weather.com but it is free. You can get the data using the WeatherXML script and share the file it generates or have mcsTemperature pull it directly from the site. There has been some discussion on the setup recently in this subforum.

Yes, it will configure itself for either version

weather forecast updating

Hello,
I think I'm missing something obvious, so maybe others are too:
I found the forum messages which said MSNBC wasn't working and to switch to Weather.com's XML data. I have correctly entered my license info and my \Data\weathercom_xml\weathercom.xml file is correctly updating...I can see current data within.
My HS2 log says "Weather XML site cannot be accessed more often than 30 minutes" every minute, which probably corresponds to my "transfer mapped virtual devices" rate? I never see a successful forecast download message in the log, that might be useful?
My real problem is that I can't then read/graph the current temperature - what am I missing? I am storing the forecast data in devices and db (temp into R7), but I don't get any data with a graph or table. I've tried an analog virtual device entry in the setup screen, but no joy - I ended up with two entries in my Groups table :P
I'm sure it's obvious, but help a guy out?
thx!
p.s. Love the plugin btw, I am successfully monitoring my CamStat temp and set points...more sensors soon! Can we get all the analog and discrete pages in the setup screen into the web gui? Uninstalling the service to access that page is extra work

It seems you are using V4 or mcsTemperature. V5 contains the Browser interface. To start with use the Updater and get the current mcsTemperature install. Then extract the attachment into the Homeseer 2 folder that is found at http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=116165.

When you have the current configuration then we will know that we will not be chasing issues that have already been overcome.

Does HS reflect the downloaded weather data in its virtual devices?

updating

Thanks and apologies! Well, I definitely should have prefaced my prior posting with this posting, but I didn't think the small revision change I thought I had might be to blame...

I used the updater to originally attempt the install, but it kept hanging. I ultimately ran the install manually and had success. Subsequent runs of the updater always (successfully) leave me at 5.7.0.0, not 5.7.0.2 according to the updater:

Wow, apologies, I must practice better reading comprehension...I saw four attachments on the forum you mentioned the first time, but it took your 2nd reply to get me to see that there were 3 pages of forum entries!

Ok, I'm running 5.7.2 and I have weather data! At work we call that an id10T error...

Thanks much!!
