Getting the system.core error with script

[jayman13]

Compiling script C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\HOMESEER HS3\scripts\ClimaCellConnect.vb: Character is not valid.

Error

Compiling script C:\PROGRAM FILES (X86)\HOMESEER HS3\scripts\ClimaCellConnect.vb: Namespace or type specified in the Imports 'System.Core' doesn't contain any public member or cannot be found. Make sure the namespace or the type is defined and contains at least one public member. Make sure the imported element name doesn't use any aliases.

I've posted the script below. It works fine in visual studio using tenholder's program. I've had other scripts work fine with system.net namespace. Is it the system.collections.generic namespace? Any insight would be appreciated.

Your actual error is "Character is not valid.", due to the "$" characters on this line and four subsequent instances.

hs.SetDeviceString(1423, [COLOR=#e74c3c]$[/COLOR]"{weatherData(0).precipitation_probability.value.ToStrin g() }% chance", True)

Once these are corrected you may get a bunch of "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." errors, apparently due to the way you're trying to dereference the JSON, starting at the line

hs.SetDeviceValueByRef(1426, weatherData(0).temp(1).max.value, True)

The 'System.Core' message (its actually a warning, not an error), is a bogus message generated on every script compilation. Since it's only a warning, it's only displayed when there are subsequent compilation errors. The wrapper that HST uses includes the line 'Imports System.Core' which apparently is invalid in the context that the compiler is called.

Thanks, don’t know how I missed the $ symbol. On your second point, how should I be referencing the json? Are you saying I should make it a variable first?

[zwolfpack]

It looks like the errors I was seeing "Reference to a non-shared member requires an object reference." can be eliminated by removing the line near the start

Public Class ClimaCellConnect

and it's associated 'End Class'.

Those errors weren't due to the JSON dereferencing after all, rather the class declaration was isolating the definition of the 'hs' object so it wasn't available inside the declared class.

With those two lines and the "$" characters removed I get a clean compile.

[tenholde]

If you were testing using tenScripting, I'm surprised the $ errors weren't caught. Also, the Class and Class End statements should have been stripped out of your script if you used the tenScripting Export function. Let me know if there is an apparent tenScripting problem.

Thanks for looking at it, got it up and working now which will replace now Apple's DarkSky api.

Yeah, weird. It works with tenScripting using string interpolation with the $ in visual studio. I had migrated this script from C# to vb.net. I guess homeseer doesn't allow string interpolation but tenScripting does?

Might have to do with what version of the. Net framework HS is targeting. HS provides very little support to the scripting environment as they feel everything can now be done with events.

I'm close to having CSharp support in tenScripting and am looking for testers

Cool, looks interesting. I've been checking out OpenWeatherMap, visualcrossing.com, weatherbit.io. I'll take a look at this one as well!

Great! I’d be happy to test

I used this one mainly as it included precipitation probability, seems like a lot don’t.

[CharlieScott]

Thanks for all the info guys. I had been looking for a decent Darksky replacement for some time now. ClimaCell and Aeris were on my list. Will apply this info to check out Climacell first.
