    WAF Low tonight - she told me to shut it off

    Lately I have noticed when getting a CNN news alert it plays every three minutes while posted on CNN. It used to only play once. Anyone having a similiar issue?

    Ini looks like:

    9/7/2007 8:03:17 PM=The owners of a nursing home where 35 patients died after Hurricane Katrina are found not guilty of negligent homicide, cruelty, AP reports.
    9/7/2007 8:06:17 PM=The owners of a nursing home where 35 patients died after Hurricane Katrina are found not guilty of negligent homicide, cruelty, AP reports.

      autocap,

      You just put the *.vb in the box where it is reading the script in your event action.

            Pete,
            Are you using the VBScript (.txt) or VB.NET (.vb) version? I can probably send you a slightly modified version that mostly fixes the problem.

              Hello Steve, I am using the VB.NET version.

              Your modified version would be great. Thank you.

              Pete

                OK,
                So how many versions are floating out there? And which one works the best? I'm using the .txt version, can someone share a "newer" version that does not repeat breaking news over and over? Thanks!

                Comment


                  I don't want anyone to think I'm ignoring you or that I've forgotten. I've been waiting for a Breaking News alert to make sure the edits I've made work. I've got the VB.NET version running on one computer and the VBScript version running on another.

                  I don't use LEDAM (I use my own scripts that I wrote before LEDAM came out), so I've commented that part out of both scripts. It probably should be based on something in the INI file, but since this isn't my script, I'm hesitant to hijack it.

                  Anyway, if we can get some breaking news, I'll know if this is OK now and will post it.

                  Steve

                    Got it!

                    OK, so I had a breaking news alert on both machines, so I guess it still works fine.

                    All I did in both versions was change the compare of the new/old alerts from being an exact match to checking the first 100 characters. I inserted this a while back when I was seeing the repeats, and it seems to be fine.

                    Like I said before, if you use LEDAM, you'll need to edit the scripts. The VB.NET and VBScript versions are attached. I'm not the author, and don't really know who owns the configuration management of these, but hopefully whoever it is will pick this idea up and incorporate it if more edits are required.

                        Repeating Breaking News ***BUMP

                        **bump
                        With all the breaking financial news this week, my wife is complaining about the re-triggering of the CNN alerts. Has anyone figured out a fix for this?

                        Comment


                          Would be nice to get this working again.

                            As long as you are running something that looks at a web page to parse info from eventually that script will quit working because web masters are always changing layout and format of that web page you are referencing.

                            The best luck I had was subscribe my HomeSeer email address to CNN Breaking News alerts and then ran the following script from an event that was triggered by an email from CNN.

                            PHP Code:
                            sub main()
                            dim index subject body
                            index 
                            hs.MailTrigger 
                            subject 
                            hs.MailSubject(index)
                            body hs.MailText(index)

                            '-----------------------------------------------

                            '
                            body "Test"
                            end_hook instr(body,"Watch CNN") -2
                            if end_hook 10 then end_hook len(body
                                 
                            body left(body,end_hook)
                                 
                            hs.WriteLog "CNN Alert" body
                            end 
                            if
                            hs.SetDeviceString "w63",body

                            end sub

                              It seems to be working here. I've gotten 6 alerts announced so far today, and it looks like there was about a dozen yesterday. I made a small change to drop the "Watch now" that CNN seems to put on the end of most of them now, but other than that I think I pretty much run what I posted above.
