Wunderground Script (Weather) Version 1.00 Discussion

[fungun]

I just started getting this error lately.
!~Error~!~Running script, script run or compile error in file: wunderground.txt5:Invalid procedure call or argument: 'mid' in line 13 More info: Invalid procedure call or argument: 'mid'

Have any idea why?
Thanks
Tim

EDIT- aw never mind they changed the location code from KIASPIRI2 to KIASPIRI1

It is a swf file (flash movie) so it resized itself.

Here is the URL I am using for Cedar Park, TX:
http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapi...tion=KTXCEDAR4

You can find out the right URL for your area by doing the following:
Go to Wunderground.com
Select Personal Weather stations
Select your state from the dropdown
Press View by State
Find the location closest to you and select its link (some locations may not have images)
Beneath the image will be HTML to embed the image in a webpage
Just copy the portion in quotes following Value= (It will start with http://)
Use that URL as the your Maestro custom camera URL

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Dave

Nice work Dave. How did you get it to size correctly?

johnnybwis,

Thanks for the tip about the graphics under personal stations. I used the URL address in the Maestro Awareness Module to bring the data in as a Camera.

Thanks,
Dave

Just came accross your script.

Is it possible to get this script to work with the Global weather?

In the ini file it asks for the city code, in the global display you only have a number in the address bar, ie: for myself it is 03160.

Unfortunately I just dont have the time to work on re-writing for global weather service. Feel free to re-code as necessary on your own though...

John,
On FF I was missing all the detail in the buttons and wind direction compass (I only know what this "should" have been because I've been trying to capture it in my web pages forever). When I fired up IE, the buttons and frames still don't fill in with background data. Speaking of backgrounds, they were different in both windows... one was clouds below and above and the other was of a sunset. Is this your page or Wunderground's doing? Oh... the graph part does work; just no units or scale.

The image changes with nearly every view.

This is not my web site. If you go to wunderground.com enter your zip and scroll to the bottom you should have hopefully several personnel weather stations to chose from. I had five and two of them had this new feature.
I've been looking for something new to show my local weather and ran across this. Yes the backgrounds change when you reload the page. It works fine for me in FF and in IE at work but then I brought up IE at home and have the same problem as you.
Then I saw this at the bottom of the weather station page and now it also loads on IE at home.

Having trouble displaying weather station data?
You may need to upgrade your browser's Flash plug-in to version
( the link for the upgrade is on the Wunderground page)

Check out the new (as far as I know) wunderground object that can be embedded in your own web page.

<object width="600" height="400"><param name="movie" value="http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapid_Fire.swf?units=both&station=KWIMANIT3" /><embed src="http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapid_Fire.swf?units=both&station=KWIMANIT3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="600" height="400" /></object>

I think I figured it out. I am betting it is when there is no one logged on. Let you know with more testing.

also, one note if the data is not available for the weatherstation, it will obviously bomb. This happens from time to time for me, maybe once a week...

MeSteve,

What version of homeseer are you running? Do you have the Active Server Pages portion of windows installed (IIS, and ASP components need to be installed through start, settings, control panel, add/remove programs, add/remove windows components, iis) in order to run asp pages. I would also recommend checking to ensure your version of windows has all the latest windows updates.

I have been getting an error. It happens on both version to date.

Any ideas?

It differentiates... If the data isnt available, it is shown as "" in the csv file that gets pulled down. If it is available, it shows "0" or "0.00". I live in AZ, and shows 0 for hourly precip but not available for daily precip (which the weatherstation doesnt support).
