Wunderground Script (Weather) Version 1.00 Discussion

[The Keeper]

Ok, completely understandable. No problem, thanks anyway. Looks like there might be other ways to pull that data into HS, so I'll pursue those.

Hi!

It looks like I'm not going to be able to afford a weather station any time soon, so pulling local data in from wunderground would be really cool. I like the looks of your script, but... I see it contains the dreaded "geturlie", which is now a death sentence for any host with IE7 or IE8 that uses it.

Kuntakintay, is there any possibility that you might be updating the script to replace the "geturlie" with something else?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,

I wish I could, but frankly I have not kept up with the coding side of things and dont know .net, just vb6... Now I manage the developers/projects and dont code anymore... ;-) And I havent used the script in ages... Sorry

If anyone else is using it, feel free to have at it though...

The Wunderground personal weather station data is now avaliable from them via RSS feed. I use it in HSTouch.

Install information copied from the file thread... Information to assist you is bolded...

This is a script package to pull Wunderground Weatherstation data into HomeSeer and display in virtual devices.

Contained in this package are 3 files.

wunderground.ini (goes in config folder)
wunderground.asp (goes in scripts folder)
wunderground_install.asp (goes in scripts folder)

After unzipping, you will need to go and change the location data (and housecode/devicecode fields if you wish) to your local wunderground weatherstationid. More information can be found in the wunderground.ini file on how to locate this.

After you have made the changes, create a temp event and set it to run script wunderground_install.asp and select test (you can delete this test event after running the wunderground_install.asp script. This script will create an event to check the wunderground station data every 5 minutes (you can change to less frequency if you wish) , and it will set up virtual devices to display the data.

I have left the data results very generic for using these housecodes with any other scripts/events you wish to build... Feel free to poke around and change the data if you are up to a little scripting...

The discussion thread for this Script is here:
http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=111451

Many thanks to Rupp for his direct assistance with pulling and parsing the data, and the designers of the NOAAWeather and XMLWeather packages for letting me steal some code, using ideas and methods to set up devices, events, etc.

I built this for a direct need for automating my outdoor lighting to disable when windspeeds are high (false motion sensor issues), but as I was working on it figured someone else may find this useful so I put it together as a package. I hope you find this useful.

I sent them a trouble ticket about it and waiting for an answer. I am registered with wunderground weather and looked all over for this information and even did searches of the web site and no luck. So I will see what the trouble ticket does. I cant believe no one else has had he problem or give ideas on where you find the answers you need.
Well we will see what happens with the trouble ticket and share my information with others.

Daniel,

This is not a HS supported plugin, so I am sure your trouble ticket got ignored. This was just something I put together a long time ago for others to use.

Config info is at the beginning of this thread. Ill repost for those that are having issues.

Check to see of your weather station is down. Happens to me quite often.

Hi,

This script was working until sometime last evening and the log entry shows this:

Any ideas?

You guys do realize this is the wunderground plugin, not the weatherxml plugin right? Maybe you're posting in the wrong thread...

You dont need to register anything to access wunderground stations. You can pull the weather station id info right off the url for the station...

Here's all stations for WV:

http://www.wunderground.com/weathers...=United+States

The station id goes in the plugin config... (See instructions earlier in thread for how to use it).

I am having the same problem. I just cant find where I find the information for these slots.

seems like weather.com... you need to register and get all your info that they will provide you about your location...

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

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

This is likely caused because the data file downloaded from wunderground does not containing any data. Check wunderground website using the id that you have supplied to see if the weather station is valid and reporting results. If not available, you will need to select an alternative weather station code for the plugin to use.
