Update v2.15 - Attached is the installer for v2.14 of Snevl Weather Warnings (Snevl_WW), as well as a ZIP file of the files to replace for v2.15. Features:
Ed Tenholder (tenholde) collaborated with me on this, developing the Alerts web page and the installer.
After running the v2.14 installer, unzip the v2.15 files and use the two files in that zip to replace the same files installed by the installer.
Please post any questions, comments, requests, or bug reports (for both tenholde and I) in the discussion thread: http://board.homeseer.com/showthread.php?t=147338

- Monitors NWS for alerts in one or more states, and any number of counties within those states.
- Allows for ignoring certain alert types, or considering certain alert types as "high priority"
- Now includes (thanks to Ed Tenholder, aka tenholde) a separate web page to display the currently active alerts, and control notifications and announcements; Much prettier than the standard HS device status page.
- Can track and take action on up to five alerts that are active at any time. This number can be modified with a one-line change to the code.
- Optionally will create and populate device strings for up to five active alerts at a time.
- Options to perform a number of actions when alerts are detected: email messages, text-to-speech announcements, text messages, or LED sign displays.
- VBScript statements can be specified to run just before or just after any announcement, e.g. to turn speakers ON/OFF.
- A separate optional event can be created, and it will be triggered each time there is a new alert. This allows for pretty easy expansion for actions other than those already built into the script.
- Most actions include templates and support substitution variables, so you can make the content of the email, text messages, announcements, or LED messages pretty much anything you want, and insert content of the alerts via the variables.
- The speaker instance can be specified for both regular and high priority announcements.
- Everything is configured via an ASPX configuration editor page. Please DO NOT edit the config file manually.
- If the alert info provides a polygon of the affected area, a Google map can be provided to show it (sample shown below). This will show up on the alerts page (from tenholde) and optionally in a device.
