It also looks like I can output a xml file. Maybe that would be easier. (?)
Thanks,

Well, it did work.
You generate a url with the info you want on their site (which is why I didn't think it would work) but I ran the url today and it does give today's date and time.
https://waterservices.usgs.gov/nwis/...siteStatus=all
I looked at the page source and it comes out like a text file.

Those are the Temp in C and the Stage level of the lake. I should probably get the date and time too.
Thanks,

Well, I emailed the USGS and asked them about the error. Hereis what I got back. I went to the site they suggested, but you have to manually input the info you want.
Don't know how that is going to work
USGS Response:
Dear Tim,
I suspect your error is related to our 12/14/2016 switch to HTTPS secure protocol described in this news article:
https://help.waterdata.usgs.gov/news...%205%2C%202016
From the error trace it's unclear what steps might be needed. Perhaps simply changing http:// to https:// in the software or its configuration file. But it also is possible a deeper change is needed to enable HTTPS encryption (aka Secure Socket Layer, or SSL).
Unrelated to the issue at hand, but a suggestion: you might consider https://waterservices.usgs.gov/ instead of waterdata.usgs.gov. waterservices' offers friendlier ("better", perhaps) web services for software, including several choices of output formats. But it too requires the use of the HTTPS encrypted protocol.
Please contact me (bdgarner@usgs.gov) if you have further questions.
Sincerely,
Brad Garner

Not quite ready for HS3 just yet, sorry.
Still watching the x10 stuff get fixed up.
But thank you for trying.

Sorry I cannot assist further unless you move it across to HS3 and use my Datascraper....

Yes, tried all that already.
It will come up as - https://waterdata.usgs.gov/ia/nwis/uv?06604200
or ---------------- https://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?site_no=06604200
Still get the same error.
Thanks,

The URL is now https://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?site_no=06604200
(https rather than http). Have you tried that?

Still use this with HS2.
Started getting the error below. Check the website and it is up and working fine.
I don't understand the error.

Using my.Alert with webpage that requires login
I'm using Homeseer 2 and I just ordered an ecobee 3 thermostat and I was wondering if I could use this to get temperature for the website. I don't think there is a plugin for HS2 and this thermostat. I also don't have a login yet so I can't test it.
Here is the webpage.

For the second, Try:
PHP Code:RegExSearch=Dissolved Ox...</td><td class="value">.*?</td></tr><tr><td class="parameter-name">Dissolved Ox...</td><td class="value">(.*?) mg/L</td>
RegExReplace=1

Here is how the ini comes out -
PHP Code:[DissolvedOxy]
URL=http://wqdatalive.com/public/470.
RegExSearch=Dissolved Ox...</td><td class="value">(.*?) %</td>
RegExReplace=1
DeviceString=I84
Content=100.1
[DissolvedOxy2]
URL=http://wqdatalive.com/public/470.
RegExSearch=Dissolved Ox...</td><td class="value">(.*?) mg/L</td>
RegExReplace=1
