[VB.NET] dwr_pollen.vb discussion thread

[drozwood90]

This is the discussion thread for the dwr_pollen.vb script.

The script can be found here:
http://forums.homeseer.com/showthread.php?p=1132247

Script updated to V1.1, to catch a hardcoded image issue I left in on accident.

Request for adding up to the 3 day capturing as a feature. (x10joe)

My idea of adding a variable zipcode for use when traveling.
Probably should move all "features" into an INI for enable/disable.
Should set it up as device "Groups"
Setup Zipcode for group 1-3 (zipcode, device codes, etc.)

Then, instead of passing a zipcode into the param, you submit which group you want to operate on.

i.e. dwr_pollen.vb("main","1")

Match Jon00's original format for the string:
7.60 - Grass, Nettle and Chenopods
instead of
Grass, Nettle and Chenopods - 7.60

The next time you're bored

In the comments section at the front it still says:

'* Purpose: This script is used to control multiple Zones of Winamp, each "zone" consists *
'* of a sound card and a copy of winamp setup for that specific winamp. *

Thanks for all the hard work, Dan!

DOH!

Thanks, I'll fix that up as well. Nice to have complex headers...when they are accurate!

I think I see why my parsing was not working well.
Randomly they add strange things to the column and row tags:
"{td class="vaB taC"} "
instead of just "{td}"

except { are really <

Forgot that the forum here will read those as HTML.

Sneaky. I guess my kludge is probably the best way to work it, but I'm sure I can be more efficient on the memory use. This script is going to essentially hold a copy of the webpage twice. Not a big deal, but it bugs me when code is sloppy.

Tried your script and got this error -

I was supposed to make this a .vb extension from the .txt one right?

Thanks,

Dan,

I found this in the log today:

Has anyone had any success? Worked for one day.

Dan,

Any ideas?

HMm...I'll see about all those errors, but it is still running perfectly fine here.

No errors, etc. I just did a set device string on my device to "0". Checked, it said 0. Then I manually ran the script. It re-populated everything properly.

What version of Homeseer are you both on?
What is your zip code (if you don't want to post, e-mail it to me, so I can test)?
Can you screenshot your event that you made?

And yes, renaming, you should get a filename:
dwr_pollen.vb

When you create the event make sure it is a CAPITAL "Main"
that there is NO space between the two parameters (at the comma).
That is:
dwr_pollen.vb("Main","zipcode")

Tried a few other zips and they work. Doesn't like Springfield, IL zips
