Ok, this was going to be a question as I couldn't find any documentation how to set things up for HSTouch (I checked the pdfs but couldn't find anything). Anyways, I realized that in order to get it working I had to click on the text elements in the designer for them to update. I am posting here anyways as it might help others.
* Under "Locations" I set up
Source = NOAA
Output XML file for HSTouch: yes
NOAA Weather Conditions: http:...[code].xml
NOAA Weather Forecast: Lat 37..., Lon -121 (negative for North America)
Weather Underground
Use Weather Underground for Extra: Yes
Weather Underground Location Info: API (sign up for WU and purchase an API for as little as $0. http://www.wunderground.com/weather/api/d/pricing.html)
Enter same lat/lon as above
* Under "Schedules" I set "Conditions", "Forecasts", "Hourly" and "Daily" to "Yes". For hourly I probably need to also setup Weather Underground.
* There is a "HSTouch" screen. I have no idea what to do there but I assume can leave this untouched since I did set "Output XML file for HSTouch" to yes.
* In HSTouch I created text elements for the various values. I set the properties to the following for the current temperature:
Status TrackingNormal: RSS Data
RSSUrlNormal: file://data/weatherxml/weatherXML_1.xml
RSSTableNameNormal: current
RSSItemNameNormal: temp_hst
RSSRowNumberNormal: 0
* For forecast values I set
RSSUrlNormal: file://data/weatherxml/weatherXML_1.xml
RSSTableNameNormal: day1 (day2, day3, etc)
RSSItemNameNormal: dayLow (dayHigh, dayName, etc)
RSSRowNumberNormal: 0
* For the image I set
RSSUrlNormal: file://data/weatherxml/weatherXML_1.xml
RSSTableNameNormal: current
RSSItemNameNormal: conditionIconUrl
RSSRowNumberNormal: 0
* For hourly I set
Status Tracking Normal: RSS Data
RSSUrlNormal: file://data/weatherxml/WUHourly1.xml
RSSTableNameNormal: FCTTIME
RSSItemNameNormal: civil (weekday_name_abbrev, temp, etc)
RSSRowNumberNormal: 12 (for 12h forecast)
* Under "Locations" I set up
Source = NOAA
Output XML file for HSTouch: yes
NOAA Weather Conditions: http:...[code].xml
NOAA Weather Forecast: Lat 37..., Lon -121 (negative for North America)
