    Hometroller plugin for Canadian weather?

    Hi folks, can anyone recommend a Canadian weather plugin for the Hometroller Zee?
    I would be giddy if I could tie events to weather notices etc.

    Thanks
    Steve

      Thanks Freeon - is there any documentation available somewhere?
      I found some steps that said to copy it to my Homeseer folder, which I did, and then the plugin appeared in my list. But after doing a restart, I still didn't see any new devices.

      Did I miss some steps?

      Thanks

        Did you go into plugin/envcan/feeds and configured it?

          I did. Don't know if I created the entry correctly.
          I used
          https://weather.gc.ca/rss/city/on-54_e.xml
          as the Atom feed entry and then enabled it and don't know what's next.
          My log file shows
          Jul-20 8:06:37 PM envcan error in feed: https://weather.gc.ca/rss/city/on-54_e.xml - Error getting response stream (Write: The authentication or decryption has failed.): SendFailure[/I][/I]

          Are there any sample screenshots available anywhere that might help?
          Am I close?
          Thanks in advance

            Here is a screenshot of mine. I installed it 3 years ago and haven't touched since. I don't remember all the steps I did to get it to work.

              And then the device(s) just showed up?
              Rats - feel like I'm so close.
              I tried using Toronto for a mainstream one.
              Going to add Moncton since we know that works, because you're using it.
              I appreciate the screenshot - helps me know I'm close.....I think.

                Progress!
                I entered the Moncton feed and it worked!
                So the Toronto and Pickering ones weren't working.
                That made me look at the version I had since there were some other posts here about feed errors that had been fixed and noticed that I was using an old version.
                I just deleted it and installed 3.0.0.17 (think I had 3.0.0.4)
                Fingers crossed while it reboots.

                Ahhh! This version has sample feeds already in there - fabulous help!
                Getting closer!

                  Yes from what I remember all the devices just showed up.

                    Unfortunately, only the Moncton one worked for me but is of no use to me.
                    For Toronto, Pickering and Montreal, my log says

                    Jul-21 9:02:19 AM envcan error in feed: https://meteo.gc.ca/rss/city/qc-147_f.xml - Error getting response stream (Write: The authentication or decryption has failed.): SendFailure

                    Just tried Oshawa too but same error.
                    Seems like I'm teasingly close but out of ideas.
                    If anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears
                    Thanks

                      I would post in the thread for the plugin, so that there's a better chance that the author of the plugin sees your posts. FWIW, I just tried some of the feeds that aren't working for you and they do work for me. You may want to try the non-ssl link instead (ie. http://weather.gc.ca/rss/city/on-54_e.xml instead of https://weather.gc.ca/rss/city/on-54_e.xml).

                      Cheers

                        SCORE!!!
                        That did the trick!
                        As soon as I changed the URL to HTTP, it worked!
                        Helluva great way to start the weekend!
                        Much thanks, Al! (and Freeon)

                            HI Al, This may be a stupid question but which forum would that be? I don't seem to see a forum specifically for the EnvCan weather feed. Can you suggest the best place as I have more questions for the developer.
                            Thanks

                              I don't that there is a forum section for it. Just this post.
