    Yes, you would need to install a weather plugin. Check out my NOAA script as this formats nicely with webpage builder.

      a little off topic. when i set your web builder to load as default..
      when restarting homeseer, i noticed this
      "1/26/2009 4:36:47 AM - Warning - VB.Net script exception, re-starting: Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

      as long as default page is set to load buildage.ash, there will always be 1-3 of those messages. what gives??

      also I tried the NOAAweather.ini thing. code

      [Settings]
      NOAACode="WSAP"
      Path="http://weather.noaa.gov"
      Pathloc="/pub/data/observations/metar/decoded/"
      Imagepath="/images/NOAAWeather/"
      HN="54"
      HL="W"
      DateFormat="European"
      TempUnit="C"
      PressureUnit="mBar"
      WindspeedUnit="KPH"
      ShowCountry="True"
      DistanceUnit="Kilometers"
      Town="Your Town"

      [Data]

      nothing happens..
      i noticed the document said "
      Run the NOAA Weather event. All virtual devices are automatically created with a location name of "Virtual - NOAA Weather".


      how do i run it?

        It's a bug in Homeseer. Rename your ini file to Homepage.ini and then call the default page without any parameters i.e.

        buildpage.ash

        See if that helps.

        To run any script, you have to create an event to control it.

        Go to the events page and then press the add event button.

        Under the green name tab, enter the name of NOAA Weather. Make sure none of the options are ticked.
        Then press the Trigger tab and choose 'recurring' for the current trigger type.
        Make sure Mon - Sun are all ticked
        enter 60 in the minutes box and 0 in the seconds box
        Finally go to the action tab and select Run script.
        When the page appears, find the NOAAWeather.vb script in the list and then press the green update button. When the page refreshes, press the green save button.

        If you now look at the events page under recurring, you should see NOAA weather listed. Press the green run button and the script will fire. It will also fire every 60 mins.

          my file as it is , is already homepage.ini and am calling it without parameters.

          i tried to remove the links to the webcam and tried to restart.. same problem..
          the only way i can find to stop it are
          1) Require Password for Local Area Logins: YES
          or
          2) Use Custom Page 1 as Home Page: NO
          ---------------------------------

            So if you remove the webcam image from the page, it works OK?

              with or without the webcam image. it doesnt matter. as long as
              1) Require Password for Local Area Logins: YES
              or
              2) Use Custom Page 1 as Home Page: NO

              for now, the only way is to save as homepage http://atom/buildpage.ash to avoid the error message.
