Dave, have you ever considered making weather an "internal" part of PH? I
envision setup options to set the location and weather service, and a
collection of ph formulas that return different aspects of the current weather
and forecast. Maybe once an hour ph polls the weather service to get the
latest current conditions/forecast. Might be something that would be really
cool for an upcoming release. Just a thought.

Peter,
Glad to hear you got the plugin working and weather1 trigger is firing. I suspect the weather2 trigger is having a problem because the regexsearch may not be matching. If the regex search does not match (and hence doesnt return data), then the trigger won't fire. It may be best to split the regex searches into their own separate searches (and therefore separate triggers) so a problem with one aspect of the search doesnt affect the other searches.
The original regex I gave you for trigger 2 was:
[URL_1_2]
regexsearch=<label>Pressure:</label>[\s\S]*?<b>(.+)</b>[\s\S]*?<label>Windchill:</label>[\s\S]*?<span>(.+)</span>[\s\S]*?<label>Humidity:</label>[\s\S]*?<div class="b">(.+)</div>[\s\S]*?<label>Visibility:</label>[\s\S]*?<span>(.+)</span>
You could change this to:
[URL_1_2]
regexsearch=<label>Pressure:</label>[\s\S]*?<b>(.+)</b>
[URL_1_3]
regexsearch=<label>Windchill:</label>[\s\S]*?<span>(.+)</span>
[URL_1_4]
regexsearch=<label>Humidity:</label>[\s\S]*?<div class="b">(.+)</div>
[URL_1_5]
regexsearch=<label>Visibility:</label>[\s\S]*?<span>(.+)</span>
Of course, you would have to adjust a couple of other parms in the INI file to allow for 5 triggers (instead of 2). This way, if weatherunderground makes a change and is not reporting the windchill at that particular time or they change the structure so that it doesnt exactly match the original regex, you'll at least get the components that match.
Hope this helps,
Dave.

So the scrapecount has to be adjusted to 5 and for each Regexmatch the value will be in LOCAL1? Command1 through 5 and option1 through 5 is that correct? Thus there will be 5 seperate macros ...
Perhaps we can publish this in the repository when it is finished....
Keepya posted...

Nope, no dice
Only temperature, conditiion, windspeed and wind direction are matched...
Still weather1 is the only one that fires

Peter,
You're close. All the triggers should Command 1, options 1 thru 5. It should match the INI settings. [URL_1_4] equates to Command1, Option 4. If you had multiple URLs (we've only got one but you can add more by duplicating the appropriate sections and adjusting the URL count), you would have Commands above 1.
Give that a try and let me know.
Dave.

Freq is in minutes so 0.5 should be every 30 seconds.

Dave?
all of A sudden the weather plugin is invalid....
the eventlog says:
An error occurred while calling function PHPI_InitData for Plugin: WEATHER. The return code is: 1.
I have given the INI another name and reentered the pluging data in the explorer, I reregistered ph_URLScraper.ocx with regsvr32.... all attempts fail....

Hi Gang!
As you may have noticed, Weather Underground's mobile
site (notably used for this particular macro every
time) is lacking in one key piece of information if
you happen to be designing an irrigation algorithm.
Namely: Precipitation
Does anyone have any recommendations on the best way to
approach that? I need to take a daily precipitation
figure into consideration when raising my "saturation
point by zone" and know "today's precipitation
accumulation" is critical to that number.
I am considering using a local weather station on Weather
Underground and parsing that (it's an enormous block
of HTML though) since the content is so rich. The
station is a block away and part of a large school system
so I am thinking it will be a relatively permanent
(a.k.a., "reliable") installation.
...but if anyone had any other suggestions, my ears are
certainly open. 
-S

S,
Only thing I can think of is that you must use a URL that returns the information that you want. If a local wunderground station has that info (and they remain consistent with their format...you don't want to constantly be editing your regex statements), then I would just use that.
Dave.

I actually signed up for the Weather Underground API and used the API to get what I want. You are limited in the number of calls and stuff, but I have my script that gathers weather data poll the API every 5 minutes and storing the data in a MySQL database, so I don't have minute by minute data, but it's good enough for me until I eventually make my own weather station :) With the 5 minute polling, I still have plenty of calls leftover for randomly testing stuff out.

Dave- trying mightly to get the URL Scraper Plugin working.
Trying to determine if my home alarm status is armed, or disarmed.
The HTML looks like this...
Code:
| ..... </TD><TD BGCOLOR=#000000><SPAN TITLE="CLOSED: ">28</SPAN></TD><TD BGCOLOR=#000000><SPAN TITLE="CLOSED: ">29</SPAN></TD><TD BGCOLOR=#000000><SPAN TITLE="CLOSED: ">30</SPAN></TD><TD BGCOLOR=#000000><SPAN TITLE="CLOSED: ">31</SPAN></TD><TD BGCOLOR=#000000><SPAN TITLE="CLOSED: ">32</SPAN></TD></TR></TABLE>< /TD><TD VALIGN=TOP><H2>System Status</H2><TABLE BORDER=1> <TR><TD>System</TD><TD BGCOLOR="LIME">Ready </TD><TD > </TD><TD WIDTH=200px><P><FORM ACTION=2 METHOD=GET><INPUT TYPE=HIDDEN NAME=A VALUE=3> & nbsp; & nbsp; <INPUT TYPE=SUBMIT VALUE=ARM><input type=hidden name=p value=1><SPAN CLASS=LITTLE>USER CODE</SPAN><INPUT TYPE=PASSWORD MAXLENGTH=6 SIZE=6 NAME=X></FORM></P></TD></TR> ; </TABLE></TD></TR><TR>& lt;TD CLASS=SP COLSPAN=2></TD></TR><TR><TH COLSPAN=2>Security Settings</TH></TR><T |
|
|
where I am looking for a "Ready" (Alternatively the color may be RED followed by "Armed".
I just want to tell the difference.
My URL Scrape code is...
Code:
[config]
urlcount=1
[URL_1]
url=http://user:user@192.168.1.81/
freq=0.5
scrapecount=2
[URL_1_1]
regexsearch=<TD BGCOLOR="LIME"(.+) </TD>
regexoccur=1
regexflags=0
[URL_1_2]
regexsearch=<TD BGCOLOR="RED"(.+) </TD
regexoccur=1
regexflags=0 > |
|
|
but I am getting no Triggers.
Any pointers on how to get a Trigger.
Actually if I can just get a success on the color "Red" that is all I need. I don't need anything returned except a successful match, or not. I don't need any string data returned.

Did a re-Init and apparently the URL Scrapper started for the first time but it threw an error of -2.
What are the error code meanings?

Ken,
Can you post the text of the error message? There are several sections of code where an error can occur and I'll need to know the text to know which section to check.
Thanks,
Dave.

Dave-
This URL Scraper PlugIn is awesome, but I must say the extraordinary capability creates a bit of a learning curve wall.
Can you suggest a good way to debug what "results" are achieved with a search. In PH one could just set a LOCAL to the results of a search and ph_msgbox() it to see what happened.
With the Scraper, one has no clue what is happening when a Trigger doesn't fire, thus making it difficult to debug.
Is the only way to get output to see, to write a small VB pgm to print out the search results, or is there an easier way?
