Weather via wxer.pl - Weather conditions

[spoonman]

This may be a dumb questions, but does this wxer.pl require the underground.pm script??

Thanks

[spoonman]

Does it generally take a while to populate the data part of the graphs, I get the Underground.pm file, i can run perl against it for my zip, i get data back, but have yet to se that data reflected on the grpahs, still says nan.

Any ideas?

Hello there - thanks for the work on this script...it works great from the CLI:

Code: Select all

$ juke scripts # ./wxer.pl 55434
wx_temp_f:57 wx_wind_speed:4 wx_pressure:29.82 wx_humidity:67 wx_wind_chill_f:

However, when I try and add it as a data imput method and add a input field , I get this:

Code: Select all

Error: This script appears to have no input values, therefore there is nothing to add.

Any ideas?

I've made a couple small modifications to the script to handle a couple anomolies in the Weather Undergound data.

Code: Select all

   # If there is no windchill, set it to the same as temperature
   if ($arrayref->[0]->{windchill_fahrenheit} == '') {
      $arrayref->[0]->{windchill_fahrenheit} = $arrayref->[0]->{temperature_fahrenheit}
   }
   
   # If the Wind is "Calm", set it to 0.
   if ($wx_wind_speed == "Calm") {
      $wx_wind_speed = '0'
   }

I inserted that just above the "# print output" comment.

Everything is working. Except for some strange reason, I have no scale on the y-axis in the Barometer graphs. The value is being returned and plotted. Any ideas anyone?

I just finished another weatherbug script. i didnt like the weatherbug module, so i just did an html scraper on my own. i have addressed the wind chill/heat index problem so that shouldnt be a problem now.

let me know if you want any changes made.

script and templates are here: http://forums.cacti.net/viewtopic.php?t ... highlight=

Seems to me that the script stopped working last night / today...
Something must have changed at "Weather Underground" 'cause even with different placenames I get:

Code: Select all

Error, calling get_weather() failed: No matching places found

Anyone having the same..?

Same here

Same here

Bummer..!
Well, in the meantime I've dropped wxer.pl and started using the WeatherBug.pl-script for www.aws.com. That one works (for now).

Gone for me on the 6th at about 9pm GMT.
Seems to be totally not talking to wunderground.
Any tips to mod it to work again or best to switch to another script?

Great while it lasted...

is it possible to make graph from my own weather station ?, the weather data are on a html page...
Thanks

You would have to utilize the wget command I think. Need a custom script that emulates that of the current output format with some input information. Pretty simple, just need to research. I hope someone has the time.

I'd like to use this info as the weatherbug page doesn't update enough to use the weatherbug plugin...I find that with personal weatherstations and such you can get a lot more results with weather underground; however, there does not seem to be a way to get a windchill/heat index value as shown in examples here.

Anyone have any tips?
