tmork Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 My dealer installed the weatherbug driver, however when I push the current button on my 4" touch screen I get a blank screen. When I push the forcast button I get the weather bug logo and the ok button but no forcast. Anyone have any ideas?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Go to the Weatherbug Properties page, and turn on the debug options, and see what it says.You have to have 3 things setup properly:1) The driver has to be addressed properly (api.wxbug.net)2) The Location Code has to be set correctly (to your zip code)3) The programming has to be setup properly (on your button press, it needs to tell the WeatherBug driver to get the forecast, and on the event of forecast received, it needs to do a popup with the info)RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmork Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Thanks Ryan for the quick response. Here is what the bebug said when I press the current button.Created packet for CompactLiveWeatherRSS: GET /getLiveCompactWeatherRSS.aspx?ACode=a5557396555&zipCode=Oakland, CA 94611&unittype=0 HTTP/1.0User-Agent: C4WeatherBug/1.00Accept: */*Host: a5557396555.api.wxbug.netConnection: CloseConnected...

RyanE Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Not quite right yet...Created packet for CompactLiveWeatherRSS: GET /getLiveCompactWeatherRSS.aspx?ACode=a5557396555&zipCode=Oakland, CA 94611&unittype=0 HTTP/1.0Is "Oakland, CA 94611" a Zip Code? It should ONLY be the zip code. i.e. Go back to the properties page, and set the Location Code (Zip) to be 94611. The name is only for reference purposes.This is a common mistake, and I probably should improve the docs a bit to clarify.Hopefully, that should do it for you.Cheers.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanE Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 You have to use the teeny weeny scrollbar on the right side of the screen. I use my fingernail.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellisol Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Probably more of a question for Ryan though if anyone else knows that would be great. Does the weatherbug work for UK post codes ? Thought I would give it a go at the weekend but ask the question first before I spend hours trying to get it to work!!Or if anyone that has it set up and wants to give it a go an example of a UK post code is SS6 7LAcheersAndrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R_Willis Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I seem to have mine working pretty well, if others need help, feel free to contact me.My scroll bar on the forecast page doesn't respond well, and the mini-touch wheel doesn't work to scroll, but other then that, pretty cool!Thanks Ryan and anyone who helped out on this project.

Intellisol Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 Thanks ... I don't suppose there is any documentation for setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intellisol Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Just in case this wasn't noticed over the weekend I was wondering if there is any documentation for this ?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyanE Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 There really isn't.It was created as an 'example' driver for DriverWorks.I've posted setup instructions before on the Control4 Dealer Website, but don't know where those instructions are ATM.Basically, you setup custom buttons, and have those custom buttons call the commands on the WeatherBug driver.Then you program announcements or device popups on your Navigator devices for when the WeatherBug events fire.You send the SUMMARY variables to the popup or announcement, they're a table of data that the Navigators can display.RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjj31a Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I am sorry for my ignorance on this one but what is the weatherbug driver and where can I get it? My dealer hasn't heard of it.Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intellisol Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Your dealer can do a driver search in composer 1.6, where they will find a driver called weatherbug created by RyanE. The driver allows you to see the current and forecast weather for your location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
