Indigo Domotics

Hi, Dave, I noticed this error in my log about the same time yesterday (and then again today). Passing along to you in case it will help. Let me know if you need any other info. I'm on your latest version but yesterday I think I was still on .02 when I noticed the error in my log.

WUnderground Error Problem parsing 10-day forecast data. Error: (Line 1842 (float() argument must be a string or a number)

Thanks Norm - I will take a look. There seems to be something going on with the Weather Underground developer site right now--I can't even open a link to it.

Hi Norm - I can't recreate the error you're seeing. The next time you see it, could you please go to the WUnderground Plugin menu, and select "Write Weather Data to File". The location of the file will be written to the Indigo Event log. Please send that or an email address in a PM.

OK

I believe I was able to figure out what was causing the error -- Weather Underground should be sending all data as a string, but in this case, they were sending something else. I've added a trap to catch the error. I need to do a bit more research to determine if this is a permanent change or a special case. If WU has changed the structure of its API, I'll need to make some more changes.

Thanks, Dave, I'm busy doing an OS update today so not sure if the error came in today - I'll keep an I out for it....

Just FYI, between the million updates I had to do this AM. I did see the same error pop up but I was in the middle of too much stuff to mess with it, when I was finished with the OS updates I updated WU to version .04 and I did not see the error - I'll continue to monitor for it...

Thanks for the help with this.

Glad to hear it. Thanks for reporting back.

Hi Dave,

I've been getting the same error for a few days:

Seems like something has been changed. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

Hi Colly - thanks for reaching out. Are you seeing those errors with v6.0.4 of the plugin?

I'm on v1.1.15. Should I update to the latest version to check it?

@Colly - your call. There have been other enhancements and bug fixes since v1.1.15, and updating should also silence the most recent error messages.
