WeatherSnoop Error

[GRWilde]

The WeatherSnoop Plugin seems to be gathering the correct information, but I am continually getting the following error in the event log:

WeatherSnoop Error Couldn't get site information from WeatherSnoop for device "WeatherSnoop" - check to see if WeatherSnoop is running correctly.

That's indicating that you have some kind of network issue (the failure is happening down in the Python network libraries). Some questions:

• What OS are you using?
• What Indigo version?
• What WeatherSnoop version?
• Is WeatherSnoop on the same Mac as Indigo?

[GRWilde]

I am using High Sierra 10.13,2 on a Mac Mini. I am using Indigo 7.1.1. I am using WeatherSnoop 3.2.1 also on the Mac Mini. The WeatherSnoop device is being regularly updated, but I am getting the error message every few minutes.

[jay (support)]

Did you notice when the errors began? Any correlation to OS upgrades?

As I said, it's down in the Python libraries so there's nothing we can do to fix it. I'm hesitant to just trap the error and ignore it because it seems to indicate some systemic issue.

[GRWilde]

The WeatherSnoop data itself in Indigo is updated about every 32 seconds. The error message occurs randomly - sometimes separated by as little as 1 minute and other times separated by over 20 minutes from the previous message. It is almost like the WeatherSnoop plugin is occasionally missing an update.

I did not previously see this message, but I have made several updates to WeatherSnoop, Indigo, and High Sierra recently and the error probably appeared after one of those updates.

[jay (support)]

Yeah, we poll every 30 seconds. According to the Python docs:

When true, the optional parameter strict (which defaults to a false value) causes BadStatusLine to be raised if the status line can’t be parsed as a valid HTTP/1.0 or 1.1 status line.

And given the empty string in the exception passed back (the two single quotes after BadStatusLine: in the last line of the exception you posted above), it looks like WeatherSnoop is periodically returning an HTTP response without a return status code line at all. I'll point this out to the WeatherSnoop guys for them to investigate.

Hi,

Jay alerted me to this forum thread.

GRWilde, you're running a slightly dated version of WeatherSnoop 3. Can you perform a "Check for Updates..." in the WeatherSnoop 3 menu to pull down the latest version which is 3.2.4 and then see if this issue persists on that version? I want to make certain you are on the latest version of the software.

[GRWilde]

Unfortunately, I am using the Mac App Store version of WeatherSnoop 3 and there does not appear to be any updates available.

[boisy]

GRWilde,

Send an email at [email protected] mentioning this message and we'll take care of that.

[GRWilde]

I am still getting the error every few minutes with WeatherSnoop 3.2.4. The WeatherSnoop data appears to be updating correctly,, but the error occurs at somewhat random times.

Hi Everyone,

I too see this error

I am running High Sierra latest version (as of 1/23/2018)
Indigo 7.1.1
Weather Snoop 3.2.4 (1182)
plugin 2.1.3

[swisskent]

I also have this error with WeatherSnoop 3.1.0.

If it is possible to have a WeatherSnoop 4 plug-in, I would upgrade.

My house depends on getting accurate detailed weather data, and Indigo keeps getting this error.

Did you upgrade to the latest WeatherSnoop 3 (3.2.4) as the developer requested above?

[swisskent]

I cannot locate the WS 3.2.4 updater file. WeatherSnoop errors out when I check for updates.

[swisskent]

I finally located a download of WeatherSnoop 3.2.4. This file is very difficult to find on the Internet, because Bombich has WS4 now. Earlier versions of WS3 would produce error messages. I tried the internal updater on different Macs and got the same result. Did they discontinue minor updates for WS3 because WS4 is now for sale?

So far, so good, with Indigo and WS 3.2.4. I'll check the log in the morning to see if there have been any errors overnight.
