NOAA Weather Plus discussions

[FlyingDiver]

Please don't use screen captures for code. Put the code into "Code" blocks. It's in the middle of the green "Selection style" bar above the edit window.

that should be:

Code: Select all

theTemperatureV = indigo.variables[1708239780] #MinTemperatureVariable
dev = indigo.devices[23142400] #Weather Plus Station
if dev.states['minTemp2ndNight'].floatValue() < theTemperatureV.floatValue():
    return True
else: 
    return False

The "[]" syntax is for elements of a dict, which is what "dev.states" is. Parenthesis are for calling functions. You also need to make sure what you're comparing are real numbers (floats).

Heh, I edited my answer at the same time you were posting that.

[DaveL17]

Heh - nobody is going to know what you're talking about because I deleted my post!

Thank you, thank you FlyingDiver and will know about capturing the code
Much appreciated! Eric

Just tried it FlyingDiver and getting the error "embedded script:'unicode' object has no attribute 'floatValue'.
Is it because the variables are unicode (I am pretty sure theTemperatureV would be, not sure what the state minTem2ndNight extraction format would be) or ... ?
(I tried to google this error but did not get much relevant
Thank you for your help and teaching!
ps: just copied and pasted your code without any change ....

Code: Select all

theTemperatureV = indigo.variables[1708239780] #MinTemperatureVariable
dev = indigo.devices[23142400] #Weather Plus Station
if dev.states['minTemp2ndNight'].floatValue() < theTemperatureV.floatValue():
    return True
else: 
    return False

[FlyingDiver]

I may have gotten that syntax wrong. Dave's way would probably have worked;

Code: Select all

theTemperatureV = indigo.variables[1708239780] #MinTemperatureVariable
dev = indigo.devices[23142400] #Weather Plus Station
if float(dev.states['minTemp2ndNight'].value) < float(theTemperatureV.value):
    return True
else: 
    return False

[Ericbo]

Thanks a lot FlyDiver, tried, got the same error, adjusted a bit after some reading and got the following without syntax error. Will now confirm if it works as expected
Thank you for the help!

Code: Select all

theTemperatureV = indigo.variables[1708239780] #MinTemperatureVariable
dev = indigo.devices[23142400] #Weather Plus Station
if float(dev.states['minTemp2ndNight']) <  theTemperatureV.value:
    return True
else: 
    return False

Wondering if you have experience with Weather Plus not returning the expected forecast temperature...
I am getting an embedded script error when converting the temperature string to float. So i assume it is just not returning the usual temperature.
I will have to test for that in the script (error post, script post). Thank you for your inputs
Note: I am testing all the forecasted temperature to see if the temperature is dropping ...

What are the actual states of the device when you get the error? You can show them in the Indigo UI by dragging the dimple up.

I'm now getting these error messages too

Are you on an older OS (pre-High Sierra) as well? If so, that's expected. Now.

I started getting these error messages late in the day on Jan. 21st. While I am running on Sierra and not High Sierra, I find it curious that the same version of the plug-in on the same Mac mini had been running just fine until Jan 21, and no changes were made to any of my configuration.

Update: I just read the thread regarding OS level support for TSL and NOW. I get it. I had dreaded an OS upgrade on my late 2012 mini, but the writing is on the wall.

The change was made server-side (at NOAA) to require the newer version of SSL/TLS. This is totally the expected behavior.
