Lately I have been receiving the following error:

NOAA Weather Error exception in deviceStartComm(Weather): <urlopen error (8, 'nodename nor servname provided, or not known')>

That means that for some reason your Indigo server Mac can't connect to the NOAA server. In a browser, you should be able to go here:

Code: Select all

http://www.weather.gov/xml/current_obs/XXXX.xml
where XXXX is the station ID you selected for your device. It could be a DNS lookup error or a connection error. It didn't get as far as actually failing the HTTP request because you would have gotten a different error message.
