[Deprecated] Weather Dot Gov - Gathering data from weather.gov

Looking at the location of your 'menu' icon, you're probably using Smartly, I use it too. I've talked to @spelcheck about it and I put in place the adjustments they wanted/needed. Now waiting for him to put in the fix on the Smartly side.

BTW, the tile works perfect within a 'normal' dashboard. :wink:

Be sure you are also on the latest version of Weather dot gov! Dashboard attributes should all start with 'bpt-'

  • update weather dot gov
  • run reports
  • go to dashboard and re-select the attributes you want to display

Thanks

edit: just fixed a booboo too. New version on Github

Another topic about the html in the past logs.

Thanks!

Is there any way to change from military time to 12 hour format for the last updated? Thanks.

I'll add it to the list

For anyone else who relies on a field that returns "no data", I have set a variable and check against the last known good temperature to get around the weather.gov website being unavailable. Now my thermostat is more stable at setting itself relative to the outside temperature.

Thank you very much @bptworld for your diligence and hard work.

Thanks, @taylotr (and, of course, @bptworld). I'm trying to get historical precipitation but I have never seen anything but no data.

I've tried random locations with no better result. Is this ever provided? Or have I just screwed up the install?

It's up to each individual station to what they provide. I just grab everything they offer and if it's blank, I add a 'No data'.

OK, It is once again probably something I am doing wrong, I just installed Weather Dot Gov and I am having an issue getting the Current data tile to display. The tile device shows the data, but I do not see an attribute listed in the Attribute Template. Am I using the correct template? All other states from the tile device seem to appear in the list, but not currentDataTile. I have deleted and reloaded the app and devices.

Any suggestions?

Updated Tile Driver to 1.0.7 this morning and just noticed that my dashboard tiles are showing data from this morning from before I update Tile Driver. If I look at the Data and Tile devices the data is current with the most recent updates but that is not what I'm seeing on the dashboards. Seeing the same thing on three different devices with different browsers and the app so not a local cache issue with browser.

I rebooted the hub but issue is still there.

Any suggestions Bryan?

I noticed that I have to switch attributes they now start with bpt-

From my dashboard when I look at the attributes I see currentDataTile (what I was using) and now bpt-currentDataTile (what I switched to for current data). Looking at the Tile device there is on bpt-currentDataTile.

Yup, always important to read the version notes I post.

If you want to 'clean up' the device, you'll need to delete it and recreate it. That's the only way to remove device attributes.

I just installed your app and am getting around to configuring the child, and when i change the font to 10 instead of 15, it only changes 1 number and not the whole tile's text.. I know i have to be missing something.. here's a screen shot of the different fonts:

(15pt font)

(10pt font)

thank you for your awesome app!!
