I'm seeing virtually the same error as peppop:

script error: Can't get item 2 of {"Dec3111:53amEST"}.
script error: error dispatching event to attachment script (-1753)script script error: Can't get item 2 of {"Dec3111:53amEST"}.

Yeah, my script is broken. It's a date formatting issue or something. Haven't had time to fix it.

Sorry.

I moved the script file on my website and forgot to update the link at the beginning of the thread. The link is corrected now.

If anyone could not download, please try again. Any problems, just PM me.

Not that I know of. The NOAA site does not include tide info in their broadcast. It's mainly for pilots and airports. You would have to pull it from another website.

Sorry.

A while ago I made the AccuWeather script based upon Threadhead's NOAA Weather script.
Although the idea of both scripts is the same, they are using different ways to collect and process the weather info.

Yesterday, sepstein asked if my AccuWeather script could be modified to fetch data from NOAA Weather. The reason is that Threadhead's script only works on OS X 10.4, where my AccuWeather script also works on OS X 10.3.

So I've made a NOAA Weather Script for all of you who are still running OS X 10.3.

NOAA Weather Script 2

Enjoy!

I just wanted to say thanks
Not only the scripts but also for the instructions and notes you offer with the scripts.
They are very concise and informative.

It has really helped me to have a better insight on the script workings.

I just set up an irrigation schedule based on polling the relative humidity
from the NOAA weather script.

So, there is no "cloudy" or "fair" field, only a condition. And to be honest, I don't know all the possibilities that could be expressed in the condition. Here in AZ, we only get to see one condition: sunny

NOAA lists all of the possible weather conditions here.

Also includes some graphics that you might want to include on a control page, eh?

Changing the observation time to be a applescript friendly format.
It's now an attachment and can be run using the function GetNOAAData().
It auto generates the trigger to run the function every 15 minutes. Just create startup action with the GetNOAAData function and that's all that should be needed.

How does one do that?

Sorry.

I made this work.

I commented out all of the stuff about ConvertDate ans SubDate and removed the one place where ConvertDate was called (the line that now reads set NextActionTime to (current date) + 15 * minutes)

It remains to be seen if the time still works, but if not, I can always to a Time/Date trigger.

I'm running the background task version "Weather NOAA sync" script. It was working great for a while. Now I get this error constantly:

May 17, 2007 10:25:37 AM
Weather NOAA Weather NOAA Script Started

May 17, 2007 10:25:52 AM
Weather NOAA GetXMLfile:URL Access Scripting got an error: AppleEvent timed out.(-1712)
Weather NOAA Weather NOAA Script Finished


Could you please tell me what this means? Thanks.

Also, to the guy who wrote the AccuWeather scipt, do you have a background task version? Thanks.

You can find it here.

Thanks, macpro!

Is it my imagination, or do you have

getItem(theCurrentConditions, "Humidity", "")

in the script twice?

No, it's not your imagination.
There are two lines to get humidity info.

[BS modus] I'll change the "read me" in the next release to give info when to use the first one and when to use the second one. [/BS modus]

I'm getting the same error as czvi was above,
GetXMLfile:URL Access Scripting got an error: AppleEvent timed out.(-1712)

Started sometime Saturday afternoon. I've tried changing NOAA locations (KNYC, KJFK, KLGA) to no avail. Anyone know what might be causing this ?

Thanks,

Ken

Since it's been a day or so, has the script started working again?
