Anyone have a clue ? I cant figure it out!

AWRefreshRate is a fixed value and will not change.
Have you defined this variable yourself or was it generated automatically via the attachment script?

I defined it myself. Set it to 600.

Its a nono to do that ?

Did you follow all the steps in the Read Me. Namely, did you install the XML Tools? There are quite a few other steps involved as well it looks like.

Yep, theres MANY steps I did install the XML tools and have also rebooted a couple of times. Also did an permissions check/repair an hour ago (none of this is in the readme, i just did it because its something ive never done(permissions)).

I'd suggest you start adding debug log lines (log to Indigo's Event Log) to the script until you isolate exactly which call is failing:

Code: Select all

log "got here 0001"

No. It's fine if you define it yourself.

Ok, I´ll give the debug thing a try. Never done that before. Is it as easy as you wrote, and it just shows up in Indigo´s log file ?

Yes. I would also add a tell IndigoServer prefix like this:

Code: Select all

tell application "IndigoServer" to log "got here 0001"

Been a long time since I messed with the AccuWeather script, don't remember much at all.

I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and the AccuWeather script produces errors:

I'm affraid the AccuWeather script is not compatible with Snow Leopard.
The reason is that it uses XML Tools and that piece doesn't work with SL.
We'll have to wait for an update that makes that part SL ready.
Until then you can't use the script.

But... the author of the XML Tools is already working on a fix and beta releases are available.
Please go to this link http://www.latenightsw.com/blog/?p=231 and try the beta for XML Tools.

Ah. OK. Thanks for the info.

Just out of curiosity, are there other methods to get local temperature beside the AccuWeather script?

The only reason I use it is that I use the temperature info to control a light I installed in a refrigerator to stop the contents from freezing during the winter here in Vermont.

Of course I could just stop using it during the winter, but it always seems the main refrigerator isn't big enough at times.

Thanks

There's also a NOAA Weather Script that uses another technique to fetch data. Maybe that works with Snow Leopard.

Yes, the NOAA script that ships with Indigo works on Snow Leopard. Be sure to get the latest version that ships with 4.1.1 - it has better error reporting.
