I'm attempting to use the NOAA script shipped with Indigo 4.1 and am receiving an error as follows:

tell application "IndigoServer"
log "ParseXML:System Events got an error: Some data was the wrong type.(-1703)" using type "Weather NOAA"

I've looked at the previous forum posts and this has previously pointed to an outdated request for some NOAA data no longer available. I've checked the calls and here is what I'm seeing:


property GetLocation : true
property GetStationID : true
property GetObservationTime : true
property GetWeatherCondition : true

property GetTempString : true
property GetTempF : true
property GetTempC : false

property GetRelativeHumidity : true

property GetWindString : true
property GetWindDirection : true
property GetWindDegrees : true
property GetWindMPH : true
property GetWindGustMPH : false -- Removed from NOAA XML file

property GetPressureString : true
property GetPressureMB : true
property GetPressureIN : true

property GetDewpointString : true
property GetDewpointF : true
property GetDewpointC : false

property GetHeatIndexString : false -- Removed from NOAA XML file
property GetHeatIndexF : false -- Removed from NOAA XML file
property GetHeatIndexC : false -- Removed from NOAA XML file

property GetWindchillString : false -- Removed from NOAA XML file
property GetWindchillF : false -- Removed from NOAA XML file
property GetWindchillC : false -- Removed from NOAA XML file

property GetVisibility : false -- Removed from NOAA XML file 7/31/2009

Any idea what could be wrong?

The latest version of the script should automatically detect when data is missing from the XML feed and ignore it (it will insert a note in the event log). Not sure what's going on with yours - I've still got mine running and it seems to be working correctly. I suppose that NOAA may be having a data issue with the feed for your station.

I'd try:

1) Rebooting - the System Events app can get into strange states so it may be the culprit
2) Change to a different station - just for debugging to see if it's specific to your station

You nailed it with the station change. The one I had is no longer reporting apparently.

Thanks.
