Question about "My Weather" Portlet in Dashboard Screenshots

[chago2013]

The following page on the Universal Devices web site has a link to 14 screen shots of the UIs for the Admin Console and the ISY Dashboard.

Shots #9 and #10 show a portlet named "My Weather" that includes weather forecast information.

 

My understanding is that the Weatherbug module only provides current information. Is my understanding incorrect? Does the forecast info come from the module or from somewhere else?

 

Thanks!

Hi chago2013,

 

The forecasts are pulled directly from the UI and are not included in ISY.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

I'm not sure I understand your answer. The forecasts are pulled from what UI?

[Michel Kohanim]

Yes. It has nothing to do with ISY.

 

With kind regards,

Where do they come from? I'm interested in using forecasts in my programs.

Hi chago2013,

 

They come from WeatherBug. i.e. The dashboard goes to WeatherBug and gets and displays them. This is unlike all other WB features that come from ISY. i.e. ISY goes to WeatherBug, collects information, and then uses them in programs. In short, there's no hook between what's in the dashboard and what's in ISY.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

If I understand you correctly, forecast data is available from Weatherbug. The Dashboard has the capability to use it; the ISY does not (like in programs, for example).

 

Is this correct?

[Michel Kohanim]

Yes.
