I'm using the widget on my PC and using my PWS for data.

Everything displays well except for UV and Solar, neither showing any data. A greyed out 'UV Index ?' shows on the right pane. And nothing relating to solar. I'm using Weather Display as the data source on my PC which uploads to my weather page.

I've posted this issue on the WD forum with no responses. I'm not sure if it is a WD issue, but I think it is. Is anyone else seeing this problem?

Here's the customyowindows.txt file:

Code: Select all

<!-- %stationname% %date% %time% -->
<!-- Remove auto_update section if wanting the default, otherwise in seconds -->
<!-- Remove snow section if not inputting snow -->
<!-- Remove the uv and solar tags if those sensors aren't present -->
<response>    
  <current_weather> 
    <auto_update>
      <interval value="300"/> 
    </auto_update>  
    <temperature>
      <current value="%tempinmetric%"/> 
      <feels_like value="%feelslikeincelsius%"/> 	  
    </temperature>

      <gusts value="%maxgustlastmininm/s%"/> 	  
      <direction value="%dirdeg%"/> 
    </wind> 
    <sky> 
      <icon id="%iconnumber%" format="wd"/> 
      <description value="%weatherreport%"/> 
      <precipitation> 
        <rain>
          <rate value="%currentrainratemm%"/>
          <daily_total value="%dayrnmm%"/>
        </rain>	  
      </precipitation> 
    </sky> 
    <uv value="%VPuv%"/uv> 
    <solar radiation="%currentsolarpctplain%" energy="%VPsolar%"/solar>    
  </current_weather> 
</response>

And the resultant yowindow.xml file:

Code: Select all

<response>
<current_weather>
  <temperature value="23.4"/>
  <humidity value="64"/>
  <pressure value="1017.2"/>
<wind>

</wind>
<sky>
  <icon id="5" format="wd"/>
  <description value="overcast"/>
  <precipitation>
    <rain rate="0.0" daily_total="0.0"/>
   </precipitation>
  </sky>
 </current_weather>
</response>

Brian at Weather Display fixed the xml file based on the txt file.

Unfortunately, the fix seems to have broken the YoWindow weather parser as it now reports 'No Weather'. Here's the latest xml file with the uv and solar fix.

If I remove the uv and solar tags, the weather displays.

Code: Select all

<!-- Remove auto_update section if wanting the default, otherwise in seconds -->
<!-- Remove snow section if not inputting snow -->
<!-- Remove the uv and solar tags if those sensors aren't present -->

    <uv value="0.0"/uv> 
    <solar radiation="13" energy="25"/solar>    
  </current_weather>

I think the problem is with the closing tags for those two. Instead of

<uv value="0.0"/uv>
<solar radiation="13" energy="25"/solar>

try

<uv value="0.0"/>
<solar radiation="13" energy="25"/>

The format and examples can be found at http://yowindow.com/doc2/yowindow_pws_format.xml

Thanks for the information.

I had left the '/uv' and the '/solar' in the txt file when I was attempting to get it to work.

Removing those causes the xml file to again work.

UV now displays in my weather.

The solar information does not and I don't see where this can be set. There's no tick box for solar in the options ==> vies ==> weather inspector area.

Solar information is not displayed on Yowingow window for now, but when it is, no one knows, I never.

Thanks, that explains it.
