Programming i!-Weather

i!-Weather

Examples

To retrieve New York’s weather by zip code:

SEND_COMMAND vdvWEATHER," ’WEATHER BY ZIP-10101’ "

To set the i!-WeatherEngine speed format to knots:

SEND_COMMAND vdvWEATHER," ’SPEED-KNOTS’ "

To request the i!-WeatherEngine’s temperature format:

SEND_COMMAND vdvWEATHER," ’TEMPERATURE’ "

The i!-WeatherEngine will respond by sending a STRING on the vdvWEATHER device:

SEND_STRING vdvWEATHER, " ‘TEMPERATURE-FARENHEIT’ "

Any command unrecognized by the i!-WeatherEngine module will send an error notification by a

DO_PUSH on VIRTUAL_CHANNEL_ERROR_UNHANDLED_COMMAND (248), and it will return a

SEND_STRING to the vdvWEATHER device. Below is the actual code that is executed when the

command received is not recognized:

//PULSE VIRTUAL DEVICE ERROR STATUS

DO_PUSH_TIMED(vdvWEATHER,VIRTUAL_CHANNEL_ERROR_UNHANDLED_COMMAND,5)

//UNHANDLED COMMAND

SEND_STRING vdvWEATHER, "'[UNHANDLED COMMAND] -',DATA.TEXT"

//DEBUG

IF([vdvWEATHER,VIRTUAL_CHANNEL_DEBUG])

SEND_STRING 0, "'UNHANDLED COMMAND: [',DATA.TEXT,']'"
