I've been using the wunderground station at Depaul (I'm in Lincoln Park) and have been surprised how different it's reading are from weather.coms... As a matter of fact, I was just looking at Homeseer over the weekend as I have some Insteon switches that I'm looking to control via software (I think I'll probably end up doing a Insteon plugin for SlimServer too so I don't have to get up off the couch to control the lights...). But to address your question, have you looked at posting your Homeseer sensors to wunderground and then having SDT pull from there? A quick Google search for wunderground and homeseer produced many results. If not, it'd be pretty easy to write a new plugin that utilizes the new enhancements to the SS7 version of the plugin to display the info as a left/right item (like a Cubs game score). I'll probably eventually add an option to add up/down stuff, but I havent gotten to it yet. -Greg -- GoCubs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GoCubs's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=312 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=14327 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
