Re: [asterisk-users] AGI to announce temperature from weather.com XML file
It appears I opened some flood gates when I offered my 'alternative' version. So, rather than send hundreds of e-mails out - here's the link : http://www.dv-ip.com//downloads/files/misc/weather.txt Any questions - just 'yell'.

[asterisk-users] AGI to announce temperature from weather.com XML file
I would like to have the ability to have Asterisk announce the temperature -- not using TTS -- within the dialplan. For a non-Asterisk project, I have a cron job that periodically pulls down an XML file from weather.com containing local weather data (TWC's user agreement requires that data be cached locally). Using sed, I also create a text file that contains only the numeric value of the current temperature, created from that XML file (e.g. tmp65/tmp in the XML file becomes a text file with 65 as its only contents).

Check this one out. developed for AstLinux, it ought to be close to what you want. depending on your version, you may need to modify sound file references http://lonnie.abelbeck.com/astlinux/info/weather.php John Novack Trevor Hammonds wrote: I would like to have the ability to have Asterisk announce the temperature -- not using TTS -- within the dialplan.
