RE: Homevision Question On Weather Data

["Dan Hoehnen" <dhoehnen@xxxxxxx>]

The script I wrote for ACE to get weather info could easily be modified to
forward the weather to HV.  This can be done by either executing ACE api
commands to send the data to HV, or by having the script write the data to
a
file in the proper format sot hat HV can read the file into variables (this
is a new feature, so you need the latest HV software for this to work).

I have HV, but have not yet done this.  I could help with getting it to
work
if you decide ACE is the answer.

HomeSeer may also be able to do this, but I don't use HomeSeer, so can't
help with it.

If you are not familiar with ACE, ace.honesoftware.com
