Hello all,
I have uploaded a new and final Beta before I put out the first release.
I'm am working on the documentation at this time but its very self explanatory.
The minimum information you need to provide its ..
1 . Host information for your ARC TCP Port and Host IP 2. Your ZipCode 3. A underground weather key , there is a get key button in the program .
Look around .. I will post a video later today showing how to set it up and some of the features. I think most of you will have no issue running it .

If you need any help or would like to see a change before the final release please drop me a note on this thread.

looking how you are using the script to start the weather app, I think we need a check box to say auto start on application start. so when you load the weather app it can just start working with out user interaction.
I think that is great idea.

Just started to look at having my robot aware of the weather. This API looks interesting.
Does your Dt Ezb Underground Weather Api Muncher handle Weather Alerts?
@RobertL184 - yes indeed. HippieGeek made a very nice weather app to work with ARC. Once you configure the app it will pull weather data and adjustable intervals. In ARC you can then use that data as you see fit. You can have it give you just the temp or a whole weather report and forecast.
I think it's awesome!
@RobertL184 Hello and thank you @justinRatliff for responding to @RobertL184
I had though about weather alerts and could have it in the app. but I decided that Emergency weather info is best left to an alert radio like a Midland Weather Radio or something like that. As a father of 5 children I did not think it was safe to rely on any internet tech for Emergency type weather reports.
You can download the source code and modify it if you like. I just don't believe there is a reliable way to deliver this type of information over the internet.
I would be happy to help you if you determine you would like to add this as a feature to your custom program but I do not believe it is a good Ideal to put it out as part of the Weather Underground API Muncher.
I downloaded your app and installed it. It works great with ARC. For Weather Alerts I wasn't thinking of it being a replacement for a Weather Radio. I was more thinking of my robot saying "There is a weather alert for your area!" Doesn't hurt to have an additional way to be notified of bad weather. I have a weather alert app for my phone as well, but I don't always have the phone on me. It does need to be be charged occasionally.
nice use the forecast as weather undergound places alerts in it as well
