I have been using a custom made API handler for my EZ-B projects. After reading a bit on the forums I thought I would make it a bit more user friendly and see if any one here would be interested in using it.
This is the settings screen. you would put your zipcode and your Wunderground API key. ( you can get one free from Weather underground )
put in the settings for the computer and port you want to connect to.
The Say screen is were you would have the DT Ezb Weather speak the weather. there is also a template of how you want your bot to say. You can also select a variable to set with this text as well.
Here you can select what information you want pass to your ez scripting and what variables to use.
The last tab allows you to select any ezbscript command you want to run on completion of the weather update.
I have not shared this as of yet so if anyone would like to try it out and help me shape it for public use please let me know.

I noticed a few download, please let me know how it working for you and if i should add or enhance it any.
It seems to work fine when I ran it. But, I haven't got an EZB available. Waiting for the EZB4 to come in. I tried to just tie it to my IP address on my computer. But, that did not work. I guess it has to have an EZB connected to it. It is a nice little program that I think will benefit many. Could you possibly make small changes and use it for News, Horoscope, Thought for Today, This day in History, Joke for today, etc. ? that would be nice.
Thanks for all of your efforts.
I don't believe it needs an EZB attached to work... It runs with ARC. You only need an EZB4 if you want the weather spoken through the ezb4 speaker instead of the PC speaker...
Really. I will have to try it again.
I tried it, but it said "Unknown script newWeather" and it tried to run it.
Do you have a script in ARC called "newWeather" .... That could be your problem... You need to write a script in ARC to extract the information from the apps variables....
The IP it is looking for may be the IP and Port of ARC to pass the variables back to ARC. I havent had a chance to play with this yet, but plan to soon.
It doesn't seem to like Canadian postal codes...
