Sending Routine Weather Reports

You can configure Weather Display to send a routine weather report to a set of email

addresses on a user specified schedule. Two separate groups of addresses, each with their

own schedule, may be set up.

1. €Make sure the main internet switch is ON in FTP/Internet Setup, Connections Setup.

2. €Click on "Setup" in the menu bar, then control panel.

3. €Click on "Weather Report Email".

4. €Find the input field labeled "Enter email address". Enter you own email address (you

can remove it later if you like).

5. €Click on the button labeled ">".

6. €You may import your Warning email address list by clicking on the button labeled

"Import List From Warning List".

7. €In the appropriate boxes, enter your station name, i.e. FredsBackYard, your email

address, and the name of the email server you use. Also enter any necessary User ID and

Password.

8. €Click the Red Switch on the right. It should turn to green, indicating Report email is

now enabled.

9. €Click on the button labeled "Test". Wait a minute or so, and check your incoming email.

You should have received a report from Weather Display.

10. €Return to the input field labelled "Enter email address". For each address you wish to

send the report to, enter the complete address and click on the button labeled ">". At

this point you may remove your own address, but it is recommended that you leave it in

the list so that you can see what the other addressees are receiving.

11. €Find the group labeled "Weather Report Times" on the left side of the page.

12. €Set up the time(s) for the report and click on the button labeled ">". You may have as

many times in the list as you wish, but the same list of times applies to each day that you

select.

You may add one or more attachments to the report. For example, you could attach the

NOAA (or equivalent) forecast if you are currently downloading it. You could also attach

your webcam image. Be cautious though, not all addressees will appreciate receiving too

much material.

Custom reports

You can create your own report design using Weather Display's custom tags. You might

create a custom report if you prefer to receive other informat than that provided in the

default Weather Display report format.

1. €Using a text editor, create a file named "customweatherreport.txt" in your

"wdisplay/webfiles" directory.

2. €In this file, layout whatever format you like using the methods described in → Using

Custom Tags.

3. €Go to Setup menu and select "Setup FTP/Internet/..."

4. €Click the tab labeled "Weather Report Email"

5. €Click the red button at the bottom labelled "Use a custom report ...". The button will

turn green.

Here is a sample "customweatherreport.txt":

1 2 ... 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 ... 190 191
