This is a macro to get local weather alerts. The only problem that I can see is that this uses polling, and sometimes warnings are issued only minutes before the event is to occur.

Create a new Global Variable called "CURWWA", and update your zone info in the ph_geturl line. Zone info is available here by drilling-down to your location (click on the correct XML button).

WWA2

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I'm still new at this. What's the difference between the "WWA 2" and the "WWA2" macros? I can't seem to see a difference.

Also, I was wondering if you could help me out with figuring something out. I setup a timed event to run this macro "WWA 2" every 5 minutes. What I'd like to do is kick off a macro I created (flashes a light a few times) if a new warning is issued. Any idea how I could do that?

Thanks for any help!

I store the context of the alert I am using in a global and compare it to the new to see if there is a change. If so I then create a time event for a newer wwa2. If not then the next time event is created for much later.

If you put your macro call at the end, it should work. The 2nd to last line looks for a change.
