    LOCAL TEMPERATURE and WEATHER FORECAST Software Configuration    

The configuration of the local temperature and the weather forecast is done with the WEB interface accessible at the local IP of the Remote box or that of your Internet box (Public address)

After logging, goto the weather forecast menu :



   LOCAL TEMPERATURE CONFIGURATION    

Each menu of the remote display box diplay the time and local temperature, this one is gotten every ten minutes on a web site.

For Paris, it is gotten on http://www.meteo-paris.com/ile-de-france/station-meteo-paris/pro/. the content of the web site is saved in the file /var/tmp/MeteoFile.

Then, the file is parsed and we look for the string : <b><p><strong class=\"important style2> then : <, the temperature value is located between this two strings.

You will probably have to modify the subroutine GetTemperature into the source fcallbox.py to adapt to your site.
