Possible to parse weather container UI7?

Developer's Corner Scene Scripting

Without having to install additional plug-ins, is it possible to parse the UI7 dashboard weather container to get the current temperature? I’m wanting to write some LUUP code in my HVAC scheduled scenes to determine if it needs to be set to HEAT or COOL depending on the current outside temperature. An example of the code in HTML from the dashboard page is below. I have used other languages to parse doc elements but I’m still not fully understanding VeraLite capabilities without additional plug-ins or additional sensors. I would want to parse inside div ID “weather_container_temperature_value” to get 42 in a variable.

doc element output:

[b]
42[/b]?f

bump.
Can anyone specify how to use the external weather which is shown in the dashboard on ui7 in Lua?

I know you don’t want to use a plugin, but WeatherUnderground has a great one with tons of data, and most likely weather station super close to you compared to the one that Vera is using.

In the end that’s what I did. I’m just trying to not overload my Vera.

Cool. Just that Vera is so buggy and WU is really great, there’sno reason not to. And WU is pretty low memory usage.
