Premise Weather Radar Images / Web Cams

[Grizzy]

Gang
I am new to Premise, and am very impressed with it. For years I used HomeSeer, then tried HouseBot, Mister House and others. After moving a few years ago I didn't set up HS until about a month ago and started searching for something better.
I have downloaded the TWCiWeather and it is very nice, is there a way to add another screen with radar, sat, and other images??? This would also do me for usb web cams on my system.

Any help or suggestions ar where to start is greatly appreciated.

Grizzy, welcome to the Premise forum!

There are several ways to accomplish what you've requested. For starters, check out the WebFrames module posted on the old forum.

At the very bottom of this post, there's a Module for a Dlink camera. With some tweaking it can serve as the basis for other brands of web-cams.

Thanks for the help. I really love this program; it has all the bells and whistles.
Is there any way to use the MealMaster data within Premise ?? I have it working im Meedio, but I would love to ditch Meedio for the Kitchen Computer.

I'm not familiar with MealMaster. If it has a web-interface, you can probably display it within an IFrame in Premise Browser. This is the operating principle used by the WebFrames and Dlink Modules.

If you plan to operate web apps in an IFrame, you'll probably find that the available screen space is limited by Premise browser's native resolution of 800x600 pixels. You may want to apply the 1024x768 upgrade (documented here) to expand the available display area.

If you want to display a weather map, have a look at this post on the CQC forum. The post describes the URL needed to display an animated weather map based on data from the Weather Channel. I incorporated it in my custom weather module (Environment Canada Weather).
