Blue Iris Tools - Weather Overlay, Watchdog & more! 1.6.0

[bob2701]

I pushed out an updated, please update via BIT.

Had to reboot BIT for the update to take, when I checked for update it said there was one but when I tried to update it would not. Rebooted server and when I checked it asked if I wanted to upgrade, I said yes and all went well. Turned Weather Overlay back on and it works fine. Will keep an eye on it.

Thanks Mike

1. Just donated via PayPal, I believe in paying folks for their work.(Tims@proalertus.net/tshriver@email.com)

2. Don't like being jumped when I violated no rules. Questions are just that. They hurt no one.
You will turn folks off/away.

Peace to all....

The issue is that you are a newer user and keep asking for the same thing or complaining about 2 images in the app. Images for 1: the program you're already using and 2: the website you're already visiting. This could be what rubs people the wrong way. Ask once, and go about your business. A closed thread is still viewable and op already saw your request. Also, good will isn't good will if you need to publicly advertise it. Good day, sir.

Now, back on topic. Thanks for the update, Mike!

Just remoted into my BI server to upgrade BIT and was greeted with a notice that BIT was already updated so didn't have to do anything.

My thanks go out to @Mike for fixing the problem and also making a few additional upgrades as well.

I asked about getting a version without advertising in it. Our auditors will not allow that on a server in the production environment. I was not complaining and offering to pay for said version.

I may be new to this forum but this isn't my first rodeo.

So far so good! No lockups so far. Memory management looks good. Thanks!

Still not sure why gusts are always lower then wind speed though.
Also unable to get emails working. Unable to connect to server. The info used is correct.

Installed 10 minutes ago, looking good so far>
Set up email, test works OK as well!

Thanks, Mike!


EDIT @ 1154 CT: FWIW, was unable to get gmail SMTP to test email OK, tried ports 465 & 587 and have less secure apps enabled; seems most folks can't use gmail with NVRs, etc. What did work was my own personal domain's SMTP server, port 465

Using smtp.charter.net on port 25 and no go. Same settings I used in BI and it works.
Have to use Charters as port 25 is block. Many other ISPs do this. Any ideas? Thanks.

Have you tried port 587?

Maybe "mobile.charter.net" for smtp?

Good luck with charter/spectrum...I spent over 2 hour resetting a password for an elderly lady in my area last month...their support site is soooo sloooow, requires your zip and service address because they are national and have different email servers in various parts of the county.

Thanks. Tried it still not connecting. BI is on the same server and no issue sending emails via Charter.

I am almost done integrating BI5 with BIT. In the meantime you can manually set the directories of BI5 in BIT -> Settings then Blue Iris Path and Blue Iris Server. Set those to whatever version of BI you are using.

Just the sort of info I was looking for. Thanks @Mike

Hi, i just renamed the BI4 folder to Old, then in B/T just click the detect version and it picked the correct folders itself, although it did say 4 detected when it was pointing to BI5 folders.

The path for BI5 is located in the same registry entry "AppPath4" as BI4, so whether or not you upgrade BI4 to BI5 or do a fresh install of 5, BIT will pick up that path. However, there seems to be a bug in the initial 5 release that still points the web server to the BI4 path which Ken is aware of. In the meantime I am still buttoning up all the finishing touches on the next version of BIT (which is compatible with BI5). A release will come this week.

Thanks Mike!

I looked into using an addon and spent a few hours last night trying to manipulate the temperature and relative humidity and give the dew point. It was more complicated than I bargained for. I was able to parse off the "F" in the temperature from C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Iris Tools\txt\Temperature.txt and and the % sign in the relative humidity in C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Iris Tools\txt\humidity.txt, then trying to use the simplified equation Dew point - Wikipedia for the dew point didn't seem to output the right value. So then I was looking into a more accurate complex version https://steelcityelectronics.files.wordpress.com/2015/02/htu21d_dew_point_equations_crop1.png but that uses a natural logarithm function which windows batch doesn't support. I tried to output the value of a command line calculator Command Line Calculator to be able to do the log function in the equation but got stuck, not being able to output the results of the command into a variable.

Is there any way to just grab the dew point that is reported from Wunderground rather than trying to do the calculation with the temperature and relative humidity values? I'm not a developer, so being able to do the equation in a script to output the correct value might be a bit over my head.

Thanks,

I was finally able to put together an BIT addon to calculate dewpoint. I have it ready to share but I can't upload the zip file. I get an error every time I try. Thoughts? Also, what is my IPCT member #? I don't see that anywhere in my profile.

Awesome! What is the error when uploading the zip? Are you uploading to the Downloads section? You member # is 41199.

Thanks for the quick response. Error screenshot attached.
