[Asterisk-Users] festival text for weather report

http://www.srh.noaa.gov/fwd/productviewnation.php?pil=OKXZFPOKX&version0

 

can anyone suggest how I could set up asterisk@home to read out allowed
the following text when I dial extension 850?

 

815 PM EST WED FEB 16 2005
 
.OVERNIGHT...MOSTLY CLEAR. LOWS 30 TO 35. NORTHWEST WINDS 15 TO 20 
MPH WITH GUSTS UP TO 30 MPH...DIMINISHING TO 10 TO 15 MPH LATE.
.THURSDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY. COOLER WITH HIGHS AROUND 40. NORTHWEST
WINDS AROUND 15 MPH. 
.THURSDAY NIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY. LOWS IN THE MID 20S. WEST WINDS
AROUND 15 MPH. 
.FRIDAY...PARTLY CLOUDY AND BRISK. HIGHS IN THE MID 30S. NORTHWEST
WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH. 
.FRIDAY NIGHT...PARTLY CLOUDY AND BRISK. LOWS AROUND 17. NORTHWEST
WINDS 15 TO 25 MPH. 

 

 

 

 

There's $20 via paypal to the first person to help me complete this
(I'll then post it on the the wiki so anyone can replicate it)

(anyone wanting to add to that bounty email me)

 

Also if it is not too difficult I'd like it to skip to the next block
each time you press '1' (eg go from overnight to Thursday)

 

Also it doesn't need to be this particular web page that it connects to
but something with current weather etc.

 

 

 

Cheers,

Dean

Basically you are going to have to parse this text with something (Perl
springs to mind) so that you can break it into separate files in order
to move back & firth in it.

Then you are going to need to adjust it so that "MPH" reads
"miles per
hour" etc.

Goodluck. :)

[Asterisk-Users] festival text for weather report

Dean,
Here is a rough starting point for you.
Put this into your /var/lib/asterisk/agi-bin/  directory. I used the  
name getforecast. (Change the ZIP code info, line 29) and make it  
executable.
<<< - FILE BEGIN ->>>
#!/bin/bash
# I grab the data from asterisk even though I don't use it
while read -e ARG && [ "$ARG" ] ; do
         array=(` echo $ARG | sed -e 's/://'`)
         export ${array[0]}=${array[1]}
done

checkresults()
{
         while read line
         do
         case ${line:0:4} in
         "200 " ) echo $line >&2
                 return;;
         "510 " ) echo $line >&2
                 return;;
         "520 " ) echo $line >&2
                 return;;
         *      ) echo $line >&2;;
         esac
         done
}
# answer the line and give some preliminary feedback
echo "ANSWER "
checkresults
echo "STREAM FILE national-weather-service \"\" "
checkresults
# Grab the forecast info page -- 80003 is MY zipcode, CHANGE TO YOUR  
ZIPCODE!
tempstr=` curl -s "http://weather.toolbot.com/?where=80003&RSS" `
# Cleanup the results, get rid of html tags etc. (Could probably be  
condensed)
tempstr=` echo $tempstr | sed 's:<?.*&lt;h3&gt;::g' | sed
's:=&lt.*$::'
| sed 's:&lt;br /&gt;:~:g'|\
         sed 's:&lt;[br /h3]*&gt;::g' | sed 's:nbsp;:
:g' | sed
's:&amp;::g' | sed 's:mph:miles per hour:g' `
# Create 'EOF' Mark in tempstr
tempstr=`echo $tempstr "~XOX" `
# Loop through string, echoing to file, convert to wave, speak them,  
etc.
until [ "$tempstr" == "XOX" ]
do
         lineout=`echo $tempstr | cut -f1 -d"~" `
         echo $lineout > /tmp/linetospeak.txt
         text2wave -f 8000 -o /tmp/forecastline.wav /tmp/linetospeak.txt
         echo "STREAM FILE /tmp/forecastline \"1\""
         checkresults
         tempstr=` echo $tempstr | cut -f2- -d"~" `
done
echo "STREAM FILE goodbye \"\""
checkresults
rm /tmp/linetospeak.txt
rm /tmp/forecastline.wav
echo "HANGUP "
checkresults
<<<- FILE END ->>>

I have the following in my extensions.conf:
exten => 2996,1,Answer
exten => 2996,2,wait(1)
exten => 2996,3,agi,getforecast
exten => 2996,4,Hangup

I'm not sure how you enter the extension.conf in asterisk@home.

NOTE: I am still LEARNING shell scripting & AGI, so the above may be  
kind of hack-ish. Helpful suggestions/advice very welcome!

[Asterisk-Users] festival text for weather report

Hi Ernie,
Man I hope you didn't write all of that for me, I feel really bad now,
someone posted to the list about 15 mins after I posted with the solution lol-
I've already been playing with it for hours working out what other sites I
can get it to read from as well.

Thanks anyway - good practive I guess.

I'm modifying the festival wikki page once I work out how.


Cheers,
Dean

[Asterisk-Users] festival text for weather report

Hi Steve,
Already in and working

I'll forward the email to you that solved it for me but I'll update the
wiki later this evening

Please add what you ended up with sooner rather than later.  I'm
interested in
the same weather forecast as you (in fact I'm in the same forecast
region as you),
but I've also been wondering what's around in terms of traffic
information.

http://www.hudsonvalleytraveler.com/perl/IncidentCongestionRpt.pl

Might be of interest to you as well, but unfortunatly they only provide
the
data in HTML format - I've already emailed them about how easy and
useful it
would be to provide XML as well...

My future hope is that I'd set up a DID that I could call from my cell
phone
headset using the voice dialing built into the phone, and then get a
traffic
report read to me without pressing any phone buttons.  That either means
using
a dedicated phone number or getting even a very primitive speech
recognition going
to chose between a very limited number of options.

The speech recognition part seems like it's going to be a while (I'd
love it
if someone else figures this part out before I get there...)

Steve
