Hi all
I have created a series of tasks that result in a lovely voice
greeting me in the morning and announcing my first appointment and
todays weather. I thought I'd share the process.
Here’s how I did it:
I created three separate tasks which I will explain in detail below:
Weather, Calendar, and Daily Announcement
Create a task
Weather:
1.HTTP Get
Server:Port rss.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/global/stations/
02635.xml?units=metric
Mime Type text/xml
(02635 is my location, to find yours go to www.weatherunderground.com
and search for it,
you can also set unit type there. If you click for the RSS feed you
will get the correct URL
and can also use the feed in your browser window to easier identify
splitters in the next steps)
2. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD Splitter: Forecast for
3. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD2 Splitter: as of
4. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD3 Splitter: as of
5. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD22 Splitter: <description>
6. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD32 Splitter: <description>
7. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD222 Splitter: &
8. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD322 Splitter: &
9. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD2221 Splitter: :
10. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD3221 Splitter: :
11. Variable Set
Name: %DAYCOND To: &HTTPD22211
12. Variable Set
Name: %DAYTEMP To: &HTTPD22212
13. Variable Set
Name: %NIGHTCOND To: &HTTPD32211
13. Variable Set
Name: %NIGHTTEMP To: &HTTPD32212
14. Variable Clear
Name: %HTTPD
(Repeat clearing the different %HTTPD variables until all the junk
variables are cleared I have a total of 15 variable clear commands but
I can't find a better way)
This task is now complete and I have four variabes (depending on
forecast of course):
%DAYCOND: Mostly Cloudy. High
%DAYTEMP: 25
%NIGHTCOND: Chance of Rain. Low
%NIGHTTEMP: 17
Create a new task
Calendar:
1. HTTP Get
Server:Port
www.google.com/calendar/feeds/Username%40gmail.com/private-*****************/full?singleevents=true&futureevents=true&orderby=starttime&sortorder=ascending&max-results=1
Mime Type text/xml
(This is your private Google Calendar feed and ofcourse Username and
the ****'s are replaced by your unique value. To get this URL go to
Calendar settings, Calendars, and click on the calendar you want- on
the bottom you will find your private XML address You must replace the
"basic" at the end of the URL with
"full
singleevents=true&futureevents=true&orderby=starttime&sortorder=ascending&max-
results=1"
because you only want the next event and you want them sorted a
specific way etc.(You can of course tweak this as you wish))
2. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD Splitter: <title type=text'>
3. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD3 Splitter: </title><content type='text'
4. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD32 Splitter: startTime='
5. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD322 Splitter: T
6. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD3222 Splitter: :
7. Variable Set
Name: %NEXTAPT To: %HTTPD31
8. Variable Set
Name: %NEXTAPTSTART To: %HTTPD32221
9. Variable Clear
Name: %HTTPD
(Repeat clearing the different %HTTPD variables until all the junk
variables are cleared)
This task is now complete and I have two variabes (depending on
calendar of course):
%NEXTAPT: Meeting with John
%NEXTAPTSTART: 09 00
Create a new task
Daily Announcement:
1. Say
Text: Good morning Chris, Your first appointment is %NEXTAPT at
%NEXTAPTSTART.
Todays forecast is %DAYCOND %DAYTEMP and tonight %NIGHTCOND
%NIGHTTEMP. Have a great day.
2. Variable Clear
Name: %DAYCOND
3. Variable Clear
Name: %DAYTEMP
4. Variable Clear
Name: %NIGHTCOND
5. Variable Clear
Name: %NIGHTTEMP
6. Variable Clear
Name: %NEXTAPT
7. Variable Clear
Name: %NEXTAPTSTART
In cleartext this says: "Good morning Chris, Your first appointment is
Meeting with John at 09 00. Todays forecast is Mostly Cloudy. High 25
and tonight Chance of Rain. Low 17. Have a great day.
This task is now complete.
To tie it all together I created a time context named "Fetch Info"
I set the Context to: Time, From 06:00 Til 06:02 and added The tasks
"Calendar" as an entry task and "Weather" as an exit task. This causes
the phone to grab the info and set the variables at 6am while I'm
sleeping since the tasks take a while to run.
You can then add any context you wish as a trigger to run the "Daily
Announcement" task and read you the info.
Try it out and tweak it to your pleasing :)

Edit to my first post,
Pent helped me figure out how to clear out all the garbage Variables
easier and cleaner:
After the HTTP Get command use a Variable Set Command and set a new
variable for example %DATAFEED to %HTTPD, then you can do the
splitting on that variable and once done run a Variable Join Command
on %DATAFEED with the delete parts box checked, then you can use
Variable Clear %DATAFEED and you will be all set.

OK update on the variable join solution, sorry :( seems like you have
to perform the variable join the same amount of times as the split
only in reverse order. It still ends up being cleaner than clearing
each value one at a time.

okay, I guess I don't get it. I would like this to work, but I have
followed the directions and keep getting errors. The calendar says IO
error when I try and test the HTTP get. Also it says that it cannot
split undefined variables. Let me know if I am missing something or
need to read something else first. Thanks for the help.

I'm truing to get the entire task up on the Wiki then you can just
download it from there.
Have you changed the URL in the HTTP Get command to match the one you
get from your own Google Calendar?

This looks a bit like I set up and posted on XDA-devs (http://
forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7484293&postcount=23), but I
ran into a problem. Since you seem to be more experienced in this
stuff, could you please take a look at where it goes wrong?
I'm using worldweatheronline.com for worldwide coverage and using of
my gps coordinates in case I'm not in my own zip area.

I emailed you the task,
let me know if it works, I'm sorry but I am not confident in updating
the Wiki.
The task works fine for me every time so I'm curious if others can get
it to work.
Thanx

One problem could be that the "<weatherDesc><![CDATA[" occurs more
than once in the XML I see it three times which means that the command
each starting at the different occurrence of the splitter text.
If you split the test up in a word document after each occurrence it
may be easier to follow along and identify the different %HTTPD
sections.
same thing happens later when you use ]]></weatherDesc> etc.
Hope it helps

If you split the test up in a word document after each occurrence it
may be easier to follow along and identify the different %HTTPD
sections.
same thing happens later when you use ]]></weatherDesc> etc.
Hope it helps

I entered in the splitter tasks until the first variable set, then ran
a test. Oops, Tasker didn't like that one bit.
Turns out your xml is much different than mine. There is no "Forecast
for" in the text.
http://rss.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/TX/Sugar_Land.xml?units=english
LOL
I wonder if using the Google Calendar version of the forecast would be
more portable?
http://ical.wunderground.com/auto/ical/TX/Sugar_Land.ics?units=english
For example, one line is
SUMMARY:Chance of a Thunderstorm 95F / 77F
Another is,
DESCRIPTION:Today - Partly cloudy with a 20 percent chance of showers
and thunderstorms. Highs in the mid 90s. Southeast winds around 5 mph
in the morning becoming south and increasing to 10 to 15 mph in the
afternoon. Heat index readings 102 to 107. \n
Looking at the ICS for your location, it appears the format is the
same. Without knowing how parsing works, it would seem to be straight
forward too...
SUMMARY:Chance of Rain 68F / 48F
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday - Chance of Rain. High 71 F Wind South 6
mph. Chance of precipitation 20%.\nTuesday Night - Chance of
Rain. Low 46 F Wind SSE 11 mph. Chance of
precipitation 20%.

@Dave,
That Google rss looks pretty sweet. I'll have to check it out. It's
all about finding the info we wasn't and figuring out how to split it
up.

Hi Chris,
I found that I can get a "reasonable" forecast with just two splits:
Action: HTTP GET
Server ical.wunderground.com/auto/ical/TX/Sugar_Land.ics%3Funits
%3Denglish
Mime Type text/xml
Action: Variable Split
Name %HTTPD
Splitter DESCRIPTION:
Action: Variable Split
Name %HTTPD2
Splitter \n
At this point, %HTTPD21 contains "Today - Partly cloudy with a 20
percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Highs in the upper 90s.
East winds 5 to 10 mph. Heat index readings 104 to 109."
The funny part is that SAY will convert "90s" to "90 seconds". But it
will also change "mph" to "miles per hour".
To see how portable it was, I change my HTTP GET to use
ical.wunderground.com/auto/ical/global/stations/02635.ics?
units=english
And it said, "Tuesday - Clear. High 69 F Wind South 2 mph."
The problem was that it said "F" as in 'F'
However, the full text of DESCRIPTION is,
"Tuesday - Clear. High 69 F Wind South 2 mph.
\nTuesday Night - Chance of Rain. Low 48 F Wind SE 8
mph. Chance of precipitation 30%."
If you change the second splitter to LOCATION instead of \n, you get
that. But SAY will say "backslash n".
What I'd like to do is remove the standalone "F"s (I guess "C" if you
choose metric units?) and the \n. Is there a text replacement
action? I haven't found it.
Anyways, this seems easy, understandable, and portable.

Alright everybody,
I have the calendar portion working, It shows the event and the time,
but it doesn't pull the date. This is important as sometimes I don't
have an event for everyday and don't want to be confused. I am trying
to figure it out, but I am still not sure how to know where each
%HTTPD break is. If anyone could help me understand or point me in the
right direction I would appreciate it. I am not usually this slow at
picking things up, but this is killing me. Also, I have been trying
the weather portion and keep getting an error that says can't split
unset variable. Here is my rss feed.

I had a similar weather problem (I've never had my calendar portion
work, either). After setting many popups to examine each variable, I
think I concluded that the XML was different for Chris (in Europe) and
me (in North America). Wunderground seems to get more information
from the USA National Weather Service, so the content provided is
different.
I think too that the 'set' variables in the original post are wrong.
Variables start with %, so all those that start with & are typos
(&HTTPD22211 should be %HTTPD22211)
You can try using my ical splitter instead of the rss spliter:
Action: HTTP GET
Server http://ical.wunderground.com/auto/ical/KS/Emporia.ics?units=english
Mime Type text/plain
***note, the server is in one line***
Action: Variable Split
Name %HTTPD
Splitter DESCRIPTION:
Action: Variable Split
Name %HTTPD2
Splitter \n
Name %WEATHER to %HTTPD21
Probably the responsible thing would be to unset all the HTTPD*
variables, but I haven't done that yet.
Good luck!

I made some changes to Chris's fabulous work. I had the same problems
as others: Weather is formatted differently in the US (I think) so I
worked to create two summary forecasts, 1 for today and the second for
tonight. It is rather lengthly, but worth it. The other is to
determine if the next appt is today or tomorrow. If it is today it
works the same as Chris's, but if it is tomorrow it tells me so. If I
don't have an appt either day it tells me that. I also added 1 to
the hour variable and then subtracted 1 so if the appt is at 9 it
doesn't say 09. I also subtracted 12 if the appt. is >12 so it will
give the time in 12 hour format. At the beginning of the task it set
a variable AMPM to AM and if it is greater than 12 it sets it to PM.
(I had to fool around with pronunciation so it is set to "eh em" for
am and 'pee em" to get the pronunciation right. Anyway, if someone
could let me know how to get to export in a human readiable format I
will post it here. As a word of warning though, my code is not
elegant, but it does work.

Sweet, I'd like to see it to.
I'm sorry my version didn't work out of the box in the US. I didn't
think to test that.
But at least it got us started with using the XML's and variable
splitting right? :)

I've cheated -
I figured why make multiple HTTP requests to various websites and make the phone do all the processing -
if you have access to a webserver write php that does the parsing for you and outputs text that the phone simply speaks with the say command :)
No dodgy variables, no worrying that the task will break if they change the format of their feeds....
My phone simply contacts my server and my server does the processing :)
This also makes it easy to add additional sources (like weather agency warnings)
see -

I have created a task that can announce your whole day schedule to you without using the http get method from Google servers. It uses the native calendar functions in tasker and works offline .
If anyone is interested I can post the details here

I just came across your post and i would like to know if i could get some help from you with setting up something similar but not with Google calender. Not sure if you even still mess with this but if you do i would appreciated your help.

Hi all
I have created a series of tasks that result in a lovely voice
greeting me in the morning and announcing my first appointment and
todays weather. I thought I'd share the process.
Here’s how I did it:
I created three separate tasks which I will explain in detail below:
Weather, Calendar, and Daily Announcement
Create a task
Weather:
1.HTTP Get
Server:Port rss.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/global/stations/
02635.xml?units=metric
Mime Type text/xml
(02635 is my location, to find yours go to www.weatherunderground.com
and search for it,
you can also set unit type there. If you click for the RSS feed you
will get the correct URL
and can also use the feed in your browser window to easier identify
splitters in the next steps)
2. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD Splitter: Forecast for
3. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD2 Splitter: as of
4. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD3 Splitter: as of
5. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD22 Splitter: <description>
6. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD32 Splitter: <description>
7. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD222 Splitter: &
8. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD322 Splitter: &
9. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD2221 Splitter: :
10. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD3221 Splitter: :
11. Variable Set
Name: %DAYCOND To: &HTTPD22211
12. Variable Set
Name: %DAYTEMP To: &HTTPD22212
13. Variable Set
Name: %NIGHTCOND To: &HTTPD32211
13. Variable Set
Name: %NIGHTTEMP To: &HTTPD32212
14. Variable Clear
Name: %HTTPD
(Repeat clearing the different %HTTPD variables until all the junk
variables are cleared I have a total of 15 variable clear commands but
I can't find a better way)
This task is now complete and I have four variabes (depending on
forecast of course):
%DAYCOND: Mostly Cloudy. High
%DAYTEMP: 25
%NIGHTCOND: Chance of Rain. Low
%NIGHTTEMP: 17
Create a new task
Calendar:
1. HTTP Get
Server:Port
www.google.com/calendar/feeds/Username%40gmail.com/private-*****************/full?singleevents=true&futureevents=true&orderby=starttime&sortorder=ascending&max-results=1
Mime Type text/xml
(This is your private Google Calendar feed and ofcourse Username and
the ****'s are replaced by your unique value. To get this URL go to
Calendar settings, Calendars, and click on the calendar you want- on
the bottom you will find your private XML address You must replace the
"basic" at the end of the URL with
"full
singleevents=true&futureevents=true&orderby=starttime&sortorder=ascending&max-
results=1"
because you only want the next event and you want them sorted a
specific way etc.(You can of course tweak this as you wish))
2. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD Splitter: <title type=text'>
3. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD3 Splitter: </title><content type='text'
4. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD32 Splitter: startTime='
5. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD322 Splitter: T
6. Variable Split
Name: %HTTPD3222 Splitter: :
7. Variable Set
Name: %NEXTAPT To: %HTTPD31
8. Variable Set
Name: %NEXTAPTSTART To: %HTTPD32221
9. Variable Clear
Name: %HTTPD
(Repeat clearing the different %HTTPD variables until all the junk
variables are cleared)
This task is now complete and I have two variabes (depending on
calendar of course):
%NEXTAPT: Meeting with John
%NEXTAPTSTART: 09 00
Create a new task
Daily Announcement:
1. Say
Text: Good morning Chris, Your first appointment is %NEXTAPT at
%NEXTAPTSTART.
Todays forecast is %DAYCOND %DAYTEMP and tonight %NIGHTCOND
%NIGHTTEMP. Have a great day.
2. Variable Clear
Name: %DAYCOND
3. Variable Clear
Name: %DAYTEMP
4. Variable Clear
Name: %NIGHTCOND
5. Variable Clear
Name: %NIGHTTEMP
6. Variable Clear
Name: %NEXTAPT
7. Variable Clear
Name: %NEXTAPTSTART
In cleartext this says: "Good morning Chris, Your first appointment is
Meeting with John at 09 00. Todays forecast is Mostly Cloudy. High 25
and tonight Chance of Rain. Low 17. Have a great day.
This task is now complete.
To tie it all together I created a time context named "Fetch Info"
I set the Context to: Time, From 06:00 Til 06:02 and added The tasks
"Calendar" as an entry task and "Weather" as an exit task. This causes
the phone to grab the info and set the variables at 6am while I'm
sleeping since the tasks take a while to run.
You can then add any context you wish as a trigger to run the "Daily
Announcement" task and read you the info.
Try it out and tweak it to your pleasing :)

I have successfully created a weather announcement with your instructions. I have now tried recreating the calendar one, but it is stuck on the first step, the http get.
This is what I have created as per instructions:
Calendar (119)
A1: HTTP Get [
Path: Attributes: Cookies: User Agent: Timeout:10 Mime Type:text/xml Output
File: Trust Any Certificate:Off ]
abc being my gmail, a...@gmail.com
xxx being my private key
I get a Input/output Error
java.io file not found exception
Any idea what that is please ?

My email is a...@gmail.com (have replaced the real bits before @gmail.com with abc) basically as it comes of the xml from the calendar settings, and I replaced the /basic with /fulletc as per original post

Perhaps I was not clear. Your post showed 'abc being my email abc...@gmail.com', so does the final HTTP:GET expand to this,
.../feeds/<user name>%40gmail.com/...
or this,
.../feeds/<user name>@gmail.com%40gmail.com/...
where '%40' = '@' in hexadecimal ASCII
Other than that, yours looks like mine, and mine works.

I thought I did everything right, but then I got the red dot and error message on it.

%40gmail is treated as a variable by Tasker.
This can be fixed by either replacing %40 with @ like a...@gmail.com
or
using a backslash before the % to make it literal, like "abc\%40gmail.com"

I spoke too soon.
Mine used to work but no longer.
I made the changes easiuser listed above but I still get an HTTP error 403.
What changed?

I have tried replacing %40 with @, it did not work, still getting the same error. The backslash befor the %40 did not work either.

The weird thing is I only just set up google calendar, and got the link from google calendar yesterday

I have given up on the google calendar, I might start a new thread about it some time.
But there is something I'd like to do. I am using the weather
HTTP Get
Server:Port rss.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/global/stations/
02635.xml?units=metric
Mime Type text/xml
Server:Port rss.wunderground.com/auto/rss_full/global/stations/
02635.xml?units=metric
Mime Type text/xml
and it works fine. But how can I get the current weather condition (snow, rain, sunshine etc)
at the moment I am getting the forecast which is great, but I would like to expand this to current condition as well. I have not been able to figure out how to do that

I have discovered why Google calendar no longer works with that URL - as of November, Google has officially switched to a new calendar API.
https://developers.google.com/google-apps/calendar/v2/developers_guide_protocol
For current weather, I use NOAA and split.

Weatherace was a good idea. I downloaded that the other day, and just played with the tasker plugin and bingo, got it. Very easy.
But - trying to digest the information on the google page, that's a different story. Way above my head, no idea what they're talking about... Did you get what they are saying ? Can you still get calendar or is it not possible any more ?
