HA!
If only a simple Fahrenheit to Celsius conversion would work!!
Ironically, the module has a parameter that defines the output format already, and yes, I tested it with Fahrenheit, but guess what, I fed it the Latitude and Longditude of somewhere in the Arctic Circle and Lo and Behold!!!! CRAP, it does exactly the same thing with negative Fahrenheit values....
Apparently -62?F is 65473?F according to Crestron's Weather Device...
BTW that's the forecast low temp for tomorrow morning in Rankin Inlet, Nunavut, Canada if anyone was curious lol.

Hi,
I have just posted a file in the module directory that converts Fahrenheit to Celsius. It is based on serial strings but it explain the math.

So, as part of the new software release yesterday, the Crestron Weather Device is now available and operational (After I spent a day two weeks ago updating and customizing the old Yahoo Direct Socket module...).
Anyway, I'm testing it out on my home system today and discovered an interesting glitch. When displaying temperatures in Celcius (I imagine this would also occur in Fahrenheit but you'd have to have temps below 0?F) and negative values output as serial text are displayed as negative subtracted analogs (i.e. -5?C is displayed as -65530?C, or 0 - 5).
There's two modules, one is the Crestron Weather Processor v1.2 (cm) and the other is the Crestron Weather Touchpanel Interface v1.0 (cm).
The Processor v1.2 module has analog outputs for temp values that display as the same negative value (-65530d) in debugger, but if I right click on the signal and set the display format to signed decimal, then it corrects to -5d.
I haven't opened them up in SIMPL to have a look at what's going on yet (I imagine this is a S+ issue), but does anyone have an obvious clue as to the error or how to correct it?
I'm sending a bug report to TB too.
Thanks,
