Get temperature data from web page

[Ohmarn]

Hi,

I want to get a temperature from a web page (Sea and water temperature) and send it to a group address. The temperature i want is "Vatten" for "Yngsjö havsbad".

The closest i could find in the forum was this script, post #5, Forum post. But i get stuck when it comes to "find matching string and fetch the data you want with".

Does anyone have any ideas how this could be done? Any tips or pointing me in a better direction?

Best regards //Simon

require('ssl.https')

data = ssl.https.request('https://www.havochvatten.se/badplatser-och-badvatten/vattenprov-badtemperatur/vattentemperatur-och-kvalitet-pa-badvatten-pa-sydkusten.html')
log(data)

[admin]

Try this:

Code:

url = 'https://www.havochvatten.se/badplatser-och-badvatten/vattenprov-badtemperatur/vattentemperatur-och-kvalitet-pa-badvatten-pa-sydkusten.html'
data = require('socket.http').request(url)

lines = data:split('\n')

for _, line in ipairs(lines) do
  if line:find('<tr><td headers="head11">') then
    location = line:match('<tr><td headers="head11">([^,]+)')
    watertemp = tonumber(line:match('<td headers="head13">([^ ]+).+</td>'))
    airtemp = tonumber(line:match('<td headers="head14">([^ ]+).+</td>'))
    location = location:gsub('&#xAD;', '')

    log(location, watertemp, airtemp)
  end
end

Great, but how do i split up the log to send the value i want?

I tried this code, it sends a value but not corectly. It first sends the value 5,6 310 times, then 13 other values once. At least all the values are from the correct table.

Code:

url = 'https://www.havochvatten.se/badplatser-och-badvatten/vattenprov-badtemperatur/vattentemperatur-och-kvalitet-pa-badvatten-pa-sydkusten.html'
data = require('socket.http').request(url)

lines = data:split('\n')

for _, line in ipairs(lines) do
  if line:find('<tr><td headers="head11">') then
    location = line:match('<tr><td headers="head11">([^,]+)')
    watertemp = tonumber(line:match('<td headers="head13">([^ ]+).+</td>'))
    airtemp = tonumber(line:match('<td headers="head14">([^ ]+).+</td>'))
    location = location:gsub('&#xAD;', '')

    log(location, watertemp, airtemp)
  end
badtemp = watertemp
grp.write('10/5/101', badtemp)
end

Which values exactly do you want and in which group addresses?

Which values exactly do you want and in which group addresses?

I want the first value (5 ℃) from this row: Yngsjö havsbad, Kristian­stad 5 ℃ 8.1 ℃ (see attached pictures)

Group adress: 10/5/101

data = require('socket.http').request(url)

pos = data:find('Yngsjö havsbad')
watertemp = tonumber(data:match('<td headers="head13">([^ ]+).+</td>', pos))

grp.checkwrite('10/5/101', watertemp)

Used ChatGTP for this:

Code:

url = 'https://www.havochvatten.se/badplatser-och-badvatten/vattenprov-badtemperatur/vattentemperatur-och-kvalitet-pa-badvatten-pa-sydkusten.html'
data = require('socket.http').request(url)

-- Function to extract the temperature for a specific location
local function extractTemperatureForLocation(html, locationName)
    local locationStartIdx, locationEndIdx = html:find(locationName)
    if not locationStartIdx then
        return nil
    end

    local temperatureStartIdx, temperatureEndIdx, temperature = html:find("(%d+%.%d+)°C", locationEndIdx)
    if not temperatureStartIdx then
        return nil
    end

    return temperature
end

-- Location name to search for
local locationName = "Yngsjö havsbad"

-- Extract temperature for the specific location
local temperature = extractTemperatureForLocation(data, locationName)

if temperature then
    -- Print the extracted temperature
    --log(locationName .. " temperature: " .. temperature .. "°C")
      grp.checkwrite('10/5/101', temperature)
else
    log(locationName .. " temperature not found.")
end
