MULTIPLE LOCATIONS PROBLEM

[gocar1965]

Hello everybody

I wish to use multiple locations with macros but actually i didn't manage as
I didn't find any possibility to set macros for 2 or more locations
as there is no way to change macros in blue iris as it is always 1% 2% 3% etc....
Is there one who can help me ?
I wish to set multiple locations (WU stations) with macros
Thanls in advance

You can definitely use %2, etc. Want me to connect to your comp and help? Shoot me a private message if so.

Hello Mike !
Thanks a lot for reply
Of course you can connect to my pc, whenever you wish
If i have understood well i need to use 1% for first station and 2% for
second one %3 for third etc.....
But the problem in that case you need to use "everything macro" where
all datas are displayed. Is that what you mean maybe ?
In my case i need to display datas separately in macros and if i use all 9 macros for first station there is no way to use more macros for other stations
That's my problem
How can i solve it ?
Wait for your reply
Thanks
Have a nice day

This doesn't explain multiple weather macros, but check this out and see if it helps Blue Iris Tools Help File

Did you assign the text files to the macros in BI yet?

Would it possible to add macros %10 %11 %12 %13 up to %19 ?
How can i manage ?

You can only have up to 9 macros. %1 - %9.

You can only have up to 9 macros. %1 - %9.

It is possible to have macros up to %99 by 1) using a Blue Iris HTTP Interface command, or 2) directly editing the registry.

1) /admin?macro=x&text={text} Set macro number x=1-99 to value {text}

2) HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Perspective Software\Blue Iris\Macros

More info here.

Btw, macros over %32 used to have a problem with file assignments, but this has been fixed in BI5.

Hello everybody
I wish to buy this cam for a cottage on the Swiss Alps without electricity

Argus PT + Solar Panel, Reolink 2MP Mini Pan & Tilt Rechargeable Battery Powered/Solar Powered WiFi Home Security Camera

They told me it is not onvif and not working with third-part software like BI
But i am doubtful as i have heard that some reolink cameras work with BI
Is there someone who can confirm me if this ptz wifi cam can work with BI ?
Thanks in advance for reply

I too would like to use multiple weather locations, but I am unable to get it working correctly. The "multiple locations" button is greyed out. Is that supposed to be like that? I have uninstalled BIT and re-installed it, with no changes. I have three locations saved in the "station ID" section. When I click on the BI Macros button I have %1 set to weather location one (file:/C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Iris Tools\txt\everything.txt), and that works correct. %2 I wanted to be weather location two. For some reason the txt location comes up as (file:/C:\Program Files (x86)\Blue Iris Tools\Weather\"ACTUAL STATION ID"\everything.txt) but no folder is created nor is a txt file.

Am I way off base, or what am I doing wrong? I have been trying to look this up for days, but just cant get it configured correctly. What do I need to do to make it work? I am working with our local volunteer storm tracker group and this would help a lot. They have remote access to a few cameras and I am setting up "false" cameras with only a weather overlay of these specific locations.

Thank you in advance!


Windows 10, 64bit, BI5

Bump

I still can't seem to get this configured correctly. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Has the multiple locations for weather data option ever been updated? I see the "Multiple Locations" button but it is greyed out. What am I doing wrong?
