RSS update less than 1 hour

Post by Sonny80 »

Hello,
I use LCD Smartie 5.4. My task is to display weather conditions given from Internet RSS feed. I try to use
$Rss(http://rss,d,1) command - it works, BUT I need to update temperature in every 15 minutes or even faster.
Could you please help me how to solve my problem? I also set "Internet -> Refresh time (mins)" to 5 minutes but had no results... :( Where is the bug and how to fix it?

There is no bug, it is supposed to protect the servers from hammering with RSS requests.

If you need a faster update I suggest looking into alternative methods to grab the temperature:
- external sensor (outside your home)
- mobile weather stations
- weather plugins for smartie (and a server that will allow faster updates)

There are weather plugins for smartie but I don't know how fast they update the info. Official weather stations report every 30mins or every hour anyway.
