refresh weather skin 15 seconds after wakeup

[mcdermott2]

I would like my weather app to refresh 15 seconds after my computer wakes up.

I have been able to put together the following:
OnWakeAction=!Refresh

but can't figure out how to stagger the action by 15 seconds.

Thanks!

Just out of interest, why would you want the weather skin to update 15 seconds after start-up?

My laptop doesn't always connect to the internet immediately on wakeup. Sometimes it takes a few seconds, and when this happens I have to manually refresh my weather app.

Code: Select all

[Rainmeter]
Update=1000
AccurateText=1
DynamicWindowSize=1
OnWakeAction=[!EnableMeasure MeasureDelay]

[Variables]
SecondsToDelay=14

[MeasureDelay]
Measure=Calc
Formula=MeasureDelay + 1
IfAboveValue=#SecondsToDelay#
IfAboveAction=[!Refresh]
Disabled=1

Thank you, JSMorley, your code worked!

Add the above code provided by JSMorley (copy/paste) into your weather skin, save the file.
Load/refresh your weather skin.

When your computer wakes, the weather skin will refresh after 15 seconds.

Just to be a little bit more precise, I add to eclectic-tech's reply the followings:

• Add the OnWakeAction option from jsmorley's post to your [Rainmeter] section. If there is no [Rainmeter] section (not too probably, but possible) add the jsmorley's section to the code. If on the other hand there is an OnWakeAction option in the [Rainmeter] section, just add the [!EnableMeasure MeasureDelay] bang to the existing option.
• Add the SecondsToDelay variable to the [Variables] section, besides the existing variables. In most cases there should be such a section, but if there is not, just add jsmorely's one.
• Finally add the [MeasureDelay] measure to the code.

When jsmorely posted his solution, back at the beginning of 2014, this was the only affordable solution, but in meantime a !Delay ban has been introduced. Using this bang should save adding a measure. So, instead of adding the [MeasureDelay] measure and the posted OnWakeAction option, just add the following option to the [Rainmeter] section: OnWakeAction=[!Delay "#SecondsToDelay#"][!Refresh] and add the SecondsToDelay variable to the [Variables] section. I think this is much easier this way.
