Hi i am having trouble figuring out how to export the current temperature to a .txt file. can someone point me in the right direction? thanks in advance!!
One way to do that is in WD go to Setup->Log Files and tick “Produce a Custom Log File” then below that pick your Update Frequency. Then create a plain text file named customtext.txt with notepad, place the desired tag in it (%temp%) and save it to your \webfiles folder. WD will replace that tag with the current data and output the file customtextout.txt.
There’s an extensive list of tags in your WD folder in a file named taglist.txt in case you want to add other things.

Thank you very much for the tip I’ll take a look!!!
I created a file named custom.txt in the webfiles folder and added the %temp% tag. In the logfiles setup i checked the 1 minute interval but nothing seems to be happening. The file isn’t being updated. Am i missing something?
Check the file name … customtext.txt as written on that screen. That’s the file that WD will be looking for.

It still wasn’t working and i noticed my release was very old. upgraded to the newest release and everything is working as designed. Thank you for your help!!
