Weather Configuration (adding cities to the Reach)

In order to provide the correct weather when installing a Reach Server, you will most likely need to add the city you are installing into the server. Use the following steps:

  1. Go to https://www.accuweather.com/
  2. Search for the city you need to add into the Reach. Example: Othello, WA.
    1. When the page populates, the URL will look like this in the top bar: https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/othello-wa/99344/weather-forecast/341335 This contains the information you need. The numbers after othello-wa/ are the zip code. Thus, the zip code for Othello, WA is 99344. The numbers after weather-forecast/ are the accuweather city ID. The city ID number is the number you need to add into the Reach Server. Copy or write down the number 341335.
  3. On the Samsung Reach Server, open the following root. C:/ > Apache2.4 > htdocs > config > data_xml. In this folder you will find the file AccuCityInfo.xml
  4. Right click on the AccuCityInfo.xml file and select edit.
  5. Scroll all the way down to the United States portion of the document and place the desired city in alphabetically.
    1. In this example we are adding Othello. Scroll down and place it between Orlando and Overland Park. Place the cursor at the very end of Orlando’s line and press enter, creating a blank space between the two.
  6. Start the line by adding 4 spaces and then add the following line:
    1. <city name=”Othello” code=”cityId:341335” Longitude=”” Latitude=””/>
    2. You will notice that after cityId: we added the number we got from accuweather. This number will tell the Reach Server where to look for that city’s weather. Make sure you save the changes to the document before closing.
  7. Go into the Reach and set the weather to the added city to complete the setup. Verify that the weather is populating on the TV correctly and fix any errors as needed.
