[RELEASE] HD+ - Android Dashboard

version 1.0.482 (beta)

  • support for new weather device (OpenWeatherMap-NWS Alerts Weather Driver)
  • remove border for folder

I know there's a million and 1 weather widgets out there and I wasn't planning on adding my own - but I wanted at least 1 that didn't involve html/css for my own dashboard. There's a few steps needed to set this up:

  • install the latest (v0.2.1) driver (refer to this thread) and configure the device (API key and city needed)
  • enable at least the following optional attributes for the weather driver: "Forecast High/Low Temperatures" and "Condition Icon URL". These should deliver the high/low temps for the next 2 days which I'm displaying in the wide tile. Also, the latest version adds the image URL's for the next 2 days as well which is why that's needed (a big thanks to @Matthew for adding that one so fast!)
  • make sure whenever you add a new device to Hubitat, also add it to the MakerAPI so it'll show up in the dashboard
  • lastly, by default the weather icon is a normal size; press and hold the tile -> Edit -> Show Wide Tile to view the larger version.

NOTE: the smaller weather tile here is the built-in Hubitat driver one (which I'll be removing soon!)


I'll try to add more details to the full-screen version.. there's a LOT more data that's being sent in this weather driver like alerts, wind, rain, etc..
