I’ve been transferring my automations from many other services to Hubitat. I have one giving me trouble.
I have heated mats I use to melt snow. I want to turn on when snow is in the forecast. I have apixu setup, but no idea on how to creat a rule in rule machine based on a weather forecast, any ideas?
"Turn switch on/off based on weather forecast"
I would much prefer being able to turn the weather on/off based on a switch. I just got done shoveling snow and another storm is due today.
Thank you. I am now trying the attributes with DarkSky device. I’m using the Rule Engine rather than WATO, as it can parse attributes. No attribute for Snow, but I can parse the forecast text for the word Snow.
I’ll report back how it works.
BTW - the mats keep me from having to shovel much at my ski house.
I did. I used Dark Sky Forecast Text containing snow as the trigger. But I think that is going to stop working soon, so will need to find a new source.
I'm using the weather.gov integration to determine whether it's cloudy outside or not and adjust motion lighting accordingly. I hope weather.gov will be here for a while...
This is awesome! You inspired me to explore node-red and turn my new SummerStep on/off based on the forecast. It seems to be working. Thank you for posting!
