in ST i have an accuweather connection that lets me get the temp outside in my area to control some things like my water circulation pump. Any chance on something that would let me get the local weather data?

I was not getting the Humidity (either upper or lower case) values to show in several dashboards (HousePanel and SmartTiles). Those dashboards show the humidity value as ‘null.’ In looking at examples that did work, it appeared that the humidity being reported by the driver was just the number an…

@Matthew Were you gettin a double % sign? (e.g. 60%%) or was it just not showing at all Andy

They both just showed ‘%’ with no number. Those dashboards (HousePanel and SmartTiles) apparently need just the number and they add their own ‘%’ symbol as they both show correctly now (a number with a single ‘%’ at the end) after I removed the ‘%’ from the driver result.

@Matthew Good find- thanks for that I have the same issue with this on another thread. I’ll make the same change to the lowercase setting (I use the uppercase one as my app does not add the % Thanks again Andy

Yes, the way it is supposed to work is the value should be a number and then a separate “units” setting for “F” or “C” or “%” would get passed to the device event state That way when retrieving the attribute, you get {value:“58”, unit: “%”} but most just put the unit in the value… Or override the…

I have realised that I can store Illuminance into a variable which means I do not have to define lots of Virtual switches for light levels. Here is a piston I use to do it. [download%20(5)]

is there a way to get the actual high and low temps since midnight, rather than just the forecasted high and low?

@bravenel - Any discussions about RM custom commands from weather drivers? For example, I can user @Cobra 's Weather Switch app to pull from a weather driver to trigger a virtual switch, to then trigger a RM rule for TTS to get the condition, but very restrictive and a lot of components for that on…

[image] SmartHomePrimer: Any discussions about RM custom commands from weather drivers? No. What custom commands are you referring to? If you pull up a weather device in Custom Commands, all of its commands are exposed. So you can send any command to it you want. You can create a custom c…

@SmartHomePrimer When I get some time, I was thinking to add tts to weather switch as I do something similar with two stages @bravenel Bruce I think @SmartHomePrimer actually means custom attributes which a lot of the weather drivers present (like ‘rainTomorrow’ or ‘inside_temperature’) Andy
