[OBSOLETE] Color Changing Smart Weather lamp app

@jkohlen I made some major changes to the app to better suit my needs. I forked your code on GitHub(I’ve never done that before so I appologize if that wasn’t the right way to do it) with my changes at https://github.com/jdiben/Smart-Weather-Lamp/blob/master/Smart-Weather-Lamp.groovy in case it will benefit you or anyone else. I also created a new topic here at ColorCast - Color Changing Weather Lamp which details the updates I made which include the following major changes

  • You can now select the number of hours that you want to look ahead.
    This means you can install a version of the app for workdays that will
    check the weather for the next 8 hours and let you know if, during those
    8 hours, it is going to be cold, hot, windy, rainy or snowy. You can
    install another instance of the app for the evening, that only looks at
    the next 2 hours. You can select to look ahead from 1-24 hours or just
    check the current conditionsYou can specify the “cold” temperature, the “hot” temperature, and the wind speed to trigger weather events
  • If multiple weather conditions are matched, the lamp will cycle
    through all the applicable weather colors. For instance, if it’s going
    to be cold, windy and snowing, the light will turn on and change from
    blue to yellow to pink.
  • In the event of a weather alert, the light will work as it always does, but all applicable colors will flash
  • Added a page to the app setup that explains the need for a
    forecast.io API key. Included a link to the forecast.io developer
    section and an input for your unique API key.
  • Removed the “pollen” feature.

I welcome any feed back you have
