New Weather Feature in Automations Not Working For Me

[swade (Scott Wade)]

I have set up a few new automations for weather conditions that are built-in to automations and none of them are working. Anyone able to get them to work yet?

I just tested it there. Created a new automation to notify me if weather outside is “Cloudy”. It worked but actually took 20 mins to fire from them time I actually set it up. Not sure if this helps.

I was notified that it was rainy earlier.

I have no idea if it was trying to tell me it was rainy where I was as the time, or trying to tell me it was rainy in my ST location.

I also don’t know don’t where the observations were actually taken, how they were taken, and how old they were.

I am currently about 100 miles from home. When I click on ST weather icon it opens the weather channel and shows the weather for the address listed in ST. I am in the US.

@Steven_Ross1

i can’t get it to work. Any help would be appreciated to get them to work.

As my weather display has been stuck for two or three days, I’ve been assuming automations won’t be firing at the moment either.

Mine is stuck at 73F

Mine is stuck at 88. It’s actually 106!

New weather feature

As for the new Weather feature in the SmartThings app update, it has so far not worked at all in any of my attempts to try and use it as a trigger for Automations. In fact, this morning when it’s just 65° outside, it’s displaying 97° right now. So, it’s not that efficient for me right now. I also have the SmartThings Weather Station device (SmartWeather Station Tile) loaded from the IDE and it’s rock solid all the time triggering my Automations that use it and displaying all the weather conditions, forecasts, and alerts for my location. I’m curious why they just didn’t use the SmartThings Weather Station device as the source since they already had the device handler available in their device templates list.
