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.
