Version Changelog and Important Information
- Added a new STAmbientWeather APP preference option to “Create a SmartWeather Station Tile for use as an Ambient Weather ActionTiles™ Weather Tile?”.
- When this new option is set to ‘ON’, and after SAVING from the APP, a local “special use” version of the SmartWeather Station Tile child device will be created with the title “Ambient SmartWeather Station”. It will only receive the required weather data fields from the Ambient Weather Station at the same update frequency as the STAmbientWeather APP refresh setting.
- Please refer to the instructions on ActionTiles™ website on how to create a SmartWeather Station Weather Tile on your dashboard.
- If one has already installed the SmartThings namespace SmartWeather Tile Station installed and reporting their local weather, the child device created by STAmbientWeather will not impact that existing device.
- If one does not have SmartThings namespace SmartWeather Station Tile, you may choose to install and configure it separately so that your ActionTiles™ dashboard has both Ambient and local weather.
- Do not modify the kurtsanders namespace SmartWeather Station Tile DTH or device as it is pre-configured to work only with STAmbientWeather.
- Added a unique Run number to each execution of STAmbientWeather in Live Logging.
