Ecobee Suite Smart Mode updated to version 1.6.18 on 10 January 2019 at 12:15pm EST
- Now uses the new
getTwcConditions()(The Weather Company) instead of the deprecatedgetWeatherFeature()(Weather Underground) for external temp/dewpoint/humidity.
Important Notices:
- The current Weather Underground interface in SmartThings will stop working on or before Feb 15, 2019
- The new API (currently) does not provide a means to access a specific Personal Weather Station directly. If that is required, you should find a SmartThings Weather Station DTH that supports your weather station and use its sensors instead. There are numerous options:
- The Weather Tile station DTH provided by SmartThings
- Weather Station Tile 2 by Takis, which provides more data
- My own Free MeteoBridge Weather Station which uses direct access to your local weather station via MeteoBridge/WeatherBridge
- The Ambient Weather DTH by Kurt Sanders
- The new API appears to not support non-US postal codes. Users are advised to allow the API to use the geographic coordinates for your location get get the most precise/relevant data for your location.
- Your geographic location must be defined in your Mobile App in order for this to work properly
This update is recommended for ALL Ecobee Suite Smart Mode users
