Is there a way to set a value for the built in Simulated Temperature Sensor from within a SmartApp. (webCoRE is not an option for me)
don’t know,
but for example the simulated power meter, has up-down buttons to increment the value within the Classic-phone-app - that works for testing. If your simulated temp does not, then you could compare-copy-paste.
The reason I want to do this is that I written a SmartApp that selects the lowest temperature of several sensors. That way I’m sure that I have a temperature that is not directly affected by the sun.
If I can set that temperature as a value to a simulated/virtual sensor, then it’s easy to present that temperature on ActionTiles.
I have a bit similar question: How to set temperature value from our national weather institute’s open api to a simulated temperature sensor in smartthings and update it every 10 min? This way I wouldn’t have to buy my own outdoor temp sensor. This is the http get query (the latest temperature is the last value in the response): http://opendata.fmi.fi/wfs?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=getFeature&storedquery_id=fmi::observations::weather::simple&place=kaisaniemi&endtime=now¶meters=temperature
