[OBSOLETE] Smart Weather Station Tile Device

Devices & Integrations
93

I wrote (or probably copied and modified) a very simple smart app that uses events to update the weather tile. I’ve tried to change all my smart apps to use events rather than schedules, due to the ongoing issues with scheduled events not running reliably.

I chose temperature as the capability to subscribe to, as most of my sensors have temperature capability. Every change will refresh the weather tile. So far it’s been much more reliable than just relying on the weather tile updates.
