Does anyone know where the Smart Weather Tile (2.0) gets its data from? Mine hasn’t been updating for a while now.

I saw the post about the Weather Underground API, but that seems to leave me with more questions than answers. Yesterday the Temp readings on ‘SmartWeather Station Tile’ got stuck (not shocked). I had recently started playing with ‘SmartWeather Station Tile 2.0’ - this app seems to still be pulling data just fine from my PWS. So for now I’ve started using the 2.0 app for my ActionTiles display, but I really liked the layout of of the regular SmartWe…
