Eric, you may not have realized, but you’ve replied to a 2 year old project. It’s an idea that many have thought about, but I am not aware if anyone was successful. It’s nice to bring this idea back.

@ewelin …

Here’s something in a more finished form and about a year newer… :wink:

Hello, I know this is a old Post. Thought I would share what I do. I have not tried this with SmartThings. “I am new to SmartThings.” However you can use IFTTT RSS Feed. Then you can have it trigger your lights or maybe something else. I used my Hue lights.

If This Action:
1st. Create a new Trigger using RSS Feed.
“New feed item” or “New Feed Item Matches”

2nd. Find your County Code from alerts. weather. gov

3rd. Add the code to the end of this RSS URL. http://alerts.weather.gov/cap/wwaatmget.php?x=
“Example: https://alerts.weather.gov/cap/wwaatmget.php?x=ARC127”

Then That Action:
“Use your lights or any other option that you would like if you can.” I have Hue Lights and it’s the Action I used.

I hope this helps for anyone who still will like to do weather alerts.
