I’m working on a custom device type that pulls the wind speed down from Weather-underground with the getWeatherFeature() method. It then sends the wind speed value to a ZigBee device over the level cluster. The app is done and working here is the code: JohnRucker/Nuts-Volts/blob/master/dev…

I like the idea of self-containing the device, especially for ease of deployment. I’m really hoping for a future enhancement that lets us “package” devicetypes and parent/child smartapps for easier deployment. Creating SmartApps with child devices (especially multiple child device options is very cu…

[image] JohnR: I would like to reach out to the developer community for some best practice guidance. All input is welcome as I plan on using this app as a sample in an article I’m working on. First off this Custom Device type is unique (to me anyway) since it gets data from a web service and t…

@tgauchat , @Sticks18 , Thanks for the input! Since I posted this earlier this morning I have gone back and created two device types and one SmartApp to do what I was trying to do with one Custom Device type. It looks a lot cleaner and I agree with your guidance! So here is what I’m really doing.…

Nice bit of code. I installed it on my panel the other day. I can update it manually, bit it fails to auto update. Am I missing something?

I was specifically referring to the localweather.groovy bit of code. Fetching a forecast from WB.

Hi John, I have a subscription to the Nuts and Volts and have read both of your articles with regard to Smartthings. I thought there was to be a second article about “CoopBoss” from last January, but in June you came out with the Analog Panel meter article. Both very good articles… With your extens…

Ben, this is interesting can you share a little about the project you have in mind for this?

Hi John, see the following posts Photo of the discontinued shield [image] Announcing the "ST_Anything" Arduino/ThingShield Project Projects & Stories Hi Dan, the two Arduino Shields that I had purchased are as shown in the photo The CEL chip is Model ZICM357SP2-1. The…

I must admit my solution is based off the knowledge I gained from reading @JohnR tutorials and articles.

Hey Glen this thread is a bit old but the project did turn out to be the cover to the June 2016 Issue of Nuts and Volts. You can find more information here Nuts and Volts article on ZigBee and a Panel Meter
