A driver update will be pushed out soon, but before I do I want to give everyone a heads up that this update will likely cause your existing devices to have errors. You will have to create new weather devices (with the new driver) using the button at the bottom of the Controls screen. Copy and paste your URLs to the new device and set up the rest of the device Settings (weather source, proxy address & type, and unit conversions).
I apologize for the inconvenience but there will be some benefits to do this such as the new fields I’ve added, plus immediate fixes to all the field labels on the device Controls screen.
Here is a summary of the changes:
- Support for Weather Undergound
- Correct labels on all fields
- Addition of low and high temperatures (current conditions & forecast)
- Addition of wind gust (current conditions & forecast)
- More consistent setting of fields to 0 when no data is available
- Changeout of dew point field to use SmartThings stock capability
- Addition of unit conversion option of Pascals for received barometric pressure data (needed for US Gov)
- Addition of unit conversion option of meters/hr for received precip data (needed for US Gov)
- Removal of Refresh button: manual refresh can now be initiated with a standard swipedown gesture on the Controls screen
- Removal of Dark Sky as Settings option
- Removal of UV index field
One outstanding issue is that some fields are still not showing the units value. This is related to the SmartThings platform change that caused the labels to no longer work. Fix is TBD.
I will post again once I push the driver out, but be forewarned that once you have the new driver, you’ll need to create new devices.
