I had been using the weather info from SmartThings to put the weather on my ST dashboard. It looked like this:
I am decommissioning it, so switched to HE’s built-in “OpenWeatherMap” device to feed ST. While it works, I am missing some of the data that used to be in SmartThings version. Here is how it looks now:
Funny thing is that I can see the data I need in the “current states” section of the driver in HE (see below), but it is not showing up in ST. Is there a way to show more data? I have tried the different layouts to no avail.
Thanks, @josh - I had seen the first link, and have a different tile on my dashboards using the Media tile, which is linked to the local 7 day forecast, which I made from that info. What I am missing (and I am sorry if I am just daft…) is how to get the attributes you show in the 2nd example from HE into ST (or if there is just something that will give me all the data in the WeatherTile you show, that would be awesome - I don’t care if it comes from HE or not…) Since HE seems to have more attributes in it than are shown in my current ST tile, how do I get the data from HE to ST? That is my missing piece, and I still am not understanding it from the links you sent. (sorry!)
The first link includes a few options. There’s a Custom Tile that is very popular with the community and is rich in detail. There are also some community developed Hubitat weather drivers that might be interesting.
The standard Hubitat weather driver shown in your screenshot doesn’t expose the attributes we are looking for. The only additional almost matched attribute I see from that driver is windSpeed. I’m not sure why they used that naming rather than the wind which is common with weather drivers. Since they are using a unique naming convention, it doesn’t match up with what’s required by the tile. Either way, their standard weather driver is pretty light on details, so if you are looking for more details I would check one of the other options mentioned above.
@josh I read this, not sure I understand what you are suggesting? I see a few options but it does not look like an easiest way forward, I’m sure you have a better solution. I’m using Kurt Sanders HE Ambient Weather Station app which exposes ton of parameters. See picture.
So option 1 I can create tons of variables and make my own custom tile, sounds really lame -:), option 2 hack up the open weather custom tile and either call directly to Ambient API to the habitat device and use this params (I can do it, but really not eager -:)), so I’m not sure it is what you suggest here?
My original reply was in the context of the original thread author’s question and links to helpful resources around displaying weather information.
It also has a screenshot showing the attributes that the standard Weather Tile layout expects. If you have a driver that exposes those attributes, you can use the Weather Tile layout directly. Does your device have those attributes?
My general recommendation around weather is to use one of the options from the Weather Help Article, but if you have a unique use case, I’m happy to discuss (perhaps in a new thread with more context)
