Wx "Placeholder" Problem

Stan-
Thanks for the additional details. I haven’t heard any reports of issues with the built-in OpenWeather driver, but I also don’t know if most people are using it with SharpTools since it wouldn’t expose a proper weather tile.

Regarding the installation of the Simplified Dark Sky driver, you’ll also need a free DarkSky API key. Since you already have the driver installed, the next step is to create the device:

  1. Open your Hubitat Admin UI
  2. Open the Devices page from the left navigation pane
  3. Tap the Add Virtual Device button at the top of the screen
    image
  4. Enter a name for the device (eg. “Weather”) and select 'DarkSky.net Simplified Weather Driver' for the Type, then press Save Device
  5. After you are redirected to the device screen, enter your DarkSky API Key, enter a valid City name, then scroll down and press Save preferences.

    You can get a free Dark Sky API key here: How Dark Sky users can use the Apple Weather app - Apple Support

After saving the preferences with a valid API key and city name, the device should pull in the weather conditions. Once that’s done, you should be good to authorize the device in SharpTools.io :smiley:
