I’m trying to figure out how to get a piston to trigger when the precipitation potential is > 70%. I’m using the Weather Station Tile 2.0 https://community.smartthings.com/t/release-weather-station-tile-2-0/43833 device handler to get the value.
What am I not doing right?
Is the current percentprecip = to 0.01?
If its not that is why you are getting false.
Have you tried is greater than or less than.
Does that work?
You are using ‘is’ 0.01.
Not used this but perhaps try
is greater than as your trigger and 50% in the expression field or as a value. Have a little play to see what might work.
Data is probably coming in as a string, convert it to a number with one of the functions.
decimal([WeatherTile:percentPrecip]) or integer()
I don’t have the option for “is greater than”. I take it that means that particular function returns a string value…therefor, won’t be useful for me?
Maybe i’ll try the Weather Underground API…
Yeah, the Weather Underground API worked well… nicely documented too!
Expression: $weather.hourly10day.hourly_forecast.pop[0]
“is greater than”
value = 70
