I just created my first piston and what I am trying to do is have my whole house fan turn on if my presence sensor shows I am home, the temp on any of 3 sensors is 80 degrees or above, my thermostat is set to idle and the temp outside is less than or equal to 76 degrees.
If that happens I want the whole house fan to turn on and get a SMS notification. Otherwise keep it off.
Did I do it right? Am I missing anything?
I believe your trying to get outside temp withe the {$weather}. That’s the wrong format. It should be
$weather.conditions.current_observation.temp_f - for farenheight
Or
$weather.conditions.current_observation.temp_c -for Celsius
Check out this page for weather related formats

Otherwise it looks like it should work, welcome aboard!
Another noob question. I didn’t see the option you stated in the drop down, how do I go in and edit the code manually to add in the line you suggested?
Your referring to $weather?
Tats an expression. Select expression and type $weather.conditions.current_observation.temp_f
Here let me help, I changed it in this version. From there you can see what and how it’s done
Import that piston and try
Ok, I think I have it. How does it know what location it is referencing for the current outside temp? Do I need to add a line that state a zip code or something?
It references the wether for your hub. Whatever zip code you entered in for the hub you setup
