Weather + Philips Hue = Rain Alert

#21

also, looking at your ifttt image, you will need something like this in the body:

{“condition”:"{{Condition}}"}

if you wanted to use the condition arg, so you can refer to it as $args.condition in the piston.

I know this thread is old, but seems silly to add a new one. I’m trying to do something similar, when it rains (conditions showing rain in the last hour) a smart outlet turns on, turning on the floor fan plugged into it (heavy enough rain and we get a little water in one spot of our basement and I want to dry the carpet as quickly as possible). Then turn it off a day after it stops raining. I don’t need it to turn on right away or anything, so I think the 1 hour check is fine. I just need something like this until we can get the basement leak fixed.

OK, silly question, but since Accuweather is a “thing” and it shows up in my WebCore, can something this simple work (unknown device 1 is Accuweather)? Thinking through the process it seems like it should work, but it also looks too easy. I can’t really try it considering we’re in the dead of winter.

No worries making a new thread. Reviving an old one will only show for the people who have replied in here. Making a new one will show as new and more eyes potentially.

I would bring your second if (line 26) out as a top level if statement instead of being stuck in the else statement of the first. Other then that it looks fine but won’t know for sure without testing
