OpenWeatherMap on iHost: bring weather forecase into iHost as actionable virtual devices

Published at : 23 Dec 2025

I have started using virtual devices on the iHost for some time, and this time I am using virtual temperature and humidity sensors to display weather forecast data from OpenWeatherMap. And these sensors can than be used on Scenes to create custom automations based on forecast data.
