Outdoor weather
homey_weatherFetch the outdoor weather Homey uses, including current temperature, humidity, pressure, sky description, and forecast, to compare with indoor sensors or plan activities.
Instructions
Reads the outdoor weather Homey itself uses: temperature, humidity, air pressure, a readable sky description, and the name of the town the reading is for, plus the forecast, in one call. Use it to compare outdoors against indoors (pair it with homey_device_get on a room sensor), to answer whether opening a window would help, or to look ahead to tonight's low. Humidity is returned as a percentage from 0 to 100: Homey's own field is a 0 to 1 fraction and is converted here. Temperature is in whatever unit this Homey is configured for, echoed as temperatureUnits, and pressure is given in bar with the millibar (hectopascal) equivalent beside it. Forecast granularity depends on the hardware and is stated explicitly in every result: a daily forecast is always returned, each day carrying its expected, minimum and maximum temperature, where the minimum is effectively that night's low, while an hourly forecast is included only when this Homey offers one and its absence is reported as a plain statement rather than as an error. What it cannot do: it is one reading for one location, the town it names, taken from Homey's weather provider rather than from any hardware in this house, so it is not a substitute for an outdoor sensor in the garden and says nothing about conditions in any individual room. The sky description arrives in the Homey's own language. For outdoor history rather than the present, look for the logs owned by homey:manager:weather with homey_insights_search and query those.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| includeForecast | No | Include the forecast as well as the current conditions. On by default; turn it off for just the reading. | |
| includeHourlyForecast | No | Include an hourly forecast when this Homey has one. On by default. Turning it off skips the extra request on hardware where the hourly forecast is a separate route. |
