Cannot get NOAA weather to work.

So I have turned on the NOAA weather plugin. Now what. I want to create a trigger based on wind speed. The example in the wiki does not work. The first thing it says to do is under type select Plug In. That choice does not exist. 2022.1. Step by step instrections please that really work.

Re: Cannot get NOAA weather to work.

Hey there. Sorry you're having trouble. First, let's make sure that the NOAA plugin is set up properly.

  • Make sure the NOAA Plugin is enabled on the Plugins menu. There should be a green dot next to the plugin's name in the list.
  • Create a NOAA Weather Device.
  • Select 'New Device' from the File menu.
  • From the Edit Device dialog, select Type: NOAA Weather.
  • Under Model: select either 'Current Weather' or 'Weather Station'. Current Weather devices use GPS coordinates and Weather Station devices use ICAO airport identifiers. You can use the "Find NOAA Stations" button to find the closest one to you if you don't know it. It should looks something like "KORD".
  • Once the plugin has had a chance to reach out to get some new data, it will be listed in the device's states. If the plugin has been unsuccessful getting data, you'll get an error message or "- data unavailable -". You can try a different station ID or wait until it's successful. This is not an error in the plugin -- some weather stations can be inconsistent.

Create your trigger. I've selected to run the trigger whenever there is a new observation time, but you could also use "Wind MPH". Conditions are optional, but I've included an example.
