Explanations:A few of these new features bear some explanation.
Forecast Total Precipitation State:A new state added to daily weather devices. It is a derived value from taking the average hourly precipitation intensity and multiplying it by 24 hours. This is the total predicted precipitation for the day.
Timezone Setting:Perhaps not the most appropriately named device setting to display times in either local timezone (the Indigo server timezone) or the location timezone (the geographic timezone of the location being monitored). This setting does not affect certain values--for example, if a weather alert text value says that a warning expires at 10 AM, that's 10 AM *in that location* and will not be modified by the plugin. This setting defaults to the Indigo server timezone and it *should* account for time weirdness (like daylight savings time). The following device states are always displayed in the Indigo Server timezone:
- currentObservation
- currentObservation24hr
- currentObservationEpoch
- Local timezone setting (US Central Time)
