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

Sonoff made it easy to use the DIY mode with version 2.0. It is easy to get the devices into DIY mode and almost start using in straight away in your DIY home automation. The API has not changed, that is still same as it was before.

Riding the old tram system of Lisbon. These single car yellow and red trams serve more tourist than locals nowadays. The network is extensive but only fraction of the route is used currently. Some of the busier lines use modern articulated trams but the older lines that climb steep inclines still operate the single car units. Definite advantage that you can stand next to the driver and look ahead.

When I studied the Cards in Vue, I came across an example weather card. And I started adapting them for Node-Red to display data straight from Open Weather Map. Here are 4 different card types to be used in your Dashboard.
