How to connect Motion and Open Weather
Create a New Scenario to Connect Motion and Open Weather
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.
Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Motion, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Motion or Open Weather will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Motion or Open Weather, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

- Merging: Combine different node branches into one, passing data through it.
- Plug n Play Nodes: Use nodes that don’t require account credentials.
- Ask AI: Use the GPT-powered option to add AI capabilities to any node.
- Wait: Set waiting times, either for intervals or until specific dates.
- Sub-scenarios (Nodules): Create sub-scenarios that are encapsulated in a single node.
- Iteration: Process arrays of data when needed.
- Code: Write custom code or ask our AI assistant to do it for you.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Motion, Open Weather, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Motion and Open Weather integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Motion and Open Weather (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Motion and Open Weather
Open Weather + Motion + Google Calendar: This automation checks the weather forecast from Open Weather. If the forecast is suitable (e.g., not raining), Motion creates a task. This task is then added to Google Calendar as an event to schedule outdoor shoots.
Open Weather + Motion + Slack: When Open Weather detects rain in the forecast, Motion reschedules any existing outdoor activity tasks. Slack then notifies the team about the rescheduling due to weather conditions.
