How to connect Open Weather and Motion
Create a New Scenario to Connect Open Weather and Motion
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 Open Weather, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Open Weather or Motion will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Open Weather or Motion, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Open Weather Node
Select the Open Weather node from the app selection panel on the right.

Open Weather
Configure the Open Weather
Click on the Open Weather node to configure it. You can modify the Open Weather URL and choose between DEV and PROD versions. You can also copy it for use in further automations.
Add the Motion Node
Next, click the plus (+) icon on the Open Weather node, select Motion from the list of available apps, and choose the action you need from the list of nodes within Motion.

Set Up the Open Weather and Motion Integration
Use various Latenode nodes to transform data and enhance your integration:
- Branching: Create multiple branches within the scenario to handle complex logic.
- 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 Open Weather, Motion, 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 Open Weather and Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Open Weather and Motion (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Open Weather and Motion
Open Weather + Motion + Google Calendar: This automation checks the weather forecast. If the forecast is good and motion is detected, it creates an event in Google Calendar to schedule an outdoor activity.
Motion + Open Weather + Pushover: When motion is detected by a camera, this automation checks the current weather. If the weather is bad (e.g., rain, storm), a Pushover notification is sent, prompting the user to check for property damage.
