    rnbWeather: Current STABLE Version: 4.4.0.0

    rnbWeather is a plugin designed to bring together some of the best online weather services with HomeSeer. Monitor your local climate to control different events around your house or use it to change your irrigation from HomeSeer, using simple events or the more complex with only your mind being the limitation. Setting up weather on HomeSeer is simple. Just follow the built-in setup wizard which will guide you through configuring the different API access.
