Weather skill

Weather gives Homie current conditions, forecasts, and rain or wind alerts for the household location. It works only when the skill is installed, enabled, and connected for this home.

Weather gives Homie current conditions, forecasts, and rain or wind alerts for the household location.

A skill gives Homie one narrow job. It can make answers better in that area, but it does not unlock the rest of the house or skip approvals.

Ask for this skill when your request clearly belongs to one of these situations.

• You want to know what to wear, whether to bring an umbrella, or whether weather may affect a plan.
• You want rain, wind, or weather context included in a brief or household nudge.
• You want a simple forecast without opening a separate weather app.

Weather works from the household location and connected forecast service. Weather alerts run inside Homie so they can respect speaking, quiet-hours, and notification rules.

If setup is incomplete, Homie should say what is missing instead of pretending it can act.

Homie can use only the information this skill exposes and only within the permissions the household has granted.

• Current weather
• Hourly and daily forecasts
• Rain and wind alert thresholds

This skill does not give Homie unlimited access. It still follows the same privacy, setup, and approval rules as the rest of Homie.

• It will not know indoor conditions unless another configured skill exposes them.

Skill information should stay with the place that owns it. Calendar events stay in calendars, recipes stay in Cookbook, messages stay in message history, and memories store only durable meaning.

If the skill touches member-specific data, Homie should know which member is asking before it uses private records.

First confirm the skill is installed, enabled, and connected. Then ask with the real object name, such as a calendar, room, recipe, playlist, inbox, or member.

1. 1

   Open Settings or the Skills overlay to see whether this skill is enabled and healthy.

2. 2

   Use plain language.

   Homie can choose the right skill when it has enough context.

3. 3

   If an action would reach outside the household, expect an approval card first.

Most Homie issues come from setup, identity, or approval state. Work through these checks before assuming Homie ignored the request.

• Check whether the skill tile is visible, enabled, and healthy.
• Verify account access, device pairing, and any setup fields the skill asks for.
• For scheduled skill work, check the trusted home setup before assuming Homie forgot.

Check first: Examples in this article work only when the skill exists in this home and setup is complete.

What stays private: Homie changes saved household information only from the household Mac. Background work cannot quietly edit it.

• Open Settings or the Skills overlay to see whether this skill is enabled and healthy.
• Use plain language. Homie can choose the right skill when it has enough context.
• If an action would reach outside the household, expect an approval card first.

• Will it rain today?
• Warn me if wind gets bad.
• Include weather in my daily brief.
