How this automation works

Stay informed when strong winds are detected by your Ambient Weather station. This Applet triggers when wind gusts exceed your chosen threshold and sends both a Slack alert and a web request using Webhooks. Perfect for weather enthusiasts, safety monitoring, and outdoor teams tracking local conditions. Note: This requires a reachable webhook endpoint (URL).
