My second milestone was getting the LED to display certain colors when the weather for each group of weathers(rainy,light rain). This is done by defining each weather or key word as a certain color. When the Particle Photon receives the weather, it will automatically match it to the weather group it is in by checking for key words. For example, if the weather condition has the word Storm it would be defined as a storm. Because there are so many weather conditions this is necessary because it allows the device to work even though it sends the weather as something you would not expect such as thunderstorm or light drizzle. I then added a LCD screen as a modification to display the temperature and humidity because San Francisco’s weather is one big mess. A sunny day can be colder than a foggy one. I got both the LED and the LCD working individually and I will try to combine them for the last milestone.

My first milestone was getting the information from Weather Underground to be sent to the particle. At first I used the weather change function on IFTTT to show all the weather but this was a problem because it would only show when the weather changes and not when you turn the device on. So to combat this, I used the get weather function which allowed you to get the weather information every 15 minutes.
