Compare document changes with live station data
Use one focused document query to keep weather dependent decisions aligned.
Trigger
Document Search Update

Action

Why this helps

- Connect plan changes to current readings
- Highlight mismatches quickly
- Make review criteria repeatable
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.

- 2Create an automation named Matching doc station comparison.
- 3Tell Notis to retrieve Ambient Weather devices and compare their latest readings with the queried document's stated conditions or thresholds.
- 4Pick Document Search Update as the trigger and choose where reports go.
- 5Test it with one matching update.
Questions about this workflow
Where do comparison thresholds come from?
Provide them in the automation prompt; they are not supplied by the target action.
Can it use historical weather?
