The AI built a wind watcher that shuts off my 10 foot Halloween figure

He added a 10 foot Oogie Boogie figure next to Jack and worried strong winds would damage it. He had the AI build a script that watches wind speeds at the airport and turns off the WiFi switch running the fan when the wind passes a set limit.

How it works

  1. Add a 10 foot Oogie Boogie figure next to Jack
  2. Have the AI build a monitoring script
  3. The script watches wind speeds at the airport
  4. If the wind goes over the set limit, it turns off the WiFi connected switch running the fan

Why it’s worth knowing

It does not just warn him. It can cut the power to the fan on its own when the wind picks up.
