I have Tile, and I also have Phillips Hue lightbulbs, which I currently have hooked up to email and social media alerts, but, if I felt so inclined, I could easily connect to a weather forecast. Or... I could just have a weather alert app on my phone (I'm sure there are tons of them).

Current technology has already solved the generic version of this problem. What you've done is solve this problem again, but only for a very specific use case, while requiring the user to buy in to a bunch of specific software and overhead that only helps them in that specific use case.
