Scene: New weather trigger

I would like to be able to create scenes:

  • if wind speed > 20 km/h, close the shutters
  • if full sun AND wind speed < 20 km/h, open the shutters, open the pool
  • if storm, close some shutters, check the windows, close the pool, notify me
  • if rain, turn off the sprinklers
  • if frost, notify me

I saw in another post about AI and weather that you could retrieve weather data: it would be great to have this data in a « device » that could serve as a trigger

Hi, that’s not what I had in mind. Here, we’re going to make a weather-specific trigger!

To properly understand the difference between a « trigger » and a « device », is the following true?
A trigger can only be used in the « trigger » block.

A device can be used in the « trigger » block (device state change),
but also in the « condition » block (« condition on variable » with the value « get last state »)
and also in all formulas for calculations on this retrieved variable
and also in the display of the « device » widget

Yes!

But if you want us to create a scene condition, that can be something too :slight_smile: You’ll need to create another request in that case!

ok, I’ll create the feature request for the conditions, but I think it would be great to have a weather device with all the features!

Hi everyone!

This topic is now under development.

A PR has been opened to add a dedicated weather scene trigger:
