I am trying to figure out how to have a switch turn off if the accuweather current condition changes from sunny (or cloudy - or whatever else) to rain.
But I can’t figure out where to find any current condition text to use to trigger that automation.
Does anyone have any insight?
Thank you!
More info:
I found a post that has you add a sensor into the config.yaml file with this:
value_template: “{{ state_attr(‘weather.wx’, ‘forecast’)[0][‘condition’] }}”
However, for me, it’s currently showing as “rainy” but when I look at “weather.wx” on an entity card, it says it’s Party Cloudy. Where’s it picking up Rainy from?
I’m sure I’m querying someplace incorrectly but I don’t know what “correct” is.
Just wondering if you ever got anywhere with this
I need to turn some electrics off in the garden if it starts raining
The only entity I can find of any use is
Weather AccuWeather Precipitation
But this just gives an overall rain figure for the day, rather than expected rain at a certain time
