Automate my sunscreen based on weather apps

Configuration
1

hi,

im pretty new here. Can someone give me some advice:

i’ve started with one of my first automations. The first trigger which i have set is that the total production of my pv pannels should be above a certain number of watt. The second trigger i would like to add is that it should check if one of my weatherapps says its gonna rain within x minutes. So i’ve installed local apps like Buienradar of Buienalarm. But this apps doest contain a trigger.
Again, im really new with HA and dont know how to configure this. Do i need another app?

I’m assuming that buienradar provides a weather entity to home assistant, and that your using homeassistant version 2023.9 or later which changed the way to get forcasted weather data. See https://www.home-assistant.io/blog/2023/09/06/release-20239/#weather-forecast-service for information on how to now retrieve this weather data. I made a template sensor(https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/template/) to store the relevant part of the weather forcast that i use in my automation triggers.
