I came up with a template sensor that calculates the optimal sunscreen height so that you can automatically control your blinds based on the sun’s position in the sky.
It uses trigonometry to regulate the amount of natural light while keeping the blinds low enough to block the sun from hitting your eyes.
@basbrus made a very nice blueprint which automates everything for you.
Hi all,
I’m a new blueprint “sunscreen control based…”, user and I’ve installed yesterday this blue print.
My sunscreen cover are in the both side of my flat. Today the first test appear great, thanks to @langestefan blueprint. My problem is regarding wind. In the last week we have experienced wind of 15 m/sec, or 50km/h. I don’t know if is possible to add a "wind " control to raise the awning based on my wind sensor.
Thank you.
Leo
Hi @langestefan,
I need to integrate also wind control for my awning safety.
I’m learning now how to write my automation using templating and so on.
Thank you.
