Automation based on outside temp

Configuration
1

So the thing i want to do is turn on switch.driveway_socket at different times based on the temperature outside

kinda like this

if temp outside between -1 to -10 turn on 06:00
if temp outside between -11 to -20 turn on 05:00
if temp outside between -21 to -30 turn on 04:00
if temp outside < -31 turn on 03:00

Times and temps are just examples but is this possible to achieve?

You can totally do this with an automation that has a template trigger.

Answering this spring in 27C sunshine and thinking ‘poor bastard’.

When is the conditional temp being measured. It could be different at 3am and 5am - your problem is not particularly well defined.

You can however create a series of automations to look at the outside temp at 3, then 4 then 5 etc.

However what happens if it is -28 at 3am then goes down to -32 at 3.30.

Things to ponder.

Hmm good question… i need an automation to check the temp like every 15 min… dunno if thats possible tho
