Automation using weather.Home

Configuration
1

Hi,
Im trying to use weather forecast in my automation. I would like to use weather state ( ‘sunny’ ) to close blinds but without success. I prepared test with TV trigger, the weather state is ‘Sunny’ but not working.
What’s wrong with this ?

    message: Weather changed state!

Remove the line

attribute: forecast

In addition, remove the State Condition because, in this case, it’s redundant.

Thx a lot! Working!

Again, new problems. I added new conditions it’s stops working.

Why is wanted state: sunny.
Automatition should work: when Sun is below 60.0 and weather state is partlycloudly or sunny

Your current defined conditions read as follows:

  • The sun’s elevation is below 60° and
  • It is currently sunny and
  • It is currently partly sunny or […]

In other words your hierarchy seems to be wrong at the moment you define an or related condition, but only provide one condition. Try moving the Or relationship up, so that it relates to sunny and partly sunny.

Thanx, look professional :grinning:

I changed conditions like this:

- id: '1615020332816'
  alias: TV ON at day
  description: ''
  trigger:
  - platform: device
    device_id: d299138eaaf0b16575f8ef26fedb2336
    domain: media_player
    entity_id: media_player.sony_bravia_tv
    type: turned_on
  condition:
  - condition: numeric_state
    entity_id: sun.sun
    attribute: elevation
    below: '65.0'
  - condition: or
    conditions:
    - condition: state
      entity_id: weather.home
      state: partlycloudy
    - condition: or
      conditions:
      - condition: state
        entity_id: weather.home
        state: sunny
  action:
  - scene: scene.close_roller_when_sunny_and_tv
  mode: single

and now works.
Thanks a lot
