Buienradar automation

1

Hi all, new to HASS
can someone please teel me how to create an automation that atcs in case buienradar changes the weather condition to rainy?

I installed the Buienradar services but can really get the automation setup.

The automation should close a rollershutter when it starts raining.

thanks.

I dont use the integration that you are using but normally a weather integration should provide you a weather entity. Just simply look up in the integration page which entities the integration created.

This weather.(somebytheintegrationprovidedname) entity normally shows you a state which is the actual weather condition like “sunny” “cloudy” “rainy” or whatever. This condition is what you can use as the trigger for your automation

Hi @dsimons2710, welcome.

It depends a bit on the sensor you use.
If you use weather.buienradar, your trigger could/should be something like this:

trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id:
      - weather.buienradar
    to: rainy

If you use the Condition detailed, Buienradar - Home Assistant, you likely need to add some more states. If I am not mistaking, you can add the states like this, using yaml mode:

platform: state
entity_id:
  - sensor.buienradar_detailed_condition
to:
  - rainy
  - partlycloudy-rain
  - light-rain
  - snowy-rainy
  - partlycloudy-light-rain
  - etc

You don’t necessarily need to enter the from-state.

In the action you need to put the action to close your rollershutter. I cannot help you with that without you sharing your automation.
