Cloud Coverage without flapping

I’ve automated some blinds based on temperature and cloud coverage, however cloud coverage is fickle since it varies throughout the day. What I’m really looking for is to make a singular decision in the pre-dawn hours for the day based on the forecast and stick to that, rather than make evaluations throughout the day.

Curious what people use for non-live weather updates. I really just want a % average of cloud cover expected for the day, not something that adjusts throughout the day.

Hello raccettura,
I would bet if you use the info from the daily forecast as provided the day before, that would be a good guess for the next day. Grab that the day before and store it in a text helper.

That’s an interesting solution. I could store the upcoming forecast it in a input_number before midnight, then use it as a static number throughout the day.

I’ll give that a shot. Thanks.
