Hi,
I’m struggling to work out how to create a rainy day trigger to turn on the lights, using data from the Met Office component / sensor. I’ve all ready got an input_boolean.rainy_day which toggles my lights, but I’d like to automate the toggle.
I was thinking something along the lines of the following (sorry it’s half code half comments)…
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: sensor.met_office_weather
condition:
condition: time
after: 10:30:00
before: 16:00:00
action:
if sensor.met_office_weather is "cloudy" OR "fog" OR "hail" OR "rainy" OR "pouring" OR "snowy"
service: input_boolean.turn_on
data:
entity_id: input_boolean.rainy_day
else
service: input_boolean.turn_off
data:
entity_id: input_boolean.rainy_day
I’ve had a go at using templates but can’t get my head around it.
trigger:
platform: template
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.met_office_weather == 'cloudy' OR 'fog' .....etc }}"
and then turn off by using the opposite
trigger:
platform: template
value_template: "{{ states.sensor.met_office_weather != 'cloudy' OR 'fog' .....etc }}"
I would be ever so grateful if someone could point me in the right direction, thanks!
