I installed OpenWeatherMapHistory but I don’t know how to use it. It has 60 entities after installation. Which ones should I use to create the precipitation sensor? Can you provide examples of Jinja templates?

Is there an option to use a forecasted chance of precipitation entity (as a percentage) to skip at a certain threshold? I don’t have a rain sensor but do have a weather integration that supplies %chance of precipitation. Right now I just manually override, but having a rain skip option based on a forecast would be awesome. Love the integration!

Hi,

You can create a template binary sensor that translates your % to a true/false based on the value. Template - Home Assistant

Then use this as the rain sensor for the zones.

Hi,

There are some samples here: Examples

You do not need to create all the sensors, it is possible to define only the ones you need once you have settled on a use for them.

You can also create jinja templates within the application to build just one sensor that you need using multiple values, see the examples in the documentation linked above.
