Stop automation when raining

Configuration

trying to add this to my Driveway automation as I get lots of false activation’s when raining,
I’m unsure where to add this any help is much appreciated.


  **condition: template**
**  value_template: "{{ not is_state('weather.home', 'rainy') }}"**

- alias: Driveway Linecrossing MP3
  trigger:
    platform: state
    entity_id: 
      - binary_sensor.driveway_line_crossing
      - binary_sensor.driveway_field_detection
    to: 'on'
  action:
    - service: media_player.volume_set
      data_template:
        entity_id: 
          - media_player.home_group_2
        volume_level: 1  
    - service: media_player.play_media
      data_template:
        entity_id: media_player.home_group_2
        media_content_type: 'music'
        media_content_id: >
          {% if is_state("input_select.mp3_driveway_alarm_list", "Yoda-BLR-Hmm-Ha") %}
            http://192.168.1.100:8123/local/Yoda-BLR-Hmm-Ha.mp3
          {%-elif is_state("input_select.mp3_driveway_alarm_list", "PulpFictionRemix") %}
            http://192.168.1.100:8123/local/PulpFictionRemix_1.mp3

2021-08-20 16:09:58 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.config] Invalid config for [automation]: [condition] is an invalid option for [automation]. Check: automation->condition. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 77)
