Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Could we have a way to define the rules for when it's considered a good time to wash the car? Unless the sensor is not working correctly, it seems (i'm guesing) that it's only considered a good time to wash the car if only full sun for the next days forecast period.

Describe the solution you'd like

For example, I would like to define my own rules that say it's okay to wash the car even if there is cloud or part cloud in the forecast period.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Not yet considered any alternatives yet.

Additional context

Out of curiosity, what are the rules around what triggers the sensor to change from off to on as a good time to wash the car?

The logic of the sensor:

  • If precipitation is coming soon, there is no point in washing the car;
  • if the temperature is going to go up through 0°C (snow melting), there is no point in washing the car.

In all other cases, you can wash the car.

There will be no manual configuration of rules. The sensor is quite simple — if you need different logic, you can always make your own sensor through templates. Adding manual configuration will greatly complicate the component code.
