Close blinds while it rains

[renne]

@alisdairjsmyth
While it rains blinds/shutters should be closed to keep the windows clean and avoid rain inside through the windows.

I suggest to add a bool variable "raining" for that purpose.

@renne - I am presently reconsidering how climatic thresholds are implemented. At the moment, there are three supported thresholds:

• cloud cover
• temperature
• uv index

Each has a threshold which overwrites the automated calculation associated with sun position. I am considering making this more generalised, which would make it easier to support any threshold including for rain

Hi all,

Happy about this node! I am using it to control screens instead of shutters. Works like a charm. I would like my screens to open when it rains in order to keep the screens dry.

Curious to know it progress of this topic.

Rain just needs a bool state. If it rains, close the blinds to protect closed windows from dirt or open windows from raining into the room. For screens the logic just needs to be inverted.
