A really useful plugin. Helps tremendously with automating window shades and some automated ventilation windows.
Its been a while since the last post...but will throw in another use case for having precipitation accessible more easily:
'if rain is probable, close (or don't open) the ventilation window'. [which will cool the house, but let in water if it rains]
Appreciate the best solution is probably I add a local rain sensor. I assume a rain gauge (thats for measuring total rainfall) isn't going to be quick enough to register the commencement of a shower before I get half a mm of rain in the window [??].... I see sensors like those on car windscreens are around...I'm casting around for something less costly than the Fakro sensor.
