Z Wave Blinds controlled depending on weather?

It’s easy to do, you just have to define “weather” in a way that is actionable.

A lot of people use a lux sensor and only close the blinds during the daytime if the light level is above a certain number. You can do that with the official smart lighting feature.

But then you do need a device capable of measuring the light level.

If you don’t want to add another device, the IFTTT service has a free
Weather channel who’s triggers include a change to “cloudy.” In that case, the simplest way to handle things would be to have that trigger change the mode, but you might end up setting up a lot of different modes in that case.

Core is a community created rules engine which is very powerful, and which I suspect could take either the IFT TT notification or the Lux sensor and give you a “while” condition. You should ask in the peer advice thread for that. ( Core calls and individual rule a “piston.”)

There are other ways to do it as well, so again, it just comes down to the first question of how are you defining “weather.” :sunglasses:
