I recently came across an innovative flow created using Buienradar, which automatically opens my awnings when rain is expected. This has been a game-changer for my home automation setup, especially in the Netherlands where weather can be unpredictable. The flow uses Buienradar’s ‘widgets’ feature, providing real-time rain data every 5 minutes with high accuracy. The setup involves integrating Buienradar’s API with my smart home system, allowing me to adjust the trigger time based on my needs—whether it’s immediate or delayed by an hour. The flow also includes a notification system, alerting me when the awnings are activated. This integration has saved me from unexpected rain damage and has been a reliable addition to my smart home ecosystem. If anyone has questions or wants to tweak the flow further, feel free to reach out!
