seems that you would most likely use the "precipitation today" variable

Yup, already implemented. Thanks so much!

I have and it is indeed great but not having access to a dealer readily, I am not sure how I'd go about purchasing it. Install is not an issue, it's the purcahsing as it is locked down only for dealers.

under agents-variables, check box that says display system variables... sort by device- it is list under room-weather-.. this will show you some of what you want(current state)

Doh! How could I miss the "system variables" checkbox! Thanks for the pointer!

I have a simple automation in place that opens my home shutters at a certain time of the day. I want to add logic that prevents the shutters from opening if it is raining outside. I installed the "Control4 Weather" driver but am unable to undertand which variable I should be using. I see the "FORECAST_NEXT" variable but what are the possible values? In fact, what are the values for any of the variables? Without knowing the exact values, creating an automation feels like such a hit and run experience.

Any pointers are appreciated.
