Weather related routine

Hello Google team,

To control shutters, shades and lights it would be helpful to have weather related routines like.

Sun - close blinds 50%

Cloudy - turn on several lights

Rain - shutters down, lights on

Wind -  shutters down 

Is there anything on the market at this moment or how can I realize it. Normally a connection to a local weather station would do it I guess. 

Regards and thanks in advance,

Andre

Assuming you have compatible hardware you can do this in a pretty easy way from the Google Home Script Editor. 
This link takes you to the examples section for the Script Editor documentation , Specifically, it takes you to the example of:

The starter you reference is only triggered by Google internal home sensors such as Google Nest Thermostat.  Andre is asking for environmental event data that is outside the home which is not currently supported by Google Home. While Tempest and Ambient weather stations communicate with Google Home (you can ask Google to tell you that current temperature), this is very basic integration in that it doesn't support triggers from those data sources (as IFTTT and HA can).

this would be very useful for me too. i want to seasonally turn my thermostat off/on when the weather forecast for the next week averages above/below 16 degrees celsius for example. or i could do a simple if >16degrees for now.

Same problem. I have some external shades that I would like to retract in case of rain or strong winds

I figured out an easy enough workaround anyone can do. Samsung Smartthings allows you to create virtual buttons and also routines based on weather. So you can create an on/off virtual switch in samsung smartthings and a routine in ss st to control it based on outside weather. 

 

link SSST to your google home to expose the button/switch. 

 

and then in google automations you can set things to happen when the switch is on/off.
