Hi @Erik erik,

I have a flow that turns on the sprinkler.

As a condition I want to set that it only switches on when the rain forecast (rainTo) from the weather service is 0 and the weather (description) is "Wolkenlos) .

Furthermore it should switch on either 5 or 10 minutes, depending on the weather forecast, if sunny then 10 minutes, if cloudy only 5 minutes. Then I would be able to do it myself, but I need the values rain (.forecasts[0].rainTo) and weather forecast (.forecasts[0].symbol.description) as conditions, he should get these values with the JSON query from the weather service: http://daten.buergernetz.bz.it/services/weather/district/6/bulletin?format=json&lang=de

This are may flows:

Thanks a lot

Philipp
