I like to control my sunblind with the Weather Underground app to prevent it for heavy winds.  
I have made some flows for different wind forces that set the sunblind back to a certain percentage out, the more wind, the lower the percentage out.  
But that should only work when the sunblind is out and not when it is 100% in.  
And there is the problem, there is no card for it to prevent the flow from acting when the sunblind is 100% in.  
So the practice is that the sunblind can be set from 100% in to a certain % out when the wind comes above a defined threshold.  
Somebody that has a solution for this?  
The sunblind I have to control is a Brel device.

Did you check the logic cards?  
All, or many states are avaliable as tags, which you can use as condition:

The proposed logic cards don’t show _all_ possibilities btw:

Hi Peter,

Thanks already for your answer.  
No I didn’t check them but I took a brief look at it now.  
I think I can’t use them because the sunblind positions are noted in percentages and the Logic position notation must be between 0 and 1.  
So now I’m trying to find out if 0,7 means the same as 70%.  
But I will have a closer look if there is something usable.

Yeah that’s a bit weird @ Homey.  
The values we see in the app are calculated, and show us 0 - 100%

But, the actual number (in flows and logic) is 0 - 1 with two digits (25% being 0.25)

I think I best try to make a test flow to test out if these values are the same or not. I will let the outcome know.
