This plugin checked weather forecast. When weather-based rain delay is enabled, the weather will be checked for rain every hour. If the weather reports any condition suggesting rain, a rain delay is automatically issued using the below set delay duration.

The plug-in includes a manifest declaring weather/Netatmo network and rain-delay control access, uses the shared OSPy worker lifecycle, closes Netatmo HTTP responses, and reports data source, checks, active delay and errors through the Diagnostics health interface.

Plugin setup

• Check Use Automatic Rain Delay: If checked use automatic rain delay plugin is enabled.

• Delay Duration (hours): Type delay duration in hours (minimum is 0, maximum is 96 hours).

• Status: Status window from the plugin.
