### Rainy Day Light ###
This requires a [forecast.io](components/sensor.forecast.html) sensor with the condition `weather_precip` that tells if it's raining or not.
Turn on a light in the living room when it starts raining, someone is home, and it's afternoon or later.
```yaml
automation:
alias: 'Rainy Day'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.weather_precip
state: 'rain'
- platform: state
entity_id: group.all_devices
state: 'home'
- platform: time
after: '14:00'
before: '23:00'
condition: use_trigger_values
action:
execute_service: light.turn_on
service_entity_id: light.couch_lamp
```
And then of course turn off the lamp when it stops raining but only if it's within an hour before sunset.
```yaml
alias: 'Rain is over'
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: sensor.weather_precip
state: 'None'
- platform: sun
event: 'sunset'
offset: '-01:00:00'
condition: use_trigger_values
action:
execute_service: light.turn_off
service_entity_id: light.couch_lamp
```
