Over the years, my wife and I have shut the blinds and curtains on the east side of the house to control the heat in the summer months, and then later in the day, we shut down the blinds and curtains on the west side of the house. I keep telling my wife I could automate the blinds and curtains, and my wife keeps telling me, “No.”

So today, she asked me if a notification could be set to do the same thing. I again offered to automate the blinds and curtains. She again said no, so I’m willing to compromise and play the long game until she tells me to actually automate them.

For now, she wants me to create a notification based on the following conditions:

  • Outside current temperature.
  • Forecasted current temperature.
  • Position of the sun.

I know how to get the temperature, but I’m a bit stuck on the position of the sun and if there is anything else I should monitor, that would then send the Phone notification.

Help??
