Sounds great. Let me know if you need any help with the integration.

As for the frequency, I have it running more frequently because it only checks *current* conditions so if we’re only getting the weather once per day, we could easily miss the thunderstom that rolls in and soaks the ground. We could look into looking at future forecasts, but I’m not sure what kind of rules we’d want to apply over them. I had been looking for a while for an online data source that could be queried to obtain rainfall accumulation data (e.g., inches of precipitation in the last x days) but couldn’t find one.
