A simple homeyscript fetching the yr.no APIs hourly and keeping a few betterlogic varaibles updated with information about the rain condition the last four hours and the next hour.

You need to prepare and create three variables in better logic. Install better logic app, if you do not have it already. These are the variables:
Variable name
type
Initial value
yr_precip_hour
number
0
yr_rainy
boolean
false
yr_history
string
null
yr_precip
number
0
Next, you need to setup a flow that runs once ever hour that executes the homeyscript above.
Now, you can create flows that triggers when the variables yr_precip_hour or yr_rainy changes.
yr_rainy is true if the precipation sum of the last four hours and the next hour is more than 1.5 mm.
