Mostly a frustration of having my smart Adaptive Cover know when there is no sun.

Describe the solution you'd like

A nice feature to have (although with the new toggle and automation it can be accomplished in other ways) would be if you could link a weather device to Adaptive Cover with an option to ignore certain weather patterns. I thought I saw this but after going through the settings I was mistaken. For instance, today is raining and snowing and the sun has yet to be seen, in which case I don't need adaptive cover yet it still ran. Since HA standardizes the major conditions it should be easy since there are only 9 or 10 conditions they summarize into and most HA compliant weather integrations honor that.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Automation + new toggle that was added to 1.1.0

Additional context

That's all folks. Great add-on, I look forward to it being a huge part of my summer heat mitigation plan to save energy!

Weather conditions are already part of the climate mode decisions tree, but optional based on whether you have supplied a weather entity

I thought I saw that in there but couldn't find it, I'll dig deeper!
