Describe the issue

When weather is cloudy or rainy covers are being adjusted as for sunny for windows where sun is in front of. My climate settings are only for: sunny and party cloudy. Is related to room temperature, when condition is "intermediate" is correct when "summer" is like with sun. Maybe it was intended like this but for me is useless when is cloudy or rainy and even above comfort temperature have covers closed.

This integration is designed to reduce glare by adding climate control options through the climate mode. In summer mode, when temperatures exceed the maximum comfort level, we aim to prevent any direct or indirect solar radiation above the glare threshold, as it will heat the room even if the sun is not visible during the day.

The full algorithm decision tree is available in the readme.

I understand but from using integration last 3 months I noticed that when is sunny closing covers significantly reduce rise of temperature in certain room but when cloudy or rainy doing nothing and if not open manually I must use light during day.... It is only suggestion because I really like this integration. Maybe weather checking should be higher than temperature checking. Something as it was described in the past

Taking this opportunity I would like to ask how illumination level is taken into consideration when temperature is above upper level and lux entity is below threshold?

All the best
