Beat the Heat

Start Event

Since we still want to let some light into our home in the morning while temperatures are still low, we chose to use a start event set for 2 hours after sunrise.

Conditions

Add a "Temperature" Condition

Add a condition for "Temperature" and select "Daily Maximum" and "greater than". We have chosen 30°C (around 86°F) as our threshold, but you can adjust this value to your preference.

Steps

Add a "Control Accessories" Step

Instead of controlling a single device, use the "Control Accessory Types" step and select the entire home with "Window Covering" as the service type. Then set target position to 0% to close all blinds. If you only want specific rooms, choose those rooms instead of the whole home.

Final Overview

Every day, two hours after sunrise, the workflow checks whether the daily high will exceed 30°C / 86°F. If it does, all blinds are automatically closed. Even if you add more blinds in the future, they'll be included automatically, since the workflow controls accessory types rather than individual devices.
