Buienradar Flow

Can someone post a flow with Buienradar that works?
I have screens and I want to get them up just before rain.
I tried a lot but it does not work...

But somehow I think this will not help you...
Duplicated this flow several times and changed the screens in the flows. But only one screen goes up...
The other ones stay down...
Most of the time the screens are already up because of clouding, to much wind or because it has been past a specific time. But it does trigger since I do receive the push notice.
I use ZWave, but I tried. We'll see.
@RuudvB :
What does the Boolean?
See my screenflow:
I often check the tags (state of the screen) and the state of the screens is almost always right...
I use the variable screen for a "switch" on the homey dashboard. By flipping the switch I can trigger all screens up or down.
Why use the "and" column if the state is not up? If the screens are already up, they won't go up again
Also while testing flows, I tend to eliminate parameters that somehow could prevent a flow from executing....
Adding the "and" column when the flow works well is what I like to think of as optimizing. Since the flow from @obeliks
is not executing, the optimizing part can be left out for the moment.
I made a new flow:
Nothing happens...
And yesterday there were a lot of possible (rain)triggers...
Now I made a new test; based on the fact that before it rains, it gets darker:
Maybe this works...
depending on the LUX being triggered, this one should also work. I use several combinations as stated above.
I don't mind what triggers the screens to go up, they just should go up when necessary
As for the not working flow; you are sure the "send a message" part works...? Sounds a bit silly, but sometimes....
Now I want to check if the 'darkness' stays for a while (not only a cloud for the sun, for example).
How do I do that?
I trigger a Countdown? And then?
