Thanks for the quick reply Gary.

The first rule is this one;

I would have different messages for the different lightning steps (\>35kms, 20km, 10km, 5kms), and would set conditions so that a message would only interrupt once for each distance, apart from the 5km one.

I currently have the following workaround for it that is less sophisticated than I would prefer - but does work.

 ![webCore%20Lightning%20annoucnement](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/8/8a87cbbe908af91bfa0a2e7717d889792a6e9c8e.png)

I would also like to build a rule where my kids can press a button that will check the UV index, and depending on result range, a specific announcement will be made on a Sonos. Eg;

- if between 0-4, announce “The sun isn’t too bad today, you don’t have to worry about sunscreen. Go get some vitamin D”
- If between 4.1-6, announce; “If you are popping in for a quick swim, you won’t need sunscreen, but if you are planning on staying in for more than 15 minutes, put sunscreen and a swim shirt on”
- if greater than 6, announce; “You need to sunscreen up and put a swim shirt on”

Something like that.
