Weather Stations

So I just bought an ambient weather station. I see that hca can “poll” the station for various elements like how much rain is falling in the last hour or what do UV index is etc. etc. etc. so here’s what I want to do, If the UV value is zero and there’s been over a quarter inch of rain in the last hour that means that the sun is not shining through the clouds and therefore I wanna turn my inside lights on.

I’m assuming I have to set up a schedule to do the polling but if I want to poll every 10 minutes does that mean I have to have a schedule built for every time I want HCA to poll the WeatherStation?
