Any chance of a way to automate the activation of the weather obelisk?

I'd like to second this. The weather obelisk's refusal to cooperate with the rest of the mod's otherwise seamless automation capabilities seems rather half-baked. It has an option for redstone control in its GUI that does absolutely nothing.
I'd like to see the ability to fire a weather rocket with a redstone pulse, so I can drown my server in an eternal storm (without having to click the stupid little check mark every few minutes)! >=)

Please post a suggestion here for a weather detector http://ideas.theideawall.com/EnderIO/

If this is not working report it as bug please.

Actually, it was originally intended for the weather obelisk to respond to redstone. So I will file this under "missing feature".

I'd imagine something like a daylight sensor, maybe an inverter/NOT Gate and comparator setup would work. Only during the day though. Otherwise plenty of other mods have something to detect weather. Like OpenComputers.
