Low and high temperature behaviour #347

Be able to set behaviours on low and high temperatures (using a temperature sensor)

This would be very easy to do using the node-red plugin. That could also be a solution to your request about the fertilizer pump.

LuisMMMTS commented 1 month ago

While it seems a good plan, having to spin-up a node-red instance for this seems overkill. Also because I think this would have a great impact for agricultural purposes, seems to me that integration with the base UI would bring much benefits. I am still not familiar with the codebase but will try to look around to see if I can manage anything

On the other hand I completely agree with you in the part that having node-red makes it easier to gather temperature from severall other sources. Regarding the other issue of the fertilizer pump I still think node-red is overkill for that purpose
