MTry / homebridge-smart-irrigation

Turn any electrical irrigation valve into a smart-valve.. or run your pumps on a smart schedule based on your climate! This homebridge plugin exposes a multi-zone irrigation sprinkler dummy control system to Apple's HomeKit. Although a dummy, it brings smarts of an evapotranspiration based climate and plant adaptive irrigation controller with the use of OpenWeatherMap API. The plugin can optionally email you, and/or send you push notifications through Pushover or Pushcut, with the watering schedule it has calculated, or when a watering run is completed, along with the next 7-day weather forecast. Added option to expose system controls to Homekit allowing a user to enable/disable irrigation, rechecks, push and email notifications from within the Home App. Associated WaterLevel Characteristic shows the % of watering cycle remaining.

Using Telegram for Notifications? #3

Closed bubffm closed 3 years ago

This looks like a very interesting plugin to use with my irrigation valves.

One question: I am using Telegram plugin throughout my homebridge to push notifications. I'd like to stay with that rather than signing up to yet another notification system (Pushcut).

Would it be possible to use your plugin with the telegram service?

Many thanks

Which telegram plugin are you using?

Will add this to enhancement list 🙂 but at this moment its not. I don't see why it can't be integrated though but will have to check the time it can take me to do so!

The plugin you mention.. does it support sending messages for events that occur in HomeKit? - so for now you could always use it and send yourself messages when irrigation starts or finishes by following the state of the irrigation service exposed here - just that those messages will not have any dynamic data from the Irrigation system.

I know.. not the best option but you will know when watering started and ended!

Yes it does. I'll play around with it. Thanks.

One other thing I noticed: On "real" valves, I get a countdown timer next to the waterdrop symbol in EVE.
On the "dummy(s)" created by your plugin, I get the moving waterdops in EVE but no countdown timer next to it. Is this intentional?

On the contrary.. there is a countdown timer at the valve as well as the service levels! Is this what you observe in the Home app as well!? I am unable to reproduce this as I do see these remaining duration timers!
