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.

How to set a cycle in the morning and one in the evening? #5
I am irrigating my plants once in the morning and once in the evening as required. I thought I might be able to this with the cycles setting, but see that serves a different purpose.
Is there a way to set the plugin to water once on sunrise and once an hour or two ahead of sunset?
This is not possible. The purpose of cycles is to give a little breather between each watering as the irrigated bed soaks up the water.. rather than being dumped with the entire water requirement which otherwise could possibly run off!
