Is there a way to customize the "Leak"-notification? #22

The term leak ("Leck" in German) for rain isn't that great. I would like to customize the pushed phrase. Is there a way?

ebaauw commented 3 years ago

The notification is a feature of the Home app. Afaik, it only allows you to customise if and when the notification is sent, but not the message text.

Okay. I'm afraid I supposed so. Is there another notification / characteristic I might look for? Or is a "rain=yes" notification not intended by HomeKit?

ebaauw commented 3 years ago

Home doesn’t support custom characteristics, like Rain. Notifications seem to be supported only for a limited number of security-related sensors. Leak seems to come closest, at least in my mind.

Ok. Thanks for all your work - especially for this the Homebridge-hue one. :)
