homebridge-smart-irrigation VS homebridge-messenger

If I were starting over, I would get some solenoid water valves I can control from Homebridge or HomeAssistant. I think both of them have an irrigation module that does a lot of the work for you if it can open and close the irrigation valves. This one looked promising but I've not spent the time to get it running because my yard is really too simple to be worth it, and we've gotten plenty of rain lately. https://github.com/MTry/homebridge-smart-irrigation

homebridge-smart-irrigation

Here is my code on GitHub and you can find the variable declaration on line #28 and it being used in line # 350 among others..

Just published a new release version 1.4.0

One way I may be able to achieve that is with HomeBridge messenger sending an email as email are a trigger to personal automations. From there I’m looking to make a dedicated automation email address. I can even use different subjects to trigger different automations. I’ll report back when I have it implemented.

Big fan of https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger (which yes, includes a Pushover option among others)

The only thing I can think of is using homebridge-messenger to send yourself an email which then triggers an automation. But I think that might be too slow for a situation like that.

And after Setup, try also this plugin: https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge-dummy#readme it’s enabling so much automations, it’s crazy. Or: https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger together with Pushover - pushover is a 5$ one time purchase and after that you can send push notifications as you like.

For example, I use a homebridge plugin like homebridge-messenger (https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger) to create a couple of homekit virtual switches that will trigger an IFTTT applet with webhook. The IFTTT applet will send the push notification. Then it's just a matter of creating a homekit automation that triggers the correct virtual switch when certain condition is met (like in your case the weather drops/rise to certain degree).

I used https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger

It's not free, but the iOS pushover app ($5) works decently with the homebridge messenger plugin (don't edit config.json directly but use the plugin Settings button to configure it).

Ah, there is already a pushover plugin -- it's a part of Homebridge Messenger: https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger

Agreed. I use Pushover with Homebridge Messenger and the setup is pretty straightforward: https://github.com/potrudeau/homebridge-messenger.
