Automatically turn your lights on at sunset
How this automation works
Automate your smart home to respond when rainfall increases beyond your set threshold. When Ambient Weather detects rain above the specified amount, your Husqvarna Automower parks, your Philips Hue lights blink, a Telegram message is sent, and Alexa makes an announcement. Perfect for protecting your lawn equipment and keeping you informed during heavy rainfall. Customize the message to fit your tone.
