Hello,


I see in this community a lot of request to get a meaningful integration with one of the major hubs on the Market. 

Looking at the integration with amazon, google can't be described as meaningful. For example, I'm not interested to command the water of the lawn via voice. I expect that Netro knows when to water and when not. What is interesting is to get a notification is somethings wrong. 

For example, the app tells that the sprite has watered the lawn but the whisperer indicates that the ground is dry. Another example would be that there are problems with the whisperer.


Hence I'm wondering when we can expect an integration to for example home assistant. 

Data out of the API

Dear Netro,


Although you have provided a lot of data via the api. And for all of you who wanted to get data out to your smart hub, it's there for the grabs ! 

ONE DOWNSIDE, i would have expected the battery data of the plant sensor to be provided for the start and potentially the state of the sensor. Although that you could potentially use the last update, to deduct this. When can we expect this to get updated ? 

Meaningful integration to any home automation platform

Dear,


I've now integrated Netro with amazon, google and IFTTT. None of these integrations are meaningful. I don't want to use a smart speaker to control the Netro devices. The weather and the plant types define my watering schedules, they don't need my voice.

What i'm looking for is the data collected from the Whisperer, watering schedules (past, present and future) and the health of the devices (offline/online, battery, etc.). 

My main home automation platform is Home Assistant and it would be great if we would have a Netro plugin to this system like you see with Rachio (https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/rachio/).


Thank you so much,

Regards,
Jens
