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

Dear, thank you for your feedback. However I've noticed the same response since April. Would it be possible to get a view of a non-committed roadmap regarding the integration capabilities ? Thank you so much, Jens

Hi Jens,

I asked our R&D. We do not have plans to support it this year and we will consider it next year.

I'm in the same situation, I'm even considering selling the Netro and buying the Rachio to have it integrated into my Home Assistant platform.

Jorge, I understand your feeling and I hope the guys from Netro read our comments. That said, the system works perfectly without me doing anything. I just would like to know... So if something isn't really broken don't change it !

Dear Netro folks, you start to loose the battle against your competitors if you are not able to provide some meaningful integration towards a platform like Home Assistant. You have been very vague on the plans and I feel like we'll have the same discussion in a few months. Can you please be more specific on your plans for next year regarding meaningful integrations ? Currently I only see things I don't use and are basically useless.

Great news ! I'm trying to find the link without success. Can you please share it ? Secondly, as a lot us use home assistant (which is python written application and is very open), would it be possible to examine how an integration would look like ?

I see a lot of folks like me that would love to have Netro integrated with Home Assistant. Maybe you can reconsider ?
