How this automation works
Automatically control your irrigation and Hue lighting based on outdoor temperature. When the Weather Underground temperature rises above your chosen value, the Applet starts a Rachio watering zone and changes your Philips Hue lights to a specified color. Ideal for automating responses to hot weather and managing both yard and home environments efficiently.
