Why this helps
Manually checking the forecast and then toggling an irrigation controller creates one more small task that can be forgotten.
- Evaluate the forecast at a time that fits your irrigation routine.
- Use a stated forecast rule to decide whether the output should be high or low.
- Keep the device instruction and run report in one Notis automation.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AccuWeather and Bolt IoT once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis what you want from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, name the Bolt device and pin, specify the AccuWeather forecast condition and threshold to use, and state which output level means irrigation on or off.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule, then choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real forecast and verify the Bolt output matches your stated rule.
Questions about this workflow
Does AccuWeather provide an irrigation trigger event here?
No. Notis starts this workflow on a schedule and reviews forecast information as part of the instruction.
What threshold should I use?
Choose a forecast detail and threshold that suit your irrigation setup. The workflow should follow the rule you provide; no threshold is assumed.
