Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Homebridge Plugin for the Netatmo Rain Sensor

This Homebridge Plugin makes the Netatmo Rain Sensor accessible to HomeKit as a Switch or Leak Sensor. This makes it possible to use the Netatmo Rain Sensor for all kinds of automations based on rain detection.

Important Notes

There are a couple of limitations to the Netatmo Rain Sensor and its respective API that you should be aware of. These are not limitations of this plugin:

  • The Netatmo API is updated in 10-minute intervals.
    • This means that in the worst case this plugin detects rain with a 10-minute delay.
  • The rain information is accumulated for 30 minutes.
    • This means that this plugin will report rain for at least 30 minutes even if it just rained for e.g. 5 minutes.
  • It is not allowed to poll the Netatmo API too frequently.
    • Therefore the minimum polling interval for this plugin is 1 minute to ensure you comply with the Netatmo rules.

Installation

In Homebridge switch to the Plugins tab. Enter homebridge-plugin-netatmo-rain-sensor in the search box. Click Install.

Plugin Configuration in Homebridge

The configuration is simplified as much as possible and comes with default values that give the fastest possible rain detection.

The main caveat in the configuration is that you need to be registered as a developer at https://dev.netatmo.com/. It is free of charge and basically elevates your existing Netatmo account to a developer account. You need this to obtain your "Client ID" and "Client Secret".

As of version 2.2.0 multiple Netatmo Rain Sensors are supported via the optional serial number configuration field.

Additional Information

HomeKit does not support rain sensors natively right now. Therefore your Netatmo rain sensor is shown as "unsupported" in the Home App and cannot be used for automations. This is a little sad because rain detection can be the trigger for all kinds of meaningful automations.

This plugin basically "wraps" the Netatmo Rain Sensor in the form of a Switch or Leak Sensor which is a device category natively supported by HomeKit. The trigger "Switch On" or "Leak detected" can now act as a starting point for automations.

The way this works is that this plugin polls the Netatmo API periodically in the background and triggers the "Switch On" or "Leak detected" status when rain was detected by the sensor.
