Spring is here and I wanted to improve on my existing watering schedule using the power of Apple Homekit’s Convert to Shortcut’s based automations.


In this video, I go through the details of creating a complex automation that will only water the lawn under the following conditions
- 12pm midnight
- Only on Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday’s
- Only if the predicted low temperature is above 5 degrees Celsius
- Only if there’s less than an 80% chance of rain the following day


All of this in a single Apple Homekit automation that will run on your Apple Homehub whether or not you’re home.
