SmartApps & Automations Automation Ideas

Hello, @Jimc1611

One way you can achieve this automation is through the Rules API. The below JSON example describes the next workflow:

  1. If this Water Sensor’s status is dry.
  2. And if Now is between Sunset and Sunrise.
  3. Then Turn On Spray Device for 90 Seconds and Turn it off
