For indoors there is an app which triggers when moist and/or nutrition values are out of an adjustable range:

> Xiaomi mi flora sensor/ropot app This app integrate the Xiaomi mi flora sensor and Xiaomi mi flora ropot into Homey. [image] Keep in mind: For an optimal signal strength keep the sensor within a close distance of Homey. Always download the original Xiaomi Mi Flora app and add the devices to the app. This automatically updates the sensor’s firmware to the latest version. Support Do you like the app?

[Misol](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.misol/Misol-and-Ecowitt/) f.i. has a soil moisture probe for outdoor use.  
When the imaginary garden-app can read out a weather app like Openweathermap, which uses local (or closest to you) weather stations, the precipitation value can be used to decide if, and for how long the garden should be watered.

Imho for custom things like an ‘advice’ on the best moment to fertilize the garden every month, but only when it’s gonna rain… you’ll need just 2 flows and a weather app:

- Flow 1  
When..  
-every month  
And…  
-precipitation today is greater than X mm  
Or..  
-precipitation tomorrow is greater than X mm  
Then…  
Notification: Time to fertilize garden  
Else…  
-enable Flow 2

- Flow 2  
When..  
-every day  
And…  
-precipitation today is greater than X mm  
Or..  
-precipitation tomorrow is greater than X mm  
Then…  
-notification: Time to fertilize garden  
-disable Flow 2 after 1s.
