I have a connected Rainsensor. Would love to see this also in HomeKit.

How would you like this to show in HomeKit? And how would you use it?

Awesome plugin, I Like it, But please, Can I have an option to show the rain sensor as a contact sensor, The leak sensor shows an obnoxious big red banner, Thanks :)

Wow that was alarming 😱
It started raining and all my devices gave a critical alert to tell me it’s raining, please can I have the option to have the rain sensor as a nice silent contact sensor, thanks

Agree, the critical alert is quite alarming for the rain sensor. Would like to see this as a contact sensor instead. Thx

Comparable with a smoke detector or motion sensor. The rainbird sensor detects only if rain happened (the amount etc. has to be set manually outside at the device) and set a parameter simply to yes. This will switched back to "no" if the rain sensor is dry again.
So you are able to pause / cancel the irrigation or send the lawn mowing robot back to dock

In HomeKit there is also a Leak Sensor, maybe this would be nice :)
