I've run HA for close to a year. I made tons of yard automations on it. The rain sensor tied to my drain pump works better than anything else I set up.

If heavy rain hits the sensor triggers the pump right away. It clears standing water off the yard fast so runoff won't soak the wiring and pool gear around the pool edge. The pump shuts off automatically once the rain dies down too.

I used to rush out mid storm just to check pooling water. No more running outside to babysit it these days. Curious what other handy yard automations y'all have set up in HA.
