Offshoot topic but is there such a thing as an outdoor leak sensor? I’d love to have one on my pool equipment but it would need a way to ignore rain.

- rootusrootus 3y agoYou'd need something with brains. Detecting the water is easy, but you want something that can check local weather and correlate with that. Ideally a rain sensor at the same location. I could do this with my Tempest and Home Assistant, I'm sure. But... I've never had a pool equipment leak that bothered me. All my equipment is outside the house and a leak isn't a top concern. if it were in the garage, I'd be more inclined to put a sensor there, but then rain correlation wouldn't be a problem.
