How LocalSky fits
LocalSky is the server and app. It collects readings, keeps local history, plans watering, and talks to your controller. Run it with Docker or as a Home Assistant OS app. Use it for weather alone if you do not have irrigation.
The Home Assistant integration is an optional companion. It brings LocalSky’s readings, valves, and actions into HA. Existing HA sensors can also supply LocalSky through a separate passthrough source.
Your connections determine what needs the internet. Local devices can communicate over your LAN. Online forecasts, radar, cloud controllers, and remote advisors need their respective services. LocalSky itself requires no vendor account or subscription.
