Sensors
Every sensor LocalSky can use, from both Home Assistant and its own native sources, with the live readings flowing from them. Soil moisture feeds the per-zone skip decision; weather feeds ET.
Where do sensors come from?
It doesn't matter where a device lives. LocalSky and Home Assistant mirror each other, so a sensor added in either place shows up in both. You don't add probes here one by one.
From Home Assistant: anything HA already sees, Ecowitt soil probes, a Tempest, any weather or moisture entity, is imported automatically and appears here and on the Devices page. Pair a new probe in its own app first (for Ecowitt that's the Ecowitt / WS View app); once HA sees it, it shows up with no per-probe setup. Assign soil probes to zones in the zone editor.
From LocalSky directly: add a source LocalSky talks to itself, a LAN Ecowitt gateway, a webhook, MQTT, with "Add a data source" below. Receiver sources show live readings here the moment data arrives, so you can confirm it's working. Discovered gateways and controllers are listed on the Devices page.

Soil sensors here are assignable to zones in the zone editor. Pair a new probe in its app and it appears here automatically.
