IoT Webhook Scheduling: Smart Home Automation with Solar Events

IoT devices need reliable, precise scheduling for automation. HookPulse's solar event scheduling makes smart home automation simple and reliable.

Solar Event Scheduling for Smart Lights

The Problem

Smart lights should turn on at sunset and off at sunrise, adjusting automatically for seasons.

The Solution

Use HookPulse's solar event scheduling: - Sunset: Turn lights on - Sunrise: Turn lights off

Implementation

# Schedule sunset webhook
schedule_webhook(
    url="https://api.smarthome.com/turn-lights-on",
    schedule_type="solar",
    solar_event="sunset",
    location={"latitude": 40.7128, "longitude": -74.0060},  # New York
    payload={"device_id": "lights-001", "action": "on"}
)
Schedule sunrise webhook
schedule_webhook(
    url="https://api.smarthome.com/turn-lights-off",
    schedule_type="solar",
    solar_event="sunrise",
    location={"latitude": 40.7128, "longitude": -74.0060},
    payload={"device_id": "lights-001", "action": "off"}
)

Impact: Automatic lighting, energy savings, convenience

Irrigation System Automation

The Problem

Plants need watering at optimal times (sunrise/sunset), adjusting for seasons.

The Solution

Schedule irrigation based on solar events: - Sunrise: Water plants (optimal absorption) - Sunset: Check soil moisture

Implementation

# Schedule sunrise irrigation
schedule_webhook(
    url="https://api.smarthome.com/irrigate",
    schedule_type="solar",
    solar_event="sunrise",
    location={"latitude": 34.0522, "longitude": -118.2437},  # Los Angeles
    payload={"zone": "garden", "duration": 300}  # 5 minutes
)

Impact: Optimal plant health, water conservation

Environmental Sensor Data Collection

The Problem

Environmental sensors need to collect data at stable times (sunrise/sunset).

The Solution

Schedule data collection based on solar events: - Sunrise: Collect morning data - Sunset: Collect evening data

Impact: Consistent data collection, better analysis

Security Camera Mode Switching

The Problem

Security cameras should switch modes at dusk/dawn.

The Solution

Schedule mode switching based on solar events: - Sunset: Switch to night vision - Sunrise: Switch to day mode

Impact: Optimal security coverage, automatic mode switching
