After installation, the following event is available:

Event	Description
smart_irrigation_start_irrigation_all_zones	Fired when an irrigation start trigger is reached. Listen to it to start your irrigation. See automations for examples.

When does it fire?

The event fires when a configured start trigger is reached (a solar event — sunrise, sunset or solar azimuth — optionally shifted by an offset). If you configure no triggers, the legacy default applies: it fires early enough before sunrise that watering finishes at sunrise (sunrise - sum(duration of all enabled zones)).

Each enabled trigger fires independently. The precipitation-skip and "days between irrigation" settings still apply: on a skip day no event is fired.

Event data

The event carries the identity of the trigger that fired, so a single automation can react differently per trigger:

field	meaning
trigger_name	the name you gave the trigger
trigger_type	sunrise, sunset or solar_azimuth
offset_minutes	the configured offset, in minutes
account_for_duration	whether timing is shifted so watering finishes at the target moment

Example: filter on trigger_name to react to a specific trigger.

trigger:
  - platform: event
    event_type: smart_irrigation_start_irrigation_all_zones
    event_data:
      trigger_name: "Morning"
