Advanced Functionality
Only Heat when the Forecast Looks Good
Using the home bridge weather plus plugin, we can pull weather forecasts for our location and then setup an automation in Apple HomeKit.
Ottawa Forecast:
https://openweathermap.org/city/6094817
Install the following plugin for homebridge:
https://github.com/naofireblade/homebridge-weather-plus
Configure it in the config.json. This plugin will add the current temperature and the forecast for today and tomorrow.

In Apple HomeKit, setup the automation:
Add an Automation and select "A Sensor Detects Something"
Select your tomorrow's forecast (I renamed mine to Tomorrow's Forecast). Select Rises Above and choose a temperature. Restrict the time of the check. I do the check right before my pool pump is about to start it's nightly heat/filter cycle.
Select the pool-heater and set the desired temperature and select Done.
You are all setup!
