The short version
This website counts visits so that its author knows whether anyone is reading it. It sets no cookies, asks for nothing and has no way to identify you. The NeverDry integration itself, the thing that waters your garden, sends nothing anywhere: it runs inside your own Home Assistant and has no server to phone home to.
What this website collects
Page visits are counted with Vemetric, a European analytics service. The script that does the counting is served from this site rather than from the vendor's content delivery network, so loading a page does not by itself announce you to anyone else. When it records a visit it sends an event to hub.vemetric.com, and at that moment that service does see the IP address your browser is connecting from.
- No cookies are set. Vemetric only stores cookies when explicitly told to, and it is not told to here. There is nothing to consent to, which is why this site shows you no banner.
- What is recorded: which page was viewed, roughly where in the world the request came from, the kind of browser and device, and which site referred you. Clicks on the install button and on outbound links are counted as events.
- What is not recorded: anything that identifies you personally. There is no account, no login, no profile and no cross-site tracking.
Third parties your browser contacts
A page that loads something from somebody else's server hands that server your IP address, whether or not anything is written down. These are all of them on this site:
| Who | What for | On which pages |
|---|---|---|
hub.vemetric.com | Receives the visit and event counts described above | All |
img.shields.io | Renders the status badges (version, downloads, build) | The landing pages |
raw.githubusercontent.com | Serves the product logo and the screenshot | The landing pages |
my.home-assistant.io | Serves the button that opens NeverDry in your own Home Assistant | The landing pages |
github.com | Hosts this site, and therefore sees the request for every page | All |
Nothing else is loaded from anywhere else: the fonts are the ones already on your device and no video or map is embedded.
What the integration does with your data
This is the part most people are actually asking about. NeverDry is an integration that runs inside your Home Assistant installation. It reads the sensors you point it at, decides when to water, and writes its own state back into Home Assistant. It has no backend, no telemetry and no update channel of its own. Your garden's data stays in your house, and the author has no way of seeing any of it, not even in aggregate.
The one exception worth naming: if you choose to send a diagnostics file when reporting a problem, that file contains your configuration and recent activity, and you are the one who sends it, to a GitHub issue you can read before posting.
Who is responsible, and how to reach them
NeverDry is a free, open-source hobby project maintained by drake69. Questions about this page, or a request to have something clarified or removed, are best raised in the project's GitHub Discussions or as a GitHub issue, both of which are read by the maintainer.
