HI @bremby Thank! I havent installed yet, i have to make a modification at pump shelter. I tested on my kitchen table 
everything was working but I dont remeber if I tested that specific function.
regards
@bremby hi again! if you define initial, every time you reboot HA it will set to that value. will lost you days or times settings.
Bye
@bremby guess what?? itĀ“s me again 
delete initial from code
From my config.yaml
input_number:
irrigation_zone1_duration:
name: DuraciĆ³n Zona 1
min: 0
max: 30
step: 1
mode: slider
icon: mdi:timer
Tell me if that works
Regards
Hi,
thanks for noticing this. Maybe because i am spanish speaker and in spanish today = āhoyā, just 3 letters so i didnāt have that problem when i modified irrigation.h
regards,
Hi,
I managed to make everything working and cover 6 zones
this is the configuration page
I also added 2 additional switches
one to stop all the schedules when they are running
- platform: template
name: Stop All Zones
id: irrigation_stop_zones
icon: mdi:sprinkler-variant
optimistic: true
turn_on_action:
- switch.turn_off: irrigation_channel_1
- switch.turn_off: irrigation_channel_2
- switch.turn_off: irrigation_channel_3
- switch.turn_off: irrigation_channel_4
- switch.turn_off: irrigation_channel_5
- switch.turn_off: irrigation_channel_6
- delay: 10s
- switch.turn_off: irrigation_stop_zones
one to āsuspendā the schedule (eg. you want to suspend the irrigation for a period of time, but you donāt want to clean the configurations or turn off the esp)
- platform: template
name: Irrigation Zone 1
id: irrigation_zone_1
icon: mdi:sprinkler-variant
lambda: return id(irrigation_channel_1).state;
optimistic: true
turn_on_action:
# Turn on if not disabled and not running
if:
condition:
and:
- lambda: return id(irrigation_zone_1_duration) > 0;
- binary_sensor.is_off: ui_stop_irrigation_automation
then:
- switch.turn_on: irrigation_channel_1
turn_off_action:
- switch.turn_off: irrigation_channel_1
let me know what you think or if you have made additional configurations or have any suggestions
regards

Hi! great Jobā¦i thinking about different season config, you dont need the same amount of water in autumn and winter, as in spring and summer.

Hey all, thinking about giving this project a try. I notice the device used for switching is a Sonoff 4 Channel Pro R2. I donāt seem to be able to find one and the link in the blog article says it is out of stock.
Does anyone know if a Sonoff 4 Channel Pro R3 would work or is this something different again?
Also would this be suitable as a power supply?
Hi @currest2620,
I used an ESP32 module with an 8ch relay module:
The trick is adjusting the PINOUT definition with your board
Nice, though I would prefer to use a sonof four channel as the relays are built in.
Thank you for letting me know about the outdated Sonoff link (I am updating the link on my post). The R3 looks to be a direct replacement for the R2, so it should work the same.
Awesome. Iāll get one ordered. Thanks for the feedback.
Hello,
So I have everything configured but Iām running into an issue.
I have it scheduled for Saturday @05:53 and Monday @11:00. The next watering for zone 1 should say Monday @11:00 since the watering for Saturday has already ran but itās showing Saturday @11:00.
Not sure why itās not following the schedule.
Hi! @stinger thatās because the schedule is for every day, you canāt choose the time for each daysā¦ So, if you choose Saturday and Monday, and then you set it to run at 5 am and 11am, it will run those two days at those two hours 
Thanks for the info. Iāll see what I can do to modify it to fit my needs.
Hey guys, I have received the Sonof 4ch pro R3 and have flashed it with ESP Home. So now I would like to try out the ESP home code.
The first, most basic question I have is ā¦ what do I do with then irrigation.h file? Do I copy that to any specific location?
I am also unsure about these includes in the irrigation.yaml file:
<<: !include common/substitutions/gpio/sonoff4chpror2.yaml
<<: !include common/esphome/leds/status_with_api.yaml
Where do I obtain these files and where do they go?
Hold the phoneā¦ think Iāve worked it out. Pretty basic really.
OK, got this setup on the SONOF 4CH Pro. Seems to be working OK. Iāll run some tests to check.
Todo, is to have the system run on certain days, say every second day (to comply with local water restrictions) and to have the duration minutes displayed on the card, (I only see the slider).
Awesome work. Thanks for the instructions and documentation.

@VikingBlod @joaquin68 I really need help here.
I re-installed HA and the ESP and now Iām stuck with the never-ending loop
can you help me with the steps to successfully load the code and stop the reboot very 60 seconds?
Regards
@joaquin68 , yep. last month i started from your code and i added 6 zones. but now after the re-install (i reloaded the config from the backup) probably i missed something and the esp reboots every 60sec. I think that this happen when it try to get the time from home assistant. i really donāt remember what step i did last time to fix it
here the config.xml

Check to make sure all you input fields are properly defined. Might even want to add some values. I remember before I added those it would loop.
