I agree.
I plan to put my stuff up at some point in the not too distant future, not because I think it is better than anything else but just because I would like to try to help someone in return for all the help I’ve had in the past here.
I’ll start a new thread when I do.
My code is setup to be used as a package. Check the docs for more info on how to use packages
great. i will check that. haven’t worked with packages yet.
btw: i’m using a nodemcu (tasmota firmware) together with a 4 relay board (all from aliexpress). i reuse the 24c ac/ac converter connected to a bridge rectifier and a dc/dc step down converter to power the nodemcu and the relais. works perfectly fine and i the most reliable and cheapest setup i could find.
would you mind sharing your github? i search for your userid but couldn’t find anything.
I don’t have anything on Git but my reticulation code is about in this thread. I’ll post an update in a few days which is closer to a final version
ok all, I have now got a much nicer interface and working watering day setup. In terms of what I want the end solution to be, its only missing the rain / weather conditions which I will sort out in the near future. I have to say a big thanks to @petro and @anon43302295 for their work helping me get the watering day side of things working.
again, this is in a package called reticulation.yaml

which should all then give you this interface:
and if you click the watering days section:
and clicking the run times section gives:
You can disable a program if you want (without having to turn off all the watering days). The program run will allow you to force the program to run now, or shows when it is currently running plus allows you to stop it. Manual station control is pretty obvious on the right hand side if you want to force a station for sprinkler tester etc.
It is currently set up for 2 programs and 2 stations but the code can be replicated to as many as you want very easily.
I hope you like it!
Like the way you did the grouping
I have mine pretty much ready now too but I was wondering if there is a limit to the length of code posts?
Mine ended up using a ton of inputs and sensors so is quite long but the whole thing is pretty much a portable package irrespective of how many zones you have so might be useful to others. I also have some rainfall and temperature adjustment calculations that someone might be able to improve on.
try to post it, then we’ll now. nothing to loose 
OK here goes…
My package conists of 3 files:
garden_globals.yaml ---- is all the groups, inputs, sensors, switches etc.,
garden_weather_calculations.yaml ---- does just what it says,
garden_irrigation ---- contains the logic.
I’m pretty new to all this so I won’t vouch for how well it has been implemented but it seems to work, albeit without actually having watered anything yet!
The switches are sonoffs that control four valves (or zones) but I have tried to write it in such a way that there is as little code replication as possible which means that if you want a different number of zones then you more or less have to just add more inputs and the logic largely takes care of it. There are a couple of automations that will also need to be replicated but I think (hope) it should be self explanatory
The weather calculations are a bit of an experiment and to be honest with hindsight I think that whole idea might be a bit of overkill and I don’t know if we will ever actually use them! We’re not watering a prize winning garden we just don’t want it to die when we are on holiday!
I’d love feedback especially if you think I could have done something better. Like I said, I am still learning this.
Thanks of course go to those who have helped me on this forum and to the posters in this thread, some of whose ideas I have of course used.
It looks like this:
And yes, there is a limit to post size so I will have to post the three files in separate posts.
great. can’t wait to see all the files of the package.
including packages is so much more convenient than adding all yaml stuff seperately. it also makes it much easier to try things out and keep all in one place.
Sorry for the delay…

value: 'Changing zone...'thanks i’ll try that at the weekend!!
Hello, sorry I tried your configuration that I find it very interesting, unfortunately gives me errors, I created the three yaml files that you have published but gives me the following error “Component not found: garden” in the file configuration.yaml how they should be referred to ex. I have indicated
"garden global: !include garden_globals.yaml
garden weather: !include garden_weather_calculations.yaml
garden irrigation: !include garden_irrigation.yaml "
is correct?
thanks
@gojonny I use packages.
In my configuration.yaml I have
homeassistant:
packages: !include_dir_named packages/
create the folder packages
Put the three files in that folder.
@klogg Really liked your irrigation package for HA.
I implemented it to my setup with 5 zones.
I am getting the below listed error for all 5 sensors.
homeassistant.exceptions.InvalidStateError: Invalid state encountered for entity id: sensor.zone1_time_today. State max length is 255 characters.
This isn’t going to be very helpful but I remember getting that message too when was writing it.
I am pretty sure (but really can’t remember) that it turned out to be a simple syntax error that got through the config check.
Have you looked at the full Home Assistant Log? Sometimes that gives more information
Sorry that I can’t be more helpful. At the bottom of the ‘Info’ page in developers tools see ‘Press the button to load the full Home Assistant log’
See below

Also, do i need any monitored conditions for the weather history to update?
