HA Irrigation Automation

[Bashir_Jahed]

Hi There smart people,

I am trying to get my first Automation up and running, any pointers or starter automations would be appreciated.

My set up is as follows:

HA running on dedicated server
Irrigation Solenoids connected to a Sonoff 4CH Pro R2
Wellpoint pump connected to a pressure sensing valve

I am able to manually trigger the solenoids using the HA interface and the Sonoff is set up in Interlocking mode so it successfully closed zone 1 if zone 2 is triggered etc. I have 4 zones in total.

My goal is to have an automation that runs at sunrise every Monday, Wednesday and Friday and each zone should run for a period of 15 minutes.

I will figure out the weather based bits once i have the base automation in place.

Thanks in advance

Quite a bit of info here:

MQTT based sprinkler control

Hello everyone! I just created my first project for my Home Assistant instance. This is a sprinkler controller system based on a NodeMCU board that allows for virtually limitless amount of control zones. Check out my GitHub repo and let me know what you guys think.

I have since updated my code with some nice improvements but here is my older code:

Garden Irrigation

Just a little update on my config because @Mikkaat was asking. There is some code commented out because I’m still not 100% happy that it’s complete, but it all works well. Here you go mate:- ESPhome code on NodeMCU: esphome: name: ha_retic_controller_1 platform: ESP8266 board: nodemcuv2 wifi: ssid: !secret wifi_ssid password: !secret wifi_password manual_ip: static_ip: 192.168.0.61 gateway: 192.168.0.1 subnet: 255.255.255.0 api: logger: web_server: port: 80 ota…

I’m using an ESP8266 with relays which your Sonoff 4 channel would be extremely similar to in terms of using the rest of my code to control it.

I’m only using 2 solenoids but the code is written to allow easy addition of as many as you want, so just copy the relevant sections to create the extra 2 stations
