This blueprint is designed for practical day/night operation:

  • Night: exactly one watering at a fixed time
  • Day: repeated watering with interval changes based on weather conditions
  • Adaptive timing: all timing values are derived from one normal watering profile
  • Safety gap: prevents watering too frequently

How weather affects watering interval:

  • High sun states: sunny, clear, clear-night
  • Low sun states: cloudy, fog, hail, lightning, lightning-rainy, pouring, rainy, snowy, snowy-rainy, windy, windy-variant, exceptional
  • Medium sun: all other states (including partlycloudy)

Main inputs:

  • Weather entity
  • Last watering helper (input_datetime)
  • Night watering time
  • Normal watering duration
  • Normal interval
  • Multipliers for low sun, high sun, night duration, and safety gap
  • Start/stop watering actions (for pump control)

Suggested defaults:

  • Normal duration: 300 seconds (5 minutes)
  • Normal interval: 120 minutes
  • Low sun multiplier: 1.5
  • High sun multiplier: 0.4
  • Night duration multiplier: 0.5
  • Safety gap multiplier: 0.17
