HI Peter
Thank you vary match, the issue resolved.
Thanks
I used the default Rainbird integration in HA, and was not happy with it so I switched over to this irrigation integration. I have followed the instructions to the T and everything seems to be there, communicating and working but⌠When the program starts, it starts with zone 1, 5 seconds later switches off zone 2 the moves to zone 2, and so it continues. Am I missing something?
Hi @vanwykac,
Can you send me a screenshot of the config for one of the zones, also can you check if there are any errors in the log when the program starts.
I donât have a rainbird controller to test with so i will need your help.
Can run a single zone for me from the card and let me know the behaviour.
Thanks
Pete
Hello,
I have installed the latest 5.4.5 (restarted HA) but I donât have the card available.
Any hints on this matter please?
Hi @Diomet ,
I have updated the HACS card install for irrigation component, It appears the method I am using to deploy the card with the program no longer works in the latest release of HA. The repository
is here GitHub - petergridge/Irrigation-Card: Companion card for Irrigation-V5. Please let me know if the resolves you problem.
Cheers
Pete
I receive the error:
Repository âpetergridge/irrigation-cardâ exists in the store.
and it is not, I canât find âirrigation-cardâ
Hello Peter
Thanks for this practical irrigation scheduler
I have succeded to add my 8 zones under a program following the steps provided. see screenshot below
The problem I have is that I cannot trigger the irrigation script that run each active zone , and when the program starts actually nothing happens .
I have a Hunter controller that I was able to command following this MQTT project
Could help me to understand what I need to do to trigger this script so my irrigation it starts based on your scheduler ?
I copied here the services used for ON and OFF
Irrigation On
alias: Irrigation On
mode: single
icon: mdi:water-pump
sequence:
- service: mqtt.publish
data_template:
topic_template: hunter/X-CORE/zone/{{ states('sensor.irrigate_map_zone') }}
payload_template: >
{ "action": "start", "time": {{ states('input_number.irrigate_timer_' ~
states('sensor.irrigate_map_zone')) | int }} }
enabled: true
Irrigation Off
alias: Irrigation Off
mode: single
icon: mdi:water-pump-off
sequence:
- service: mqtt.publish
data_template:
topic_template: hunter/X-CORE/zone/{{ states('input_text.irrigation_active_zone') }}
payload_template: |
{ "action": "stop" }
enabled: true
Each zone needs to be exposed as a switch, and the state of the switch needs to accurately match the physical state i.e. on/off. If there is a significant delay in identifying the state of the switch after it is turned on/off this can cause issues as the component monitors the switches to operate.
You could set up a template switch to call the services, I am not sure about updating the state but worth a try
Hello Peter ,
Any ideea why this messsage pops up ?
This happens - at this step
select Add Integration, start typing âirrigationâ and then select irrigation controller
And now also I have errors that programs are not loading.I deleted the entries in my dashboard , and now I cannot create new ones
Thanks
Hi,
A couple of questions to help me:
- What version of the component are you using?
- what hardware/OS are you using
- when you say deleted from the dashboard was that just the irrigation card or did you delete some sensors etc?
Hi Peter , here my answers - any news ?
- What version of the component are you using?
version used is Irrigation-V5 - what hardware/OS are you using
raspberry pi 5 / Home Assistant - when you say deleted from the dashboard was that just the irrigation card or did you delete some sensors etc?
I have deleted the helpers for Program 1 start time and freq , because I did not use ⌠and I remember that after this it did not work .
And it looks no program inside when I want to add an irrigation Card
Hi
It looks like you have deleted a control that you configured into the system that is preventing it from loading.
I suggest that you delete the current configuration and create a new one.

Hello again Peter ,
Can you help me yo define properly the switch for each zone.
I tried but simply it did not work .
Here the code that works with a zone selector

You will find all the definitions you need in this file Irrigation-V5/testhelpers.yaml at 54f8bb112a5c0a328122e522e19680bdbc30f3d1 ¡ petergridge/Irrigation-V5 ¡ GitHub to create a working sample complete with dummy switches.
You can also look at this tutorial on setting up a basic instance. Irrigation-V5/help/help.md at 54f8bb112a5c0a328122e522e19680bdbc30f3d1 ¡ petergridge/Irrigation-V5 ¡ GitHub
A template switch definition like below should work. I donât know what the script is doing but assume it is working now so should be ok.
switch:
- platform: template
switches:
irrigate_lawn:
friendly_name: "Sprinkler On/Off"
turn_on:
- service: script.turn_on
data:
entity_id: script.irrigation_on
turn_off:
- service: script.turn_on
data:
entity_id: script.irrigation_off

Hello Peter,
I have successfuly installed your nice integration, thank you for the good job. It works exactly as expected.
But I have noticed something strange on the irrigation card, the string âremaining_labelâ is not showing the name selected properly in the card. Here a snapshot.
Is it something I need to investigate on my configuration? A mistake during the configuration or perhaps something you are already aware of?
Thanks for your help
Hi,
The remaining time label is the text that appears once a zone starts running. The zone run time will pick up the name from the object, so if update the name for Zone 1 runtime to French it work as you expect, the same will apply for the start time and any other helpers that you create.
Cheers
Pete
okay, clear.
Thank you Peter
Hello Peter,
I followed your quick howto to set my first program and I donât understand why my runtime is on seconds and not in minutes as expected.
I did a check setting runtime at 13min and in fact the duration of irrigation is 13 seconds.
I did several redo, and this is always the same, any subjections please?
Thanks
