Trying now and will report back

Thought about it but limited time, wrote it for my self and found time to document it then life caught up.

I know the feeling.
Looks like it is working now.
By the way How doe the binary sensor for rain work?
Great news, thanks for your help.
I have a rain sensor that connects to a commercial irrigation controller hooked up to my ESP. I got a circuit board printed and build my own controller that runs off 24v ac. I need to build one more iteration of that.
But you can use a template sensor to use any combination of other inputs to determine to water or not. Played with using the weather to act as a sensor.

Is the program suppose to trigger automatically if the day and time match? I can seem to get the program to trigger
Try resetting the last ran attribute using the developer tools on creation it sets it self to today

Still not starting
I have tried with the ignore rain sensor toggle on and off

comment out run_days, rain_sensor and ignore_rain_sensor. It should then start at the start_time specified.
Still no joy.
FYI, the ewe link is a binary in my setup, and I had been testing with it in the open state, and the ignore rain sensor on. It I understand the logic, this should mean the program will run?
with ignore rain sensor ‘on’, the rain sensor will not impact the running even if the rain sensor is ‘on’. I will add some logging into the program over the next couple of days and let you know when I have a new version.
Does the program start manually if you turn the ‘program’ switch on?
Thanks, yes the program runs, but not by the time. I guess I could use an automation, but that seems counter intuitive
absolutely, let me add the logging so I can see what the template is internally and how it evaluates.
I’ve loaded a new irrigationprogram switch.py. if you copy it and restart HA you will get the template that is built internally. You can evaluate it in the developer tools template tab if you copy the ‘{{ text… }}’ that is in the logs
Sorry Terence I forgot to commit the change
one more small variation between your config and mine is I don’t have any unique_id values set in my yaml.
Hi Terrence, I have updated the irrigation program switch.py to perform additional validation. It will also output an error to the log with the template that is used to evaluate when to run the program. You can check this in the developer tools to see if anything is stopping it from evaluating to true with your configuration
Peter
still not running, I seem to get the template randomly in the logs
{{ states('sensor.time') + ':00' == states('input_datetime.irrigation_morning_start_time') and is_state('input_boolean.irrigation_on', 'on') and now().strftime('%a') in states('input_select.irrigation_run_days') }}
That’s good, this is the template evaluated to start the program.
Can you:
- remove the optional settings run_days, rain_sensor, and ignore_rain_sensor from the yaml and restart HA
- copy the template that results into your developer tools/template and evaluate it there, changing the start time in the input_datetime
- if that works can you add in the irrigation_run_days and validate it again.
