I’m looking for a recommendation for an irrigation system running on an esphome device.
I guess I’m after a project someone has already done and I can just clone the YAML.
Basic scheduling, general stability and ability to keep working upon network disconnection are the biggest requirements.
Anything else extra like capacity to tie into a digital rain gauge and adjust daily watering would be nice but not at the expense of stability.
I’ve had a look at a bunch of projects but don’t have the ability to know if the code is well written.
Are there any really popular repos?
Thanks
More than happy to field questions about solar, lifepo4, charging algorithms, pumps and solenoid operated irrigation valves as that’s more my jam compared to robust coding.
External components for esphome are ment for use cases where the core component doesn’t exist in esphome or is woefully incapable of using the device properly.
I’m guessing there is no large community project because the esphome sprinkler controller covers most use cases and works well.
Your best bet is to try it yourself and ask questions on how to accomplish your idea using the sprinkler controller component in esphome first.
