We’ve had very little rain here. I live in the rain shadow of a mountain. Just enough to keep the moisture level around 25% to 30%. I notice that the Lux sensor has stopped working. No big deal as I wasn’t using it. Also the temperature readings are all over the place due to the sensor being in it’s own little greenhouse.
I’m still not convinced it’s going to be any use.
My AM sprinkler run starts at 8am so I can use the rainfall to 9am sensor without having to store it.
I’ve been watching the ground and anything over 0.5mm in 24 hours seems to soak the top level. My soil is very sandy though so it drains away quickly.

I updated my time remaining sensors so that they only show a value if the sprinkler valve is on:
- platform: template
sensors:
zone_1_time_remaining:
friendly_name: 'Time Remaining'
entity_id:
- input_number.zone_1_time_remaining
- sensor.time
- switch.zone_1
value_template: >
{% if is_state('switch.zone_1', 'on') %}
{{ [ (states('input_number.zone_1_run_time')|int - (as_timestamp(now()) - as_timestamp(states.switch.zone_1.last_changed))/60)|round(0) ,0 ] | max }}
{% else %}
0
{% endif %}
unit_of_measurement: "min"
Otherwise restarts and switching off the zone valve trigger it to start counting down.
Nice. That was one of the adjustments I made as well as restarts were messing with it.

I got some moisture data from a 15 minute sprinkler run this morning:
Need more data before I decide what to do with it.
Definitely and not just point in time either as historical moisture over time is the key. It drops away quite quickly and back to your normal 25%. You’re not joking about it draining quickly.

Does the opto isolated 5vdc relay module run fine if the IO input voltage is 3.3 vdc? Supply voltage 5vdc.
I have few relay modules with transistors and those does not run fine with 3.3 vdc. Have to have other transistor to drive 5vdc to relay from esp 3.3vdc pins.

Figured I’d share my UI now that I finally got it all finished.

That’s awesome, care to share the final product code, would totally love to use what you’ve developed here!
Super cool, very nice. If you’d be willing to share the code I’d love to have a go with it. Just looking to move my irrigation into HA and that panel is amazing.

Of course! I use a bunch of custom components so those would all be needed as well.

You are totally changing the way I think about my future dashboard building here, spent the better part of the weekend familiarizing myself with this and started piecing mine together, thanks a ton for the share. Also, shout out to @tom_l for your share up top, definitely helpful as I build and familiarize with HA more and more.

Did Anyone design a PCB to reduce the wire need and make this clean ?
That looks amazing @TJPoorman ! I’m working on integrating my new ESPHome-based sprinkler node and think your Lovelace front-end is exactly what the doctor ordered!
Any chance you would share your supporting scripts, automations, inputs and sensor templates, etc. for this? I started looking at your SplHAsh YAML on GitHub, and tom_l’s examples above, as references to try and cobble something together in my HA instance. It didn’t take long to convince me that your supporting scripts and components would far exceed anything I could hack together, judging from the quality and detail in your front end.
Great work, and thank you for sharing with the community!

I’ve updated my Github to have my full setup in the examples you could check out.

Hey guys, I wanted to sincerely thank you for your hard work and sharing it all.
I am transforming a “dumb” 8 zone Rain Bird system (6 zones used) into an ESP driven one. I am pretty experienced with Arduino, ESP, MQTT etc, and was finished designing the hardware part. I have plenty of Arduino board laying around, so I connected an ESP8266 to the Arduino via I2c, used the ESP as the “WiFi controller” and the Arduino as the I/O control (instead of the 74HC595), connected to a 8 channel relay.
I got all the switches implemented in HA, and got to a point of “someone in the community must have automated all this”. Looked in addons, HACS, and finally found this page. @tom_l , your automation scripts, sensor templates etc were a massive boost in getting this project done. Those templates aren’t easy to figure out, thank you!
Now…of course I did scratch my head for a couple hours of templating troubleshooting…so my turn to share.
- platform: time_date
display_options:
- 'time'
- 'date'
This sensor need to be added to the config.Without it the “remaining time” doesn’t work and the automation won’t trigger, but no error message will be displayed either.
Anyhow…once again, thank you!!

I’ve actually switched over to an ESP-home based approach rather than the custom code from my repo (Easier to maintain and update while I’m trying to get everything playing nice together). This was the sensor configuration I had for the sprinkler_current_zone:
- platform: mqtt
name: "Sprinkler Current Zone"
state_topic: "yard/sprinkler/status"
availability_topic: "SplHAsh/availability"
qos: 0
payload_available: "online"
payload_not_available: "offline"
Thank you. Are you creating your own project of following someone else’s? Was maintenance the only factor for moving away from this code? Was there reliability issues or anything?
