My Garden Irrigation

Got it…Still in testing phase currently so no production yet Had version 1 modified for ESPhome and a Master Pump (irrigation pump) and still looking for how to modify version 2 for these so no rush

Athan · July 31, 2020, 2:28pm

I do have 2 master pumps (1 master and the second master is for getting water from 2 different water sources) and everything are controlled with relay boards with ESPHome and Tasmota. You will have no problem with ver.2. @klogg have make an awesome work

Mship · July 31, 2020, 2:34pm

Would be great if you could share some code. I modified version 1 pretty extensively (prob more than I needed due to lack of understanding) in order to make it work.

Mship · July 31, 2020, 2:37pm

To be more specific: Currently I see a “master” and the zone1,2,etc. This “master” looks like a zone and it ends when the timer for that ends.

I had Version 1 with a master pump that stayed on as long as there were zones running or the cycle ended etc

Athan · July 31, 2020, 2:58pm

I make a group for each zone and place the switches that i wanted inside the group. And at “Switch Name” in the zone, i have put the corresponding group name. Example Zone1 Switch Name: group.athan_irrigation_zone_1

group:
##### ZONE 1 #####
  athan_irrigation_zone_1:
    name: Athan Irrigation Zone 1
    entities:
      - switch.irrigation_master_valve
      - switch.irrigation_athan_master_valve
      - switch.watering_8_2

##### ZONE 2 #####
  athan_irrigation_zone_2:
    name: Athan Irrigation Zone 2
    entities:
      - switch.irrigation_master_valve
      - switch.irrigation_athan_master_valve
      - switch.watering_8_3

So i’m actually open and close 3 switches for each zone

Great idea! Thanks

I am seeing differences in files from Klogg’s version (left) compared to Athan’s (right). Intentional? I am having some issues when changing zones as it just sits at “changing zone” and does not change and not sure if its on my end or the file differences. If I add the files (highlighted) I get errors when checking configuration:

(Package garden_irrigation_start setup failed. Component script has duplicate key ‘description’)

hi
has anyone problem with pop-up? the package seems to work but i’m not able to change any setting after upgrade.

klogg · July 31, 2020, 10:27pm

I can’t remember the exact numbers but you need HA v113.2 and the latest browser_mod and card-mod

bacu63 · August 1, 2020, 1:42pm

Unistall and install again them all.

@klogg - Quick Question, I cant find anything regarding this in the documentation. The switch to disable the schedules if it is raining - Is that linked to a specific sensor (configurable?) or does it use the weather sensors of mm rain from the weather stations?

Thank you!

PS: Anything on the radar to merge the 16ch code in the master?

Hello everybody,

I finally managed to get rainbird’s two wifi controllers up and running.

I did the irrigation following the instructions from @itajackass

I get the following error message.
Did I miss something?
Do I have to change anything?
Probably!!

Thank you.

ekkesa · August 2, 2020, 9:17am

Did you load all the prerequisites? Seems like Button Card is missing or not loaded properly.

klogg · August 2, 2020, 10:05am

Yes, it isn’t well documented but it is it’s own sensor.

I’m not sure if anything is needed? (Apart from the hard coded bits I mentioned that I still haven’t changed to use a template - thanks for the reminder about that! )

Kabala · August 2, 2020, 11:45am

hello ekkesa

button card works perfectly…

for example my config

Athan · August 3, 2020, 3:32am

Hi @Mship. I did had same issue and a couple mores with HA >112. I had to downgrade HA in order to stabilize the system again. I’m on vacation now and i don’t have the ability to check the latest changes Klogg has made. So i suggest either downgrade HA to a 112.x version and use my 16zone branch, or use Klogg latest changes from his repository, i read that they are working.
I will check these changes later this week, when i will be in a situation that i can test the system.

EDIT : I just update my 16 Zones Branch to the latest changes from Klogg’s Repository. I just can’t confirm if everything is working either to 112 or 113 version, since i’m away. If anyone want to try and confirm, it would be great.

ekkesa · August 4, 2020, 12:01am

@klogg - I see you updated the file garden_ui_initialise.yaml with repeat_until instead of the hardcoded 8.

While updating I think I picked up a typo on line 54.

{{ is_state(‘input_text.notifications_’ ~ useer ~ ‘_name’, ‘unknown’) }}

Thanks again for this awesome package!

PS: Just ordered 3 more Sonoff 4ch Pro R2s for the other lines of irrigation…

Kabala · August 4, 2020, 4:41am

Hello everybody,

can nobody really help me?

klogg · August 4, 2020, 8:35am

Ooops…
Fixed.
Thanks.

It’s hard to troubleshoot with so little information.
You can select and copy all the text in one of the red boxes. All the text is there it is just not displayed.

Copy and paste one of the errors here and it might help to give some suggestions.

Also, from the ordering of the code it looks like you are not using yaml mode. This may well not be a problem but I do use yaml mode so I cannot confirm either way.

Perhaps someone here can tell us if this all works using the Lovelace UI editor?
