My Garden Irrigation

Sorry for the delay and for being so brief here (I’m not being rude, just short of time) but try changing all the plus signs (+) to tildes (~)

- condition: template
        value_template: >
            {% if is_state('input_boolean.cycle' ~ cycle ~ '_use_weather_adjustment', 'on') %}
              {% set n = states('input_number.adjusted_cycle' ~ cycle ~ '_zone' ~ zone ~ '_duration')  | int %}
            {% else %}
              {% set n = states('input_number.cycle' ~ cycle ~ '_zone' ~ zone ~ '_duration')  | int %}
            {% endif %}
            {{ n != 0 }}

Hi klogg.
No problem, I know you are busy.
I already tried that when I saw that post, but it didn’t work

Anyway, I’ll try again, just to be sure I didn’t do a mistake last time…

xalex75 · April 15, 2021, 2:04pm

It looks like nothing changed:

xalex75 · April 15, 2021, 2:29pm

Wait!!!
I tried to change “+” to “~” in few more places and something moved!!!
So I did it in all files (obviously only in concatenations) and it worked!!!
I just have a little problrm with cycle name missing in telegram notification, but I’ll look into it, that should be easy.

Thank you klogg, without your reply I wouldn’t have tried again this replacement.

Hello Klogg. I still haven’t found a solution to make the programmed cycles work, it just skips to next schedule cycle. Nothing in the logs, is there some trigger i can test?

shakin89 · April 18, 2021, 2:20pm

Ok, a little bit clearer.
You have 6 shellies with tasmota for your valves.
How do you control your pump?
e.g. i have a hager esn224 to activate my pump. basically it’s a relay dpdt with a 24vac coil, when it feels current on the coil, activate the 220vac for the pump.
i have attached a 24vac transformer to one relay, when one valves start, i activate the pump(transformer) relay that activates the pump.

Robertofz1981 · April 18, 2021, 2:36pm

Hello, i have 2 sonoff 4ch pro r3 with tasmota to control the valves, and want to use a shelly 1pm to control the pump, and to now the consumer of the pump.

shakin89 · April 18, 2021, 2:48pm

ok, you have to work a little bit in ha config, you have to group every valve switch with the pump relay.
Have a look at groups or even better template switch

I am about to merge a pull request from @davewatson91 which brings together all the changes made/suggested several months ago by @Athan (and possibly others?) to allow up to 16 zones.

It is literally just to allow additional zones, it doesn’t add or change any logic so it should have no effect on the way the package currently works.

Please report back here or open a GitHub issue if you experience any problems and likewise feel free to confirm you are using it with no issues.

Thanks again to @davewatson91 and @Athan and apologies if I forgot anyone else who had an input.

Athan · April 19, 2021, 11:19am

Great news @klogg and again an excellent work !

sdesalve · April 19, 2021, 5:33pm

Hi @klogg is there a way to use Weatherbit.io and this custom-component for weather sensors and forecast?
Unfortunately there I don’t own a Tempest station and the nearest station is 400km away from my house…

Pedro_Abreu · April 20, 2021, 8:52am

Hello. I just found why in my case it was skipping schedules, it was the “Ignore schedules if it is raining” that was on, just turn it to off and the schedules work. I haven’t configure the rain sensor and even with the “Adjust for rainfall” set to off it didn’t start. To prevent this maybe the “Ignore schedules if it is raining” should only work with real value (raining true or false) and if it is not configured the status should be unknown and skip this.
Regards

DkAutomater · April 22, 2021, 4:47pm

Can you provide me with the automation part and lovelace config*?

krash · April 22, 2021, 8:40pm

I have moved on from this code to something simpler I wrote myself.

I’ll check it but I don’t think I can help you out unfortunately

tika911 · April 28, 2021, 5:42pm

This look great and is exactly what I want to do. Can you share you Esphome code? I am also look at adding a nextron lcd screen so I can control it at the box.

klogg · April 28, 2021, 8:45pm

EDIT: Sorry, this request wasn’t aimed at me but I’ll leave it here in case it is useful!

By all means…

Thanks! I am planning on using your github irrigation project once I get the hardware working.
This will save me a lot of time. What IO expander are you using? I have the 8574 io expander but it is not being detected. I have tried addresses 0x21 and 0x20 with no luck.

toddel · April 29, 2021, 12:29pm

Hi there…

i have 8 Zones and 1 Main Relay. How can i add this Main relay to open before zone 1 starts and close after the last zone?

Thanks in advance

Edit: Solved:
garden_irrigation_triggered_cycle_start.yaml:
#=== Run all the zones in turn
- service: switch.turn_on
target:
entity_id: switch.yourswitch
…
…
#=== CYCLE END PROCESSING
- service: switch.turn_off
target:
entity_id: switch.yourswitch

Also:
Is it possible to add a language page where all the Labels can be defined? To change them to german
