Precipitation last 2 days + 1 day expected

Configuration
1

For my garden irrigation I use the total precipitation from the last two days plus the expected on this day. If the total is below X and the temperature is above Y I allow my main valve to the sprinklers to be open (there are manual shedulers for the different zones so I just control the main valve to the garden).

Does anyone now how to automate this? I have looked at the different weather plugin’s but they have only limited precipitation data. Often just one day. Maybe I can store it in a variable for three days and then use that but I have no idea how to do that.

Any suggestions are welcome.

Nope! Never got this working the way I wanted. I now get this info from my Vera Hub ithat is still up and running into HASS. If you have a similar setup happy to share.

Yeah… after thinking up a bunch of ways to determine dryness, recent rainfall, etc. I decided I’ll just try try to use a Xiaomi Mi plant sensor!

How did this work for you? I believe they are Bluetooth?

Well I haven’t done it yet, ordering one today for testing. But I’ve seen some others configs using many of them and there are some custom components for them as well. They seem pretty well supported.

But yes they are bluetooth with a replaceable battery.
