If you look it up and think about it, then it’s clear. Still being able to know it in a glance is always better. And it’s not clear (to me) if it’s rain for TODAY or last 24h hours.
I attached 2 screenshots with the super long numbers, don’t know if it helps, but you got the units that are weird.
I appreciate your work and taking time to answer our questions and improve the code. Giving feedback is the least I can do 
Sure. But if I do it that way it will still show the “old” values in lovelace and you have to look into automations to know what the real irrigation time etc will be (multiplied by some number). This is a workaround, but I think the more complex and versatile the code becomes, the more you need a way to adjust/adopt numbers you entered during setup. Deleting integrations and readding them, having to type in the very same data (ev values etc) add another source of error.
Just my 2c.
by the way, you can always ‘hack’ to update your settings, just go into the hidden .storage folder and update the settings in one of the files there. Don’t come complain to me if you break stuff though.
If not me someone else surely will 
Thanks for the info. That makes tuning much more easy.
@jeroenterheerdt I’ve installed your integration twice, first using weather API info and secondly using a combination of weather API info and info from a set of Netatmo weather integration sensors.
When I call the bucket_reset service it seems only to reset the second of these integrations, is this the correct operation i.e. should I be able to call it for each of the 2 integration installations?
yes, the services are per instance.
Hi,
Thanks for this great integration! I’ve installed everything yesterday and seems to work. I was wondering how I can update the sensor.smart_irrigation_base_schedule_index automatically? I’ve entered all values once, but I’ve no clue how to update these at this moment.
Thanks!
I now installed my own rain gauge, and want to compare values to the once from the add-on provided by openweathermap.org.
As I can’t find the information:
RAIN etc is expected rain for the NEXT 24h? Correct?
It shows a value of 15.4mm for my location, and this is the data from openweathermap:
If I sum up the first values it’s 15.2mm so almost the same.
Can you please confirm this, and maybe add that to the sensor?
Like: Rain [next 24h] … 15.4mm
Thanks
Hi @migielz0r welcome to the community! You cannot change those values after you added them. This is a current limitation of the way configuration is done in HA and not related to this component. unless you feel brave and go edit files in config/.storage there is no way around it.
@iz3man the precipitation sensor is cumulative during the day, so not the next 24 hours and no prediction. Just whatever happens during the day, the actual rainfall, is accumulated in this sensor. See the readme, it is explained pretty thoroughly there.
Also, now I am not a fan of adding it in the UI, but where do you think it should be more clear?
But why does the README then say “rain: the PREDICTED rainfall in mm or inch” ??? (also to be seen in the picture I posted). I’m no native English speaker, but to me “predicted” means “something you guess for the future”, or “the rain you expect”, correct? And the number correlates with the sum of rain (the grey bars in the picture form openweathermap) for the day.
But maybe we just talk about different things. I’m talking about the RAIN sensor here:
BTW: “rain” and “recipitation” always show the exact same value here (whereas “snow” of course always is 0, now, during summer time).
because you are looking at the wrong place. You are looking at the section about which attributes the component outputs and not about what you need to provide. the section for what you need to provide is here: https://github.com/jeroenterheerdt/HAsmartirrigation#getting-the-best-results and https://github.com/jeroenterheerdt/HAsmartirrigation/wiki/Measurements-and-Units.
quote: "When in mode 2) (Full Sensors), 3) (Mixed) or 4) (Not calculating) the following measurements and units are expected. Keep in mind that the component will expect units to match your Home Assistant configuration (imperial vs metric system).
Precipitation (rain/snow) in mm or inch. When using a sensor, note that this needs to be a cumulative daily sensor."
I will change the readme to change the text a little where you found it so it is less confusing, but in general you were looking in the wrong place 
I guess we still talk about different things, and I guess I did look into the correct place, but didn’t explain what I’m looking for.
I do NOT want to replace the rain input sensor (from openweathermap to local rain gauge) at the moment. I wanted to see if openweathermap gives reliable/compareable values to my personal sensor.
BTW: Thanks for correcting the super long values to 2 decimals! 
PS: mm/hr -> mm/h in case you want to use correct SI units 
Well, maybe because it rains ALL the time in southern UK? 
That is weird, I guess the world weather atlas is not truly global. That or the UK did not want to play. Maybe try to find a UK source for the same info? Happy to add it to the docs if you find it. Sorry.
jeroenterheerdt, I just wanted to say thanks for putting this together. I think it is a great idea. I’ve done some simple systems previously to compensate things for weather. My sprinklers don’t run if it rains and my pool chlorinator runs longer. I have a 5 zone system that cycles each time the irrigation pump turns off. I didn’t have a good measurement, so I just tweaked the configuration to get a baseline run time for what I know works from experience. Now it compensates based on your algorithm. Sure I could optimize it more, but it was previously a mechanical timer. I think this is great.
thanks for checking in, appreciate it! Always good to hear people enjoy my work
after a while of using this component i wanted to thank you a lot for coding it! it really is a pleasure to me, to watch this component deciding if i have to irrigate my garden or not
as a point of constructiv feedback i wanted to add, that i would be awesome if there were an easy option to change the water through, count of sprinklers and area to irrigate values after setting it up.
but this shouldnt be a critic its only for convience thanks for your hard work and this really neat component!
