I can confirm, after updating there is no error in the log, still the behavior of the daily entity is the same.
So the daily updates at 11PM unless you change the default. I am seeing that happen on my installs. The daily can update unnoticed when itâs already 0 and the new value is the same. If you see something else and there is nothing in the logs, can you please try removing the integration, removing it from HACS, removing it from files, rebooting and readding?
Your bucket is way above 0, so until that becomes <0 your daily will keep saying 0. It is updated every day, but since the value is the same, HA says it was not updated. The label in HA is misleading, it should read âlast changedâ.

Nothing in the logs that look suspicious for me. What should I look out for?
See my earlier reply, I donât think anything is wrong
Right. Didnât notice that. I was just watching the âwater budgetâ value which is zero.
I now reset the bucket and weâll see what happens tomorrow.
Hi @jeroenterheerdt - thanks for making this!
I am setting up this integration to water my 4â x 8â garden with drip irrigation. A couple of questions:
- Should I estimate my flow rate based on my entire system or each emitter?
My drip irrigation is 1/2 GPH flow rate from each emitter (12" spacing) - How can I adjust my water flow rate,etc. after I set up an integration (is there a config file somewhere?)?
regarding #1: either way: the component does number_of_sprinklers * flow=total throughput
. so if you know the total throughput and not the avg flow per spinkler, you can just set number_of_sprinklers
to 1 and enter the total throughput
.
regarding #2: you can change the settings in your files that are available in .storage folder. do it on your own risk though.
a long time ago i integrated your integration and simply wanted to feedback that this often surprises me positively. so yesterday i feel like i have to water my garden, but the integration said no, i still had that urgent feeling of having to bring water to the plants. after doing my watering stuff while the integration said i shouldnât there came the rain.
this short recap shouldpoint that i decided to trust your integration more than my gut feeling:D
I am not sure if youâre giving the integration too much credit: it does not predict anything - it just looks at weather patterns from the last day and responds accordinglyâŚ
Dont say this it could hurt her feelings thanks for your really fun integrationâ:hugs:
Hey jeroenterheerdt - thanks!
I am setting up two different irrigation zones - how to i set these to run at different time?
It looks like the automation example on your github runs the irrigation at 6am⌠but I donât see any options for this.
add the integration twice and then you can create the separate automations as you wish.
super, thanks!
how do I adjust the time the automation runs?
you can either leverage the event it throws (which is fired automatically at sunrise) or use your own trigger:

Hello.
First of all - great integration, many thanks, for the constant development too.
But I want to clarify one thing - what data from OpenWeatherMap integration uses? As far as I know there are forecast precipitation of snow or rain fall (sensor.openweathermap_forecast_precipitation, in array there are next days too) and a actual rainfall at the moment (sensor.openweathermap_rain) that could be used as a cumulative daily sensor. In my case the forecast precipitation is often higher that actual rainfall.
thanks! for OWM it uses the actual rain, not the forecast.
Thanks for clarification. I was wondering 'cause the integration shows rain and precipitation just like my OWM forecast not actual OWM rain sensor:
hmm, interesting - now I get what you mean - yes, we use the OWM Forecast. Hence the advice to use actual sensors. You could leverage the OWM actual rain sensor if you want, but even better would be to get / leverage a weatherstation
Then if I use a cumulative sensor (that reset at midnight) from OWM actual rain data will be ok?
Thereâs no need to use rain forecast? What if there is a forecast of heavy rain at the day when I want to start irrigation? If rain forecast somehow affect bucket or if I must add this condition to my automations?
