Do you have any links to the Hargreaves papers you refer too?

The MAJOR reasons I bought an OpenSprinkler are the option to use my own WU weather station for input with the Zimmerman Method, the web interface, and the security of NOT having a device depending on the cloud like the Rachio and Blossom controllers.

I assumed the Zimmerman method was based on scientific study of irrigation using past and present weather data. I sure would like to know what Richard Zimmerman based his code on.

Don’t get me wrong, OpenSprinkler is wonderful and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. I just want to know more about the Zimmerman Method.

We are currently away till Monday July 21. Orders placed during this time will be shipped on Tuesday July 22. Thank you for your understanding!
