That’s a great idea! I could write my own script that accesses my soil moisture sensor and calculates a % watering level. I use an OSBo so I could then host the script on it. I can create a program that uses a weather adjustment and set the weather adjustment method to manual. My script will provide the % watering level.

Two questions:
1. I believe the OS firmware polls WU at some interval. How can I poll my custom script instead of WU?
2. If I have multiple soil moisture sensors, how can I differentiate between them? For example, I might have a program and a soil moisture sensor for the potted plants on my deck and also have a program and sensor for my vegetable garden in the ground. The pots will require more frequent watering than my vegetable garden.

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!
