How To: Push notifications for OpenSprinkler

[Pat]

The github link in the first post has very detailed instructions. https://github.com/drsprite/OpenSprinkler-Push-Notifications

Further, OpenSprinkler has something built in, too. https://openthings.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000716372-creating-an-ifttt-key-and-applet

I can’t speak to the level of detail that the built in function has compared to the script we’ve been running for the last couple of years.

For those interested in pushing notifications to Telegram via IFTTT, this is an outline of how I do it:

1. First you need to create a telegram bot. You can find many detailed guides on how to do this by searching.
2. Find either your telegram ID # or add your bot to a group and find the group ID. Again you can find out how to get those numbers by searching.
3. Create a IFTTT Webhooks applet and choose receive web request with event name “sprinkler”
4. In the url field put “https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR BOT KEY HERE>/sendMessage”
5. Choose method “POST”
6. Choose content type “application/json”
7. The Body should look something like this:

{ “chat_id”: “<YOUR TELEGRAM USER # or GROUP ID #>”, “text”: “<Whatever Text or emojis you want here> {{Value1}}” , “disable_notification”: “true”}

The disable notification part can be removed if you want to have audible notifications, personally I don’t want to be beeped at about sprinklers..

Also you need to enable IFTTT integration in Open Sprinkler.

Hi Pat,

Thanks for your hard work on this, it works great! I’m currently using your python script with pushover. I’m wondering if you could add an option to be notified when a rain delay is activated or deactivated. I don’t use a rain sensor, I use the weather adjustment method, so I don’t get notifications when it rains. Thank you.

The code needs to be updated for Firmware 2.1.9, since the JSON codes for the rain sensor have changed.

If you edit the ospi_push_notifications.py file, change the following lines:
Line 220:
–Old: if ( enabled[“urs”] == 1):
–New: if ( enabled[“sn1t”] > 0):

Line 236:
–Old: rainSensor = data[“rs”]
–New: rainSensor = data[“sn1”]

Tha fixes the error.
