I built an open-source service that turns a backyard weather station plus forecast data into OpenSprinkler runtimes, computed with FAO-56 Penman-Monteith ET, per-zone soil water buckets (species and soil-texture aware), and a transparent skip ladder (rain, wind, freeze, soil moisture probes, local restrictions). It talks to OpenSprinkler directly over HTTP on your LAN: scans stations during setup, schedules a sunrise-anchored morning run, and shows the complete math behind every zone’s duration so you can audit and tune it.
One Docker container, no cloud. Live demo: https://demo.localsky.io / OpenSprinkler docs: https://localsky.io/docs/controllers / Source: https://github.com/silenthooligan/localsky
Beta and OpenSprinkler users are exactly who I want feedback from.
Welcome to the OpenSprinkler forum. I just took a quick look at your links. Fantastic work! I am very impressed. I will give is a proper try asap. Again, thank you for sharing your work.
Thank you, Ray, that means a lot coming from you.
OpenSprinkler is what made this possible. I wanted irrigation I actually owned instead of something locked to a cloud, and your open hardware and local API let me build the weather brain and dashboard I always wished sat in front of it. If you end up giving it a try, I would love to hear any feedback to improve the engine/integration with OpenSprinkler or any other quirk or recommendation(s) you would have.
Thanks for the warm welcome.
