Currently with OpenSprinkler all you get is that if it happens to rain when you want to water, it blocks it, +3-4 hours. Can’t add extra delay.
It’all the same as the other rain sensors. There is a ring which controls how fast it dries back after the rain, but this is not something really smart.
For example, with the drying ring totally open, it dries out within 3 hours, with the ring closed, it dries within 4 hours. If it’s windy, it dries out faster, also during the day.
Totally unreliable method, compared to what a software could do. You’re nowhere near if you want 24 hours of delay after a rain.
My extra-old Toro GK8-16-04 was able to do that, I really don’t get it how can it be that such an innovative solution like OpenSprinkler is missing a basic feature like this…
Yes it does have, but as i wrote, it dries out too fast. Tried my neighbor’s sensor too, (different type), and also the same.
I think it would be really useful for many of us out there, to have the same (or similar) delay options regardless of the methods used (Zimmerman or local sensor).
All that would need to be done is to just add an option with how many hours of delay would be needed after the rain has beed detected. To cancel it (when the event has happened), one would just have to set this value to zero and that’all.
Is there a way to send PM through this forum? I took the location from the json config, but I’d rather send it privately…
How do you want me to provide it? It shows a map, I put the cursor, click on submit, and that’s the value shown.
“Budapest, XVIII. keruelet, HU”
That’s the only data I see related to location.I know about that, but I read that it has issues due to unreliable weather info. Don’t even see any humidity data for my location.
I’d simply use my sensor to trigger the 24 hours delay.
My previous, 10-years old Toro sprinkler was able to do that…
Look at the second screenshot attached to op.
But it should be something else. I closed the app, re-opened it, it showed in C. Closed/opened again, now it’s back to F. It refreshed again, now it’s C.
It shows values mostly in F, rarely in C.Should’t it show precipitation also? I only see temperatures (both app and browser).
Does this mean that the web resources are only used in case of the browser? Using it from the Android app works completely offline?
