That would be great, if you can add this to the wishlist for the next firmware release 🙂

Is there any other possible way to read out the flow_count value?

Thanks

[Stefan83]

Ok, so I get this right 🙂
Is it possible to get an accumulative value?

[Stefan83]

Hi Ray,

when using the HTTP-API:
In which parameter, I’ll find the “flow sensor data” ?
My “flow sensor” (rain gauge) is connected to sn1.

In the API-documentation I’ve found
"flcrt": real-time flow count (i.e. number of flow sensor clicks during the last flwrt seconds).

If I understand that correctly, this value will raises during sensor clicks, but will go to 0, when the sensor is finished with clicks (after 30 seconds time frame)
Is this correct?

Thanks,
Stefan

I see..
then maybe the extension of the setting can be provided in the next firmware release, if possible. is there a wishlist in place?

thanks again

[Stefan83]

Perfect, I’ll go with scripting using the HTTP API.
Are there any known side effects, when rebooting every 24 hours?

Hi Ray,

I’m using a simple rain sensor is composed of a rain detection plate with extra mechanism:
https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/MisterBotBreak/how-to-use-a-rain-sensor-bcecd9
Therefore it would be great, when the value could be set to more than 240.

Thanks

[Stefan83]

Correct. I want to reset its value to zero, every night at 12am.

Hi Ray,

regarding “ Would it be possible to reset the value of sn1 manually? (e.g. everyday at 12am)”: is this possible? or should I reboot opensprinkler every day to reset the value?
if so, is there a recommendation for that?

thanks,
stefan

regarding the polling: yes, with this rain sensorrain sensor, I want an immediate alarm when it starts to rain. e.g. to close some windows automatically. That’s why the short term polling. Sorry for mixing it up in this thread.
(this sensor will be sn2)

Regarding the second sensor (rain gauge), i would also say: 5 minutes is sufficient.
(this sensor will be sn1)

Would it be possible to reset the value of sn1 manually? (e.g. everyday at 12am)
When tracking the amount of rain water with the rain gauge, it would be easier to display that in graphs.

Thanks again for your great support – I really appreciate that 🙂

[Stefan83]

That’s it – thanks again.
One question about the polling: Is it ok, when my homebridge-service is polling every 15 seconds the status via http://192.168.178.98/jc?pw=XXX ?

Another question about the flow sensor: The sn1 will show the value of pulses*”Flow Pulse Rate” (which I can configure in OpenSprinkler-Options), correct?
This value is permanently increasing?
And with the value be resetted, e.g. when restarting OpenSprinkler?

Thanks,
Stefan

[Stefan83]

Yes, this function with flow sensor is good for me. I just want to read the data and track the „Rain history“ 🙂

One question about the reading out (maybe more a HTTP-question): when using http://192.168.178.98/jc?pw=XXX it throws out many data.
How can a get sn1 only as return?

[Stefan83]

Thanks Ray, that sounds great, I‘ll try that.
After that, I want to connect a second sensor, a rain gauge: https://pi.gate.ac.uk/posts/2014/01/25/raingauge/
This shouldn’t be a problem, when I use sn2
Correct?
