be carefull with that wiring diagram 2:30, most valves in world need 24 AC , no dc ! - if you use dc , they will die much much faster :) there are dc valves but only for 9V

Thanks a lot, I did not know that. In that case I recommend using mains to power the 4CH and 24V AC only for the valves.

​@@csongorvarga I use the following sensor for my sprinkler system. It is a simple Normally Closed switch. When it rains, the cork inside gets wet and expands - opening the switch. This is connected to a Siemens LOGO PLC as a discrete input. But you could put the rain sensor in series with the power supply to your Sonoff 4CH Pro. Sonoff will not have power until the sensor resets (usually 12-20 hours after rain stops). www.amazon.com/Orbit-Sprinkler-System-Freeze-Sensor/dp/B000A7SPPU

@csongorvarga
@csongorvarga 3 жыл бұрын
It is a good question. As far as I know commercial rain sensors use a cork which expands when gets wet and it activates a switch. And when it dries out and the cork shrinks, it turns off. I think you could connect this sensor to a Sonoff mini to the switch input. That will turn the mini on and off when rain is detected. And you can create a scene, when the mini turns on, you disable the irrigation scenes, and when it turns off you activate the irrigation scene again.

I can't tell exactly. Sonoff only specifies that the output is rated for 10A, does not say if the DC current is same or not. They usually have the same amps rating for 24V DC as well.

Hello and congratulations for your channel, my garden has 8 channels of pop up irrigation system. Im understanding that I have to use 2 of the 4ch pro. How can I make them to work one after the other? Not at the same time but not also with alo of hours between them difference.
@csongorvarga
@csongorvarga Жыл бұрын
I would use the same technique as I explained in the video. You can create a manual scene, where you list each of the 8 channels of the 2 4CH Pro and add the delay in between them. Just one note which came from a comment here: once the scene is running, we could not find a way of stopping it. Maybe you can have a switch to kill power to the 4CH Pros and wait for the scene to complete.

Szia Csongor, jól működik a rendszer az iránymutatásod alapján, egy kérdésem lenne, a manuálisan elindított programot (egymás után megy a 4 csatorna) hogyan lehet leállítani teljesen? Ha csinálok egy másik manuális programot hogy minden csatornát kikapcsoljon akkor az éppen nyitott mágnes szelepet leállítja de a háttérben fut tovább a program és ha eljön az idő indítja a következő csatornát, tehát a kérdés a manuális programot hogyan lehet teljesen kikapcsolni hogy megálljon?

Szia, egyiket sem lehet hozzá csatlakoztatni. Ez egy általános okos relé, ilyeneket nem támogat. Igazából ez is csak egy olyan példa volt részemről, hogy estelg még erre is használható. Igen a Sonoff-nak vannak 433MHz-en működő reléi, amihez rádiós kapcsolót lehet párosítani. De azt nem tudom hogy ki lehetne-e váltani eső érzékelővel.
@csongorvarga
@csongorvarga Жыл бұрын
Ha jól tudom akkor ezek az eső érzékelők nem más mint egy parafa dugó, ami a víz határása megdagad és egy kis kapcsolót bekapcsol. Talán az lenne a legegyszerűbb, hogy ez a kapcsoló mondjuk egy relén keresztül megszakítva a 24V-ot. És akkor ha le is fut az okosvezérlés, a 24V nem jut el a szelepekhez és nem nyitnak ki.
