Sprinklers control in Node Red

[@nabblschnur]

Just wanted to say thank you for this amazing flow. I enhanced it with automatic weather precipitation check (darksky api) and a google home integration so I can actually start/stop the irrigation manually with voice control as well.

[@vargacsongor6950]

Thanks. Very useful features. Well done.

Did you use darksky api in node red? anything you could share? Thnxs

Great video I have started building in NodeRed how to do I add these to my HA dashboard, been looking around on internet for hours to no success.

[@LlamaOates]

Sorry this dashboard looks exactly like the lovelace Home Assistant Dashboard. Now that I have worked it out I realise that your layout is purely a Node Red dashboard. For anyone using Home Assistant and would like to know how to get it in lovelace this is done these are following steps please see this post over on the HA community - community.home-assistant.io/t/solved-how-to-get-node-red-dashboard-on-a-ha-dashboard-tab/196022

that's a great demo. Just wonder if you ever thought about creating a specified time the whole area will run. Like do 15 minutes watering or 30 Minutes or maybe different time for different zones

[@csongorvarga]

Yes, that would be interesting as well. But I rather keep the time the same and water less often. For example every 2nd day or every 3rd day.

[@csongorvarga]

In fact I think I need to smarten this by adding soil sensors and have the sprinklers running based on how wet the soil is.

Well done. I have something very similar. But I would like to have it control via mobile. Do you have any idea?

[@csongorvarga]

You can load the dashboard on a mobile browser. Bit slow but works. I installed OpenVPN on the same PI where Node Red is running and I can access it when I am not at home.

Which part of the flow would I need to copy-paste if I wanted selectable two times in a day for irrigation? (for example morning and evening)

[@csongorvarga]

Well, this logic was designed to have one irrigation per day. It would need to be modified to allow multiple irrigation points per day.

[@mountainfanatic]

Any chance you could make a second expanded version? Since it would probably be too hard for a noob like me.

[@csongorvarga]

I would not promise anything, but since you ask can you explain in a bit more detail what is it you are after? What do you want to use if for?

[@mountainfanatic]

Everything same as yours, just the ability to be able to have it trigger in the morning and in the evening. So two drop downs with the scheduled time. An additional idea for extension to this would be, get weather from openweathermap/forecastio and stop schedule for irrigation if it was raining.

Comment?
