Didn't take much time at all.  Since these pictures (attached) I have connected all 8 zones to the Pi and have an interval program running.  Using a v1 Pi Zero W.

I want to add a rain detected status on the home screen (I don't think it currently exists).  I am not finding the related code for changing the WEB UI.  Just need nudge in the right direction.  Or a short doc on the WEB interface design/modification path.

I must be dense, but why is there a duration for an interval program (or for that matter, any program)?  Seems like it would start at the start time, and run until all zones have watered for their individual program times?  Plus the duration is MM:SS, I must be missing something.  I will start looking at the code to see if I can find the logic.

Hi has anyone seen the following issue with SIP_GET command to change options

http://xx.xx.xx.xx:9580/co?pw=xxxxxxx&loc=12345
returns "method not allowed" message on the web page us to send the command to server
same seems to be true for /co options as well
I have ! in my password but /si, /cv functions seem to work.
I was looking at using o23 option to change the water level in the system.
I guess the monthly adj plugin may be the only work around

Thanks,

I have a Hunter C300 Pro system that I have done a bypass on using a relay board and SIP as the control. I have turned the Hunter box to off and tied the wires from the relay board into the Hunter breakout section. Everything is working fine, but I don't have a GPIO port on the computer that is running SIP.  I do have Weewx weather station setup that gives me rain totals and current rain rate every 5 minutes. Is there a way to change SIP to use the station data  to replace the Rain sensor input?

As to how the sensor works. Does SIP just stop the irrigation if the rain sensor is triggered and then allow it to run after the rain, kind of like the rain delay function described in the user guide, or does it skip irrigation for the day that the rain sensor is triggered? I dug around the docs and code as best I could but could not understand how it worked. I'm pretty good at bash scripting but not the best at python as yet.

Thanks for the help

Hi Dan and all community,

It is possible to manual turn on/off a valve from a plug-in?
If yes when I turn on/off any valve a signal is realize to another plug-ins?

Thanks,

Hi Dan,

Had some down time and thought I'd play with MQTT / MQTT_Hass. Mostly all good, took a few pip3 adventures to get the right paho/slugify updates; I might have a junk install with incorrect service setup etc. from years of updates!

When I trigger a run-once from HASS, the station and master starts correctly. Stop the station from HASS and the Master stays running. Stop all stations resets things.
 
[Heh, ask me how I eventually found my weakest bit of piping and then the master still running  ]

Thanks !

PS: I see your Python3-only update is very much in progress; you are a legend for continuing to support this!!

Hi,

SIP is a very interesting software because it can create an professional irrigation system from a raspery pi.
My idea is to become SIP even more versatile. If the number of output could be variable.

Each output it would be interesting to be configurable:
 - use http command for example for SHELLY or an SONOFF device in the local network
 - MQQT command to activate the valve.
 - more industrial irrigation need to activate pumps, for example in my case i have an shelly 1 device to activate pups.
 - same other valves must be activate to have weather in the valve´s NODE.
 - possible same implementation could be done in an Linux machine, no GPIO no be needed. Add possibility to disable GPIO at all.

I am a programmer, my question is how interesting for the community of this feature?
To do this I need to change the core on the program or an plugin solve the problem?

Thanks,

Hi,

Please excuse the naivete  of this question.
Is it possible to set up SIP to run on a Rpi pico?

Hi,

I'm neew to Python and RPi
I was looking for a way to replace my garden watering computer and decide to try using RPi
I started writing my own code and then found SIP. It meets my needs perfectly.
I successfully set up SIP on a Zero W. (I haven't actually connected the relays yet - still waiting for them to arrive, but it runs my LEDS just fine.)
The web interface is fantastic.
Thank you so much.

I live in a region with a rainy and a dry season.  During the height of the rainy season (which sadly is getting shorter and shorter) the watering system is simply off. During the dry season it is on. I am looking for a way to modulate the system during  transitions between seasons.

I noticed that there is an option for a rain sensor. I assume that is to delay watering.
I see there is a weather plugin as well.

Two questions:

Can I use a soil moisture sensor in place of a rain sensor?

Where can I read about the weather plugin?

Thanks again for all your kind help

Hi, I am trying to send an MQTT message to run once and having no luck and out of ideas. I have tried variations of the following and not getting anywhere.
mosquitto_pub -d -h localhost -p 1883 -t SIP/schedule -m '{"S01":0, "S02":5, "S03":0, "Drip":5}'
Client mosqpub|376-otis sending CONNECT
Client mosqpub|376-otis received CONNACK
Client mosqpub|376-otis sending PUBLISH (d0, q0, r0, m1, 'SIP/schedule', ... (37 bytes))
Client mosqpub|376-otis sending DISCONNEC


My zones are being published, so SIP is talking to my broker. But no logs that I can find to give me hints on what is wrong.

So my question is, if I want to execute a run once from MQTT, what am I doing wrong.

Please help.
Thanks,
Chris
