Your sprinkler system is more DIY using relays? I understand that ALL sprinkler systems use relays to activate the valves, but that's hidden in my system in the sense that I'm telling it about the end result, not the intermediate result. Relay activates the valve, making "valve" the target.

Yes, I wired an 8 port Tasmota relay into the Rain Bird controller so I can activate it through either means.

updated to 1.1.2 to eliminate appearance of duplicate water and temperature attributes

I would double check any other apps that were using these attributes after updating this app.

My sprinkler app that was using one of the water attributes was set to wind after updating.

Thanks for the quick update.

[garyjmilne]

It was probably pointing to the “water” attribute that was removed.

Thanks for pointing this out.

[oldcomputerwiz]

That's exactly what I figured.

The Watering Threshold in Inches

FWIW, I couldn't input ".5" (it ignores a leading "."), but "0.5" does work (using Hubitat 2.4.1.175).

FYI in case this helps anybody - this also works in Canada. Just google "4 digit icao airport code" with your closest airport. Seems to be "C" and then the usual - so Toronto is CYYZ. Units seem to be fixed in Imperial unfortunately.

[garyjmilne]

Is the raw data pulled in Canada imperial or metric?

[derek1]

Because it’s pulling from the NWS site, it looks like everything is in imperial for consistency. There is an option to change to metric and I noted the new URL. I manually pulled the site URL data from line 347, added “/metric/“ … so now “def wxURI = "https://forecast.weather.gov/data/obhistory/metric/" + settings.airportCode + ".html"” and that seemed to work!

[garyjmilne]

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind and add some options for metric handling when I'm looking for a short project sometime.
