So the "readinputpin" command reads the 0 or 1 status of the GPIO.
Then the calibration can be used to adjust the values. I like how Krumpel set the calibration, I suppose the value is now 10 when below threshold and 20 when above.
To show up in the "autowatering" page, the sensor should have the field "userfor" set to "watercontrol". As explained here:
If you need assistance on the configuration of autowatering, let me know what is the behaviour you would like to get, we will try to set something which get close to it.
I am using GPIO18. Look at the picture. https://ctrlv.cz/pn80. There is sensor calibration https://ctrlv.cz/XO9D . If you did exactly after me then if DO led is ON on board that means value 20. (Sorry for my English :D)
What gpio pins did you use I can't get mine to read the sensor at all no matter what I try and as I'm planning on running a few devices the board isn't cost effective for me
Oh i just figured it out. Controller cmd is Readininputpin. When DO led on the sensor board is ON that means 0 when on 1(inverse). Thank you Angelo you are AWESOME!
The description of the sensor says that it has a digital output, it should be a kind of 0v when below threshold and 5v above threshold. The 5v are not compatible with the GPIO pins of the Raspberry which will accept up to 3.3v. In case you can make a circuit that makes the two compatible, then we can try to set the Software side.
I fear that the above is not worth our time as these are quite useless (crappy) sensors.
I do not use that crappy metal thing i made my own. I regulated the voltage to 3.3 (maximum output of digital pin is 3.3V and minimum 100mV). I just need to know controller cmd settings in hardware page
Which data pin you now using Lucas ?
Right now i am getting a reading of 10. The second light comes on when i put the sensor into water but the value does not change to 20. Any ideas?
EDIT: seems the the sensors needed to be fully submerged in the water for the reading in H4 changed
Hey I see a lot of progress there.

Sort of got it working on testing I'm getting two readings one wet one dry but I still get no sensor data on when I try to set up auto watering
