I am quite impressed with the Hydrosys system - this is exactly what i was looking for to control my irrigation in Arizona. So far i have 6 soil moisture sensors for my palm trees and 1 control for the irrigation (2 zones). Here's a quick photo of the esp8266 nodemcu setup (not shown is the solar panel that goes inside), with solar charging features. I also was able to integrate lorawan sensors that i had from a previous attempt to control the irrigation. I used chirpstack to integrate with MQTT then obviously captured by Hydrosys. What i am finding out is the lorawan sensors are more energy efficient compared to the esp8266 nodemcus. Next step is to see if i can use the cube cell htcc-ab01 (lorawan micro) to work as well.
Again, Hydrosys is a great system, a bit overkill for my needs. I am trying to find out how to modify the home page to show the current values as oppose to averages but not a big issue yet.
based on my reading it seems to be a great solution at an affordable cost. Although not officially lora, it seems very close. I will look into it a bit more and see if i can integrate the HC-12 into a smaller package i.e. within the Raspi 3a+. I probably could achieve the same at 915 mhz - lora with a benefit to reach longer range. Great job.
Also as an aside, i manually upgraded to your latest version and noticed it messed up my "MAC" address - every booth it changed the address. I did add the following to rectify (which was not needed before):
If Network-manager is installed.
To disable the MAC address randomization create the file:
Code: Select all
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/100-disable-wifi-mac-randomization.conf
And add:
Code: Select all
[connection]
wifi.mac-address-randomization=1
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
