Working to include data from weather forecast providers, hopefully will be available soon in the next release in a couple on weeks. First version will support only one provider but the SW will have flexibility to support most of the providers changing configurations.

Hello Angelo,

thanks for your reply.

I would like to use the weather forecast to adjust the amount of needed water.

If it is very hot, the plants need some more water then normally.

If it will probably rain more then it must not irrigate then on a normal sunny day.

About the HTML command, is it possible to send the command with username:password:command?

Or is it possible to define a external device as whitelisted (by ip or mac address) which does not need to login?

I understand that security is important, but in my case the raspberry connected to my Wi-Fi directly, so the risk is not so big, and as I have monitored my water meter, I have a control instance if there will be water flow on times they are not scheduled.

Regards

Dominik

Hello,

There are HTML commands that can be used for the control of the valves activation, anyway they will not work unless you are logged in to the server. This is a critical security feature otherwise anybody could control your system just knowing your IP address.

The system right now has no API and I'm not a real expert of this type of interfaces.

I have a question about using the weather forecast website, how are you going to control the irrigation based on the weather forecast? is it based on rain probability?.

Got already some requests to connect my system to weather forecast websites (e.g. openweathermap) but still evaluating it.

Regards,

Angelo
