hello
I have just installed your wonderful sw, raspi3 + relay6 (temp sensor will be added later)
Would like to water my garden, simple manual schedule. Start 8:00 and 21:00 everyday, water pressure is very low, so can not start sprinklers zones at the same time.
Just tested, configured P1 for 2mins for 21:00 for valves (water1-5) and P2 for the drip tube (water6) set 5 mins. I configured delay for 10 sec. Unfortunately this does not work, all started at the same time. If I configure schedule for every valves it wont be easy to use multipliers and there are only 5 schemes. How could I configure?
Thanks Gabriel
I think it turns all on as well the two relays
My problem is that when relay 1 is set to come on relay 2 comes on same time,but not set to come on,it did work ok ?
Hi,
In my system I have same problem of low pressure has you have, therefore I have introduced the delay setting to start the valves at different time even if under the same watering schema (P1 for example).
The delay field indicated the delay that the system will add respect to the scheduled schema.
For example if the P1 starts at 21:00 you can set the delay on water1 to zero so it will start exactly at 21:00, the delay on water2 to 120 sec so water2 will start at 21:00 + 120 sec that is equal to 21:02 and so on for the other water zones.
Below an example of my setting (delay 120 and 240):
In case you are using the Water6 as a common valve for the main tube, the system has a specific setting for that scenario (PowerPin), let me know if my understanding is correct, I'll explain how it works.
Regards,
Angelo
