Hi, I am using the watering plan, which is working fine. I try to add the automation function to avoid watering after heavy rainfall, why I use the "over min and under max" function.
I am not sure I understand how it is working.
Let me try to explain:
I have set the schedule to water every day at 18:00
I have set automation to "over min and under max" with a max value set at 40% (set low just for testing purpose)
Despite the actual reading at 18:00 is 45%, the watering still takes place. Can someone help me with what I am doing wrong?
I have included pictures of the automation setup and the data below.

Heureka, it works with the change in watering schedule, why I expect your analysis was spot on.
Thanks a lot, that was very helpful.

Had a quick look at the file, most probably the reason is the activation time, from the log we can see that the deactivation starts at 18:00:08, just after the wateringplan activation.
deactivation duration is 10 min (according to sensor reading interval), and it is renewed every 10 minutes if the conditions are met.
Probably the algorithm should work in within the set time range for the irrigation activation (under MIN), but not for the watering deactivation (over MAX), which should be working all time irrespective of the time interval.
I should better think about the implications of this. If you have comments about it, let me know.
Ciao Angelo,
Many thanks for your response. I have included the logfile from that day. I have also changed the scheduled irrigation time to 18:15 as recommended and will report the result this evening.
Hello,
can you send me the log file of that day, the log file can be downloaded in Hardwaresetting page, clicking "current log file" button. You will see a list links to files with dates.
Looking at your setting, everything seems but I start to think that the time of the day may cause some issue, probably the algorithm will start to work from that time interval (also the watering block will be enabled only on that time interval). Clearly if this is the case I have to check and modify the algorithm.
In case can you set the waterinplan irrigation time to fall inside the time interval (e.g. 18:10)? just to check if in this case it works.
Thanks,
Angelo
