@jeroenterheerdt I'm making some progress with the blueprints for esphome. I think I'll be done with it in a day or two.

[gatonero]

Here is the blueprint for esphome. There is minimum one bug at the end, where the number of days since last irrigation is reset to zero. In a script it works without any flaw but not in the automation. I don't have any clue why?

hey @gatonero thanks for the blueprint - I discovered another logical error in my automation. Here's hopefully my final automation. Can you update the blueprint?

I will have a look tomorrow.

@jeroenterheerdt could you please tell me where and what you changed. I changed a lot to get a template from your automation. Because it has been some days ago I made the template it's difficult for me to locate the changes.

[jeroenterheerdt]

@gatonero here you go: https://www.diffchecker.com/ennJee7h/.

In summary:

1. Another trigger at midnight
2. An extra input_boolean (irrigation_automation_ran_today) to make sure we don't run it more than once
3. I moved the increment of number_of_days_since_last_irrigation out of the irrigation logic so it also is increased when we don't actually irrigate, but ran the automation.
4. Count number of enabled zones and only trigger actual irrigation when that is >0, because otherwise ESPHOME runs all zones on a default duration.
