Station Grouping #4

Closed garudaonekh closed 3 years ago

garudaonekh commented 3 years ago

Hi,

  1. Can we group station together for easy naming and scheduling?
  2. Can we set a group of station to be run sequentially but not all sequentially?

Here's my problem: we have several greenhouses, each greenhouse has around 8 to 10 stations and we need to irrigate the valve in the same greenhouse sequentially but we need to irrigate all the greenhouse at the same time.

Thanks;

Hi, yes, the stations you want to control are assigned to each program. Programs can run together at the same time. The behavior can be set in the station settings (whether the stations are to be started one after the other within the program or next to each other). Example: 16 stations connected station settings 1-16 will be set as a sequence program 1 will start at 10 o'clock. Stations 1-8 are assigned to this program program 2 will also start at 10 o'clock. Stations 9-16 are assigned to this program. At 10 o'clock these stations will be started one after the other 1 + 9 then 2 + 10, 3 + 11 ....

Stations can be named just as programs can be named. The system can also use virtual stations with ESP32, which have relays and are connected via Wi-Fi. I'm sending a preview of my irrigation system (it's in Czech, but it will be enough to understand). The system is in Czech, English and Slovak) Martin Screenshot 2021-08-04 at 12-39-50 Chata - Domů Screenshot 2021-08-04 at 12-39-40 Chata - Programy Screenshot 2021-08-04 at 12-39-30 Chata - Stanice
