Irrigation starts wen Raining sensor is true

[Loic691]

Hi On my 3 programs, two have been launched this morning instead not... Raining Sensor is true since yesterday afternoon.

My version : last update 2024.09.06

Next cycle is yet to Rain, so OK with this information

Hi I spent days testing and still issues!

I found a problem with setting the last ran time. I will put out a new version shortly.

Then see what new issue you can find me!

Think it was good now but I have to test the stop cycle when irrigation is running. Wait few days before closing the issue.

You can replace french traduction "Aucun ajustement" by "Seuil de pluie atteint" => English trad is "rain threshold reached" or in short version : "Seuil atteint" => "threshold reached

Problem is not solved... Program is launched even if the rain sensor is on

Hi I will keep looking, The standard rain sensor model is definitely working in my testing. I just can't find a method that gets your result. Is it possible your rain sensor changed after watering commenced?

[Loic691]

Hi I noticed a strange thing on the rain sensor switch...

When i click on it I saw last change by sensor.openweathermap_rain

But when I enter in the template of this sensor, i'm not using openweathermap_rain... I just use my own forecast and amount of rain in the last 24h.

So an idea, do you have a hardcode rain sensor ? Maybe an issue of HA But I never seen that...

[Loic691]

No it seams not be that... In my template i have a sensor made with a simple tempate which extract attribute of weathermap rain sensor... So HA seams showing the main sensor source instead of the intermediate sensor.

So i don't understand why irrigation program is launched if the rain sensor is true....

I had the same yesterday (Monday). It was raining, and the HA sensor was "TRUE". I quickly logged into HA and stopped the program.

My program is set to run on Mon, Thu. Then this morning (Tuesday), It started again while the rain sensor was also still set as TRUE. and I am running V2024.09.07

My binary.sensor is a template based on the amount of rain fallen in the last two days. {% if states('sensor.rain_over_last_48hours') | float(0) > 0 %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}

I'm veyr busy at work at the moment, but if I get a chance, i'll play around a bit with a static/manual rain sensor.

Finally found the problem, sorry it took so long. I will have a new release up shortly

[Loic691]

Nice job ;-) For curiosity, what it is ?

[petergridge]

I was using the wrong state attribute. It now uses the state as stored in the status sensor created for each zone.

V2024.10.01 published as draft.

Test in progress

[petergridge]

Hi Just release V2024.10.02 there was another issue affecting the next run. It was not being triggered correctly in the code after a scheduled execution.

[Loic691]

Hello Peter Yes I saw, I done the new update, few minutes ago. Wating for next runs to test Thx

[Loic691]

This issue seams solved since your last update. I can continue test if you want, the summer is finished in France. I stoped powering sprinkler but I keep notification when irrigation start to test

[petergridge]

Thanks for your help, happy for any issues :) I am pretty sure that issue is fixed now but there is always another on lurking.
