Irrigation garden with buienradar Topic is solved

[remko2000]

I can give my gardenplants water with a domoticz on/of switch (with off timer). I want on daily basis water my plants but not when it rains that day. I have also a buienradarswitch ' it rains' in domoticz.

What is the easiest way to script this which I involed the rainswitch? Is it possible whit a blocky? I have no knownledge of lua/dzventz.

Maybe read this topic. https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... in#p205499

[remko2000]

I saw this tread. The problem I encountered is that most of the example scripts are based on Weatherundergroundinfo. WU doens't provided free API's anymore so I use primarily Buienradar. I tried a couple of times to adjust a script to buienradarsensors but that is by no means an easy task for me.

Please post you're blocky here. That's easier to see what's going wrong

[remko2000]

I made this blocky:

I want that only in the evening/night (between 20.00 and 8.00 hour) my irrigation (waterpomp) goes on when my 'lavendel voch' is above 30 (cb).
It's switch off itself.

Is this the correct way or do I have to use variables? And how do I use this?

[wouterlet]

I think it could be able to work, but time can't be after 20:00 and before 8:00. Blocky only thinks in one day. Change the and between the time in or and I think it will work.

[remko2000]

Thx. I adjust it but my blocky doesn't work. After trying some things it looks like the problem is the variable 'lavendel vocht'. If I try another randow variable (by example the lux value outside) it does work.What is the problem with this variable and can I fix this or is there another workaround?

[waaren]

After trying some things it looks like the problem is the variable 'lavendel vocht'.

What is the devicetype / subtype for the device lavendel vocht as shown on the devices tab ?
And please also show the Blockly as it is now after you made the changes in time logic in you answer.

The best time is watering garden is in mornings )

[remko2000]

this is my blocky now (I switched to fixed time):

'Lavendel vocht' is type 'General, Soil Moisture'

'Lavendel vocht' is type 'General, Soil Moisture'

Because the Soil Moisture device stores its moisture value in another place then most other devices (it uses nValue while most other utility devicetypes use sValue), Blockly is not able to evaluate the value.

You could try below dzVents alternative.

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        timer = 
        {
            'at 09:00',
            'at 21:00',
        },
    },
    
    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when OK
        marker = 'Beregening',
    },

    execute = function(dz)
        local soilDevice = dz.devices('Lavendel vocht')
        local moisture = soilDevice.moisture
        local pump = dz.devices('Waterpomp')
        
        dz.log(soilDevice.name .. ' measures a moisture of ' .. moisture .. ' cb ',dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        
        if moisture < 30 then -- Should this be more ( > ) or less ( < )then 30 ?  
            pump.switchOn()
            pump.switchOff().afterSec(3600)
            dz.notify('Beregening', 'De planten worden automatisch beregend',dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL)
        end    
    end
}

I try this dzvents script and it works! Great!

Only strange thing is that only the time ' 21:00' works and ' 09.00' not. Maybe it is: 9:00 and not 09:00?

09:00 and 9:00 should both work. But I see in your post that you use 09.00 ?
the hour minute divider must be a :

What version do you use ?

[remko2000]

I use 2020.2 (latest stable). In use for both times ':' .

If I change to 10:30 It looks likes the script is now running

I checked my log:

Code: Select all

2020-05-08 10:30:00.529 Status: dzVents: Info: Beregening: ------ Start internal script: Irrigatiescript2:, trigger: "at 10:30"

2020-05-08 10:30:00.532 Status: dzVents: Info: Beregening: ------ Finished Irrigatiescript2

It measures 25CB so it's less than 30 so irrigation is not needed.

Then please try again tomorrow with the original 'at 09:00'. I just retested with this and it does work as designed.

Hello remko2000,

I want to set up an Automat irrigation, too, supported by a soil moisture sensor. Can you tell me which device do you use to get the soil moisture into Domoticz?

Thx,
Zavjah

I use the Mi Flora sensors of Xiaomi

Hi Waaren,

Good morning.
I was having the same problem with my Xiaomi Mi Flora Sensors.
Getting this errors:
2020-08-21 10:03:00.354 Error: EventSystem: Lua script error (Blockly), Name: Tijd Planten meldingen_5 => [string "result = 0; weekday = os.date('*t')['wday']; ..."]:1: attempt to compare nil with number
2020-08-21 10:03:00.354 Error: EventSystem: Lua script error (Blockly), Name: Tijd Planten meldingen_6 => [string "result = 0; weekday = os.date('*t')['wday']; ..."]:1: attempt to compare nil with number

I have got 4 sensors, and want to get notifications like you can see in my Blockly.
Can you please help me how to make a script in dzVents so this works?
I already edited your script so it works for one of the sensors for the water. How to make this script working for all 4 plants and also the plant food sensors?

Code: Select all

return {
    on = {
        timer = 
        {
            'at 09:39',
        },
    },
    
    logging =
    {
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG, -- set to domoticz.LOG_ERROR when OK
        marker = 'Plant Meldingen',
    },

    execute = function(dz)
        local soilDevice = dz.devices('Zolder Bananenboom Vochtigheid')
        local moisture = soilDevice.moisture
        
        dz.log(soilDevice.name .. ' measures a moisture of ' .. moisture .. ' cb ',dz.LOG_DEBUG)
        
        if moisture < 20 then -- Should this be more ( > ) or less ( < )then 30 ? 
            dz.notify('Bananenboom water', 'De Bananenboom moet water hebben',dz.PRIORITY_NORMAL)
        end    
    end
}

Happy to help but need some additional information.

Names, types and subtypes of all involved sensors
Per plant the water- and foodlimits to decide when notification is required.

What/which device do you use and how is it connected? Looking for something myself

The Gardena one is quite expensive and needs cloud connection which I am not really in favor off
