Hi guys. Apologies if this has already been answered but was wondering if there was a way to switch the individual sprinklers between Auto/Off using a VD or similar so I can do it from the phone App? I'd like to be able to effectively disable my sprinklers during winter and only water automatically during summer. I know there is a good VD for the "Sprinkler Panel" (here: https://forum.fibaro.com/topic/21066-sprinkler-panel/?page=3#comment-146054) but I really want access to the Auto/Off mode selection. Thanks in advance.

Hello forum, I'm a newbie to Fibaro but not home automation (have been using X10 for some years and recently tried Insteon which I thought was a complete disaster!) I am now building up my Z-WAVE network and started with a Fibaro Home Center 2 and some Motion sensors, Wall Plugs, etc. One of the things I would like to be able to organise if automatic watering of my lawns. I currently use a normal watering computer but I am toying with the idea of using the HC2 to control that and have seen several articles on that, looks ok. I also recently bought a full Netatmo set (Indoor and outdoor sensors, wind sensor and rain sensor). I would love to be able to grab the readings from these sensors to drive the sprinklers. How do I do that? Am I going to have to learn LUA and create Virtual Devices to achieve that? Appreciate all and any feedback and advice! Regards

But i'd like to received any notification if the system doesn´t work properly. The problem that I have is that sometimes the relay go to dead node status and if I do not check the system everyday I will have a problem. Could anyboy help me on this? Thanks in advanced
