Newbie Question: How to use Netatmo Weather Station to Control Sprinklers?


LeeSteventon

Question

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

It is not recommended to open same topic in two different places. You already asked same question here:

Just be patient. Forum is not official support and is up to forum members when they see your question and give you solution if they have one.

 

I'am interested in same solution as you. At the moment I have Rain Bird controller and 10 zones with sprinklers and drop by drop irrigation and complete Netatmo weather station. My plan is to replace Rain Bird controller with 5 pcs 2x1.5 relay modules and program it by myself using LUA and include Netatmo rain sensor to delay watering when it is raining. When I do that I will be happy to share solution with forum community. Since there is restriction on panel for irrigation and time can be set to max 15min what is not enough for drop by drop irrigation I will probably write my own solution with virtual device and scene. I can not promise when this will happen but I hope in one or two months time from now.

  • Hi Sankotronic,

     

    Yes I did post it twice (first time I was not sure I had posted in the right forum place and just forgot to either delete it or close it. An honest mistake to make.

    I have automatic irrigation controlled by HC2. I use 5 x 2x1,5Kw relays and a fakro rain sensor connected to a Universal Binary Sensor.

     

    In order to use the Netatmo, yes you will have to learn some LUA.  Or you could go the easier way and use Fibaro weather (seems to be working again) + sprinkler panel.
