Sprinkler Auto/Off Control

[Guest sameri]

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:

but I really want access to the Auto/Off mode selection.

 

Thanks in advance.

Do you mean to tell me that you did not use the search tool ?

Yes I did use the search tool but found nothing to help me. That doesn't mean the questions has never been answered, it just means I did not find the answer...?

Refreshing the post. 

Is there any way to switch the sprinklers between Auto and Off mode by VD?

[Guest sameri]

I've tried my hardest today to work this out myself but am seeking some guidance.

 

Using Firefox Developer I've interrogated the commands and got the following:

The API call as far as I can tell is /api/devices/xxx/action/setDrenchingMode

where xxx = the device ID

 

Then the paramater sent is for the 2 commands I am interested in are:

{"args":["off"]}

{"args":["auto"]}

Using this article:

I have attempted to code these commands in Lua but the article does not explicitly state how to process the "arg" parameter...

 

What I ended up with in my VD was (with all the General settings set the same as the example in the link above):

POST /api/devices/xxx/action/setDrenchingMode HTTP/1.1
Host: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Authorization: Basic Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxx=
{"args":["off"]}

 

and a few other versions of the above... Can anyone help point me in the right direction? Am I even close?

 

I'm VERY new to this but trying to work through it...

[Guest sameri]

Well turns out I was VERY close... Just needed one more paragraph after the authorization.

 

Very stoked. That's my first ever bit of "code"

 

I'll post up a finished VD later on for anyone that is interested.

Just adding to this thread too.. as it is more pertinent here.. this is what I have done now.

I have a VD with an Auto and OFF buttons.. the code below is for Auto. Simply replicate it for OFF and change the mode value to off. Some reason, when I upload the code to  the  thread below, it removes the square brackets.

Hello, 

 

With this code:

 

local localhost = '127.0.0.1';
local port = 11111;
HC2 = Net.FHttp(localhost, port)
response ,status, errorCode = HC2:GET("/api/panels/drenchers")
jsonTable = json.decode(response)
dr = jsonTable.drenchers

for i = 1, #dr do
    fibaro:debug("Device : " .. i)
        fibaro:debug(dr.id)
    fibaro:call(dr.id, "SetDrenchingMode", "off")
end

selfId = fibaro:getSelfId()
fibaro:call(selfId, "SetProperty", "ui.lblSprinklerStatus.value", "ARRET")

 

The Drenching Mode nothing changes with Firmware 4.541. What's the problem in this Code?

Hi @sameri , I would be very interested in your finished VD.
Do you want to share it with us?
