My valve is a pulse per 0.75 gallons of water or 2.84 liters per pulse. The actual flow pulse rate is ((fpr1<<8)+fpr0)/100.0 (L/pulse) fpr : flow pulse rate (scaled by 100) lower/upper byte.number of flow sensor clicks during the last flwrt seconds) (pulses) flwrt : flow count window in unit of seconds (the firmware defines this as 30 seconds by default) (seconds). It appears to be the same as your understanding as well. This is my understanding of the variables used in determining flow rate. While I was running the zone it was saying about 11L/min was the flow rate. I ran a zone for 5 minutes and according to OpenSprinkler a total of 50.94 Liters of water were used. However, when I run a zone this value does not update. I clicked on rebuild devices (I thought I already had, but maybe not) and I can now see the "Flow Sensor" device name. I then multiply this by the flow scale factor - but I'm not sure what units this flow scale factor is in. Currently what I've done is get the 'number of flow clicks' per configurable time period (30sec default) and rescale this to clicks per minute. If you can share any screenshots of the opensprinkler config where you set up the scaling factors then I may be able to work it out. I'm pretty sure the scaling is wrong as I can't work out how it is done. Try this and let me know if you have any issues.īUT. If you install this version, ensure that your opensprinkler has the flow sensor enabled (and configured correctly) then the rebuild devices using the button on the plugin config page, then it should build a flow sensor device and give live values. So the version in the updater, 2.1.8.12 has the flow sensor functionality added. If my plugin doesn't already do what you need, you can definitely do it manually via http.Įdit: Refer to note 20 in the API - you can redirect the javascript file to a local copy on your own network and then i think it will work without internet connection. You can do everything to opensprinkler via http commands (see API document: ) - that's basically all the plugin is based off - the http commands and responses. But the pluginopensprinkler works fine on local lan, no internet required. It also needs internet if you are using the auto-weather update functionality. can you confirm? Also, can individual zones be controlled manually?The Opensprinkler unit doesn't need internet connection to function and run zones, but i do think the native opensprinkler interface needs internet connection unless you locally store a javascript file on it so it can render it's web interface (I may be wrong here). I was looking at open sprinkler in hopes it does not need internet access to function, only local lan connected to homeseer controller.
