I realize this video is three years old, but thought I'd compliment you on your completeness. I've been looking for this info and happened upon your video... just what I needed! Thanks! Also, fyi, your hydrosys4 forum link appears to be broken.
Great Video! Thank you very much! I have some relay boards, raspberry pi 3B's, a sensor, and a power supply in my desk, got the relay's working but the interface was too much for me.. Tonight i will try to make a setup to run your climate control system. Have a Nice Evening ;-)
It makes me wonder, why people use this crap, bunch of strange boards? Take normal PLC like Siemens LOGO (230V AC or 12/24V DC), simply connect wires. In soft you can make those relays as required for device
Strange, why you don’t use 2 relays, one for closing, one for opening? It also gives posibility to open it partially. Only thing, make sure in your software, that both relays are never activated simultaniously.
Hi there, I very much like your project and appreciate the effort that has gone into designing and building this irrigation system, wanted to ask you - any plans on making the automation/irrigation hat for rpi available in your tindie store again? I'd very much like to order one... or any chance you'd be willing to share the PCB files and BOM for all necesary parts - doesn't have to be free ;-)
In the USA, many communities have odd/even day watering. Example - I can only water on odd numbered days, and not between 8am-5pm. I didn't see in the software (Release 3.40e) where it's possible to choose an odd/even day schema. Is it possible? Or would you add it as an option? Or is it easy for me to add that option? We need Hydrosys4 to check to see if it's an odd numbered or even numbered day as a first priority to allow or not allow watering.
looking to tackle this project in the coming week... at the 10:36min mark, why is it showing humidity vs moisture % of soil and why is it showing 600+% ?
That's a very good question. I would like to use it on a drinking water project and I'm hesitating to do so... There are also copper sensors which are RoHS compliant, but again I'd like a solid answer from an expert.
Thanks for the video. I have some improvements for your diagram (t5:42). To say that Init status is Valve=Open. Instead of RED, YELLOW and BLUE, write OPEN-SGN, GND and CLOSE-SGN respectively. Use NC symbols for both end switches, they turn open just when VALVE-OPEN or VALVE-CLOSE position are reached, thus instead of just write OPEN and CLOSE them, write VALVE-OPEN and VALVE-CLOSE. Your hack is very good, I don't understand why a commercial product has this mistake! Regards.
Hello, thanks for sharing the informations on this video, and which were closed to what I was looking for. I have a question that I hope you can reply to it. There's a module named " W1209 Temperature control " it has a relay. can I use this for the following situation --> - when temperature is for example 38° or above --> then Open the valve ( to let water in ) - when temperature is below 38° --> close the valve to stop the water flow
how do i modify chirp to sensor mode only and program for connection with arduino uno using arduino for irrigation plant watering i have the relays and all of the components my problem is with how i connect the chirp sensor with the rest pls help thanks
Thanks for your nice video, very clear. May I ask what was the purpose of the bpard with keys that you attached to the pi? And what was the name of android app?
