– Manually run a station (using cm) : – Manually stop a station (using cm) : – Manually start a program (using mp) : but I am now wondering how I could stop a running program (whatever the way it has been started, manually or automatically) ?Įdit : it seems that I can use the “Change controller variables” (cv), “Reset all stations” (rsn) : Am I right ?Īnother thing I wish to be able to do is to inhibit (prevent) the future starting of any program, and reversely (other widget) authorize (= remove the inhibition) this starting : this is something I have to do sometimes for example when the wheather forecast are bad or when the recent watering has been quite excessive. I have attentively read the os-api-2.1.7.pdf document, and I think I understood how I can send to the OS the following requests : However, I am already thinking about the IFTTT applets I can prepare, mainly using the “Maker” and “Button widget” capabilities to interface with the OS functions. I am currently far from the location where my OS is installed, so I cannot perform any test before some weeks or monthes. Please let me know if I have been clear enough □Īlmost one year after our discussion, I recently (2 days ago) noticed that IFTTT is now available for OpenSprinkler, and I want to warmly thank you for that !!! – create the Opensprinkler IFTTT Actions as described aboveĪnd we will just have to create the IFTTT Recipes… – create the OpenSprinkler IFTTT Triggers as described above – create the OpenSprinkler IFTTT Channel (the controller) So, to summarize, what you “just have to do” is : – Low flow value (if a flow sensor is attached, low limit to be preset) – Rain detected (if a rain sensor is attached) – Starting / Stopping a station (show the Name of the station) – Starting / Ending a program (show the Name of the program) In my opinion, IFTTT should co-exist with OS, that means that the last order received either from IFTTT or from OS must have the priority (as it is the case with the Netatmo thermostat…). – Switch the wheather adjustment method to Manual (or back to Auto) – Stop a running program or station (started either by IFTTT or by OS) – Start a selected station for a preset duration Regarding now the OpenSprinkler system, I think it could be usefull to be able to improve the manual control of the system, for example (this is “my” minimum required actions list, but other Actions can be added) : The available Triggers (“IF” in IFTTT) for the Netatmo thermostat are the followings :įor your information, I have also a Netatmo meteo-station with no IFTTT Actions, but with a lot of Triggers, based on Temperature (Internal or External) value, on Humidity value, on Pressure value, etc… I can then also use these Triggers to control the thermostat using IFTTT recipes…įinally, I also use IFTTT DO-button capability to control a Wemo connected plug that allows me to switch (On/Off) any electrical appliance (external light for example). These DO-buttons are based on the available Actions (“That” in IFTTT), as defined by Netatmo. – switch to manual mode (a selected setpoint for a preset duration) – switch to frost guard mode or to away mode (for a preset duration) I am currently an user of IFTTT for the control of a connected thermostat (Netatmo), and I really appreciate the powerness of the IFTTT DO-buttons that allow me to control the thermostat more easily and quickly than with the web UI (or even than smartphone dedicated application), for example to :
