A free, open-source irrigation controller for Home Assistant

Описание и применение

Интеграция автоматизирует полив сада, учитывая растения, почву, температуру и дождь, и предоставляет понятные отчёты о каждом действии.

Задача

Garden owners forget to water or water unnecessarily after rain, leading to inconsistent irrigation.

Результат

The integration automates irrigation based on real‑time environmental data, reduces water waste, and provides transparent, human‑readable logs of watering decisions.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Install the ZoneFlow integration via HACS (search, download, restart).
• 2. Configure existing hardware (valve, pump, rain gauge, soil probe) in Home Assistant.
• 3. Define plant zones and their growth requirements.
• 4. The controller calculates watering schedules using plant, soil, temperature, and rain data.
• 5. It executes watering cycles, ensuring the valve is always closed after use.
• 6. It logs each action with a plain‑text explanation (e.g., "skipped at 05:30, it rained 12 mm yesterday and that covers it.").
• 7. Users can review the logs to understand why watering was skipped or performed.

Доказательства

You already have the hardware: a valve, maybe a pump, maybe a rain gauge or a soil probe.

Источник

It tells you what it did and why, in plain words.

Источник

The valve always gets closed. Most of the code is about what happens when things go wrong: restarts mid‑watering, a valve that doesn’t answer, a sensor that disappears.
