I want to control my  8 zone 

Smartenit model #5010A

irrigation system using ISY994i and having (weather bug) not used anymore now its Ham Weather at ($25.00 per month) tell my irrigation system its time to water the yard .  Can this be set-up like this? THANK YOU. .

 

I'm new with this stuff, so this I'm sure its a stupid question, why would we wamt a weather service to hook up to and ISY if you can't use it to control something ?

 

Whats the best way to controll a water system using weather reports?

Hi easytim,

 

Of course this can be done. I am just a little confused about $25.00/month. Where did you get that from?

 

Please do not hesitate to contact our support (links below) if you need any help with installation/configuration.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Its something I read, but I'm new so what do I know.   Your saying Ham Weather is free? Thank you

Hi easytim,

 

HAM Weather is a one time fee of $49.00 for the module. There are no monthly fees.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

I just purchased this 5010A EZFlora but my ISY-994i says it is not supported. Is this true?  How can I control this thru the ISY-994i? I have the 4.2.30 firmware installed.

Run Tools | Diagnostics | Event Viewer at LEVEL 3.

 

Use New INSTEON Device to add EZFlora and post event trace.   I just added an EZFlora to 4.3.1.  Don't think there were any changes added to 4.3.1 in this area.

 

Also click Help | About and verify UI is 4.2.30.

Thanks for the answer. It took three tries before ISY recognized it. I am running 4.2.30. I want to set this up so I can control remotely while on vacation. My sprinkler runs off my well which I have set to turn off when my alarm is armed to on and it turns back on when the alarm is disarmed. This way I can remotely turn well back on run a sprinkler program and then have well shut off again when watering is done. Water is never on when house is unoccupied.

Hi dennisric,

 

We had this issue with another device and it turned out to be the device was reporting a nonsensical category/subcategory.

 

Can you please go to http://your-isy.ip-address/rest/nodes/address of this device> and paste it back here?

 

With kind regards,

Michel
