themlruts Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 I just put in a EZflora. I have no current rain sensor. I was looking to get a module so I can use the data and have it schedule my waterings. Do I need both?What are the differences?ThankMike
Michel Kohanim Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 Hi Mike, You need both the Climate and Irrigation modules. Irrigation Modes does not work without the Climate module. With kind regards, Michel
stusviews Posted June 1, 2015 Posted June 1, 2015 The EZFlora will water on schedule no matter the weather. A rain sensor will delay the schedule if it rains. But, the rain sensor is useless if it has nothing to control. That's why both the irrigation and climate modules are required for proper irrigation (which will both conserve water and avoid over-watering).
Baja Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 I'm trying to program my EZFlora to only water when needed. I have both the climate and irrigation modules. I'm currently using the value "Irrigation Reqt". However, I notice that this value slowly increases every day without ever decreasing. Is there a better value to key off?
LeeG Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 Is the Irrigation command Irrigation - Cycle Complete being used to indicate amount of water applied when EZFlora Program complete?
Baja Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 No. Do I just run this one time after all stations have completed?
fryfrog Posted July 6, 2015 Posted July 6, 2015 No. Do I just run this one time after all stations have completed? Yeah, and you need to have the amount of water applied correct-ish since it'll lop that amount off of the amount of watering required.
LeeG Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Baja Take a look at this link to the Wiki section that discusses Irrigation. It covers the various areas involved. http://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=Using_the_HAM_Weather_Irrigation_Module
