Bumbershoot Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 Enhancements : - Added Gallon per hour I'm curious if this was added in support of this nodeserver? I'm considering buying a FlumeWater device to work in conjunction with my Rainmachine, much as @stevehoyt is apparently doing. I see some discussion in the github repository that suggests something like this.
stevehoyt Posted March 2, 2022 Posted March 2, 2022 Yes it was a request I made awhile back. I currently have to multiple cubic feet by 7.48 to get gallons per minute. This makes the programming simpler. Thanks to the great cooperation of @glarsen and @JimboAutomates everything is now in place. I have been testing my programs for a couple weeks now. If you are interested in what I am doing I can provide more info. I am checking actual flow versus expected and sending a notification if I see excessive usage.

I like the sounds of what you're doing. I live in a desert environment with an ongoing and persistent drought and porous, volcanic soil. Proper and effective irrigation requires precision here. Thanks to you, @JimboAutomates and @glarsen for helping me accomplish water savings with these tools (and thanks to @io_guy for starting me down this path). This is the single area where home automation actually pays... Also, @simplextech provided the EcoWitt nodeserver, and the EcoWitt moisture sensors are really useful.
