TheA2Z Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 I have a flume and a Rachio. I automate just about everything I can in the house. How are you using Eisy, Flume and Rachio to automate? I guess I can see a scenario where "if I put down x number of gallons in watering Zone 1, shut off watering of zone 1." What else are you all doing with it?
stevehoyt Posted June 29, 2023 Posted June 29, 2023 I have a Flume and a Rain Machine controller. I use it to detect problems in a given circuit. If > x + 1 gallons is running where x = expected flow, I send an alert to check for a problem with that circuit. I have a large yard with 20+ circuits and due to dogs, squirrels, and gophers etc., have frequent problems, especially with the drip irrigation.
TheA2Z Posted June 29, 2023 Author Posted June 29, 2023 @stevehoyt I like it. Right now I have a 4 zone Rachio 2. This winter, going to install about 12 drip zones across the front and back yard and move to Rachio 3 16 zone. Having that monitoring with Flume is great idea. This weekend Im changing out my rainbird rotors for Hunter MP rotators. My fun project in 90 degree weather... But that is outside of automation... Anyone else have any cool uses of Flume with their sprinkler system? Or in home? Im thinking home, I can do a if leak turn off main home valve. I have leak detectors everywhere but pipe could burst where leak detector isnt.
