I have been using Ambient Weather for some time to get data from my Rainwise station. Works great. I recently used the daily rain and rain rate in programming to turn off sprinklers. So, if rain is greater than 0.45 inches or 0.25 inches/hr, it shuts things off. For some reason, the program shuts off the sprinklers well before the criteria are met. Is there an issue with fractions of an inch?

Possibly. At one time the IoX software didn't really work with fractional values. However, it does have built-in definitions for rain and rain rate so I would expect it to handle them properly.

You'd have to collect the data that the plug-in is sending and what values the program is triggering at and that might provide some insight. Of course, being rain related makes it extra difficult since most of us don't get continuous rain (it may now be 5+ months before I see rain again.

OK. How do I collect the data the plugin sends?

So it just rained! The weather station recorded daily precipitation of 0.02", which is what appears on the plugin and ISY. My program was activated by this data, but it is written to activate only if daily precipitation is >0.45" Attached are plugin, isy data and plugin log. Any ideas?

debug.log install.log

Sorry, no.

The plugin appears to be working correctly.

You might want to post in the IoX Program Support forum to see if it's something with your program.

@SHM Here is my program for comparison.

If

On Sat, Wed

From 4:30:00AM

To 7:30:00AM (same day)

And 'A Plugins / Ambient Weather / Outdoor' Rain (weekly) <= 0.750 Inches

Then

Set 'Outside / Lawn Sprinkler' On

Else

Set 'Outside / Lawn Sprinkler' Fast Off

Well, above you wrote: "My program was activated by this data, but it is written to activate only if daily precipitation is >0.45", but the program you posted says "<= 0.750 Inches"?
