Hi Michal,

thanks for your reply, i have managed to tweak the rules with “virtual switches” as i have no IO input. For the time being it looks like it 's working somehow.

I have three questions:

  • why are you using var OnOffType ON_R & var OnOffType OFF_R. I think this avoids my system to manually stop the irrigation system.

  • Is t normal that the irrigation rule is starting the watering every hour? I thought it is supposed to do it only once a day?

  • The item “WtrStartBtn”, is it in connect to a physical switch or a button. I mean here how the signal is created. Is the state either closed or open, or do you just close the circuit when hitting it?

BTW: i have changed the code for Telegram as push service, as i use the app on a daily basis.

Regards

Patrick
