A flow meter can also be connected to the sensor input.
In principle, all two-wire flow meters can be connected. If an additional 5VDC is required, this can be tapped off at the VIN connection.
It all works like this:
- Connection of the flow meter on OpenSprinkler.
- Start the app and go to “Edit Options” / “Weather and Sensors”.
- Set “Sensor Type” to “Flow”.
- Set “flow rate”. This is the value of the flow meter pulse. You can find out how much an impulse is from the manufacturer of your flow meter.
- finished.
- The flow rate for the past waterings then appears in the log (menu “View logs”).

Hello, can you supply/offer or recommend a flow meter? That would be the icing on the cake.
With kind regards,

Just google for impulse water meter. Preferably one with 1L/puls
