flow meter

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 at the VIN connection.

The whole thing then works like this:

  1. Connecting the flow meter to the OpenSprinkler.
  2. Start the app and go to “Edit options” / “Weather and sensors”.
  3. Set “Sensor Type” to “Flow”.
  4. Set “flow rate”. This is the value of the flow meter pulse. You can find out how much a pulse is from the manufacturer of your flow meter.
  5. complete.
  6. The flow rate for the past irrigations then appears in the log (“View logs” menu).
