    Hallo!

    Gleich vorweg: ich habe OpenSprinkler noch nicht in Verwendung. Daher die vlt. etwas laienhafte Frage.

    Ich möchte zukünftig 4 Zonen ansteuern (sequentiell), will aber nur einen Bodenfeuchtsensor verbauen.
    Kann damit OpenSprinkler vernünftig umgehen?

    Nach Durchsicht diverser Anleitungen bin ich mir nämlich ehrlich gesagt nicht sicher, ob das so geht, wie ich das will.

    Meine Vorstellung:
    – Ich stelle eine gewünschte Beregnungszeit ein(z.b. Zone A von 04:00 bis 04:15 Uhr, Zone B von 04:15 bis 04:30 usw usw).
    – Hat der Boden z.b. nach 10 Minuten Beregnung die gewünschte Feuchte, stoppt die Beregnung in dieser Zone
    – der Referenzwert (in diesem Fall 10 Minuten) wird nun für die Beregnung der Zone B herangezogen
    – usw usw

    Klappt das so, wie ich mir das vorstelle? Oder würde ich für so einen Fall wirklich 4 Sensoren benötigen? Oder würdet ihr das ganz anders lösen?

    Beste Grüße
    Patrick

    Hello,

    that's no problem. Firstly, it is not the zone that is adjusted, but the programs. If all 4 zones are in one program, there is only one adjustment. However, if you want to have a separate program for each zone, then simply create 4 adjustments for each program.

    The soil moisture is processed via the “Program adjustments” function.

    You create 4 of these, each with the same sensor, but always with a different program

    Thanks for your answer.

    But that means: Even if the zone valves are activated sequentially, zone 2 is started even though zone 1 was stopped early because the ground is already moist enough?
    Just want to be on the safe side before I buy the controller :)

    As already said, the program is being adapted.
    Next to us, we have two zones 1 and 2, with a running time of Zone1 = 2 and Zone2 = 5 minutes. This corresponds to 100%
    If the soil moisture sensor only reports partial moisture and the program adjustment calculates 50%, then the program runs with Zone1 = 1 and Zone2 = 2.5 minutes
