I'm trying to automate my sprinkler system which is a stand alone system. I'm just toggling power to the unit based on a weather device's percent chance of rain notification. I don't know how often or how reliable the 100 percent rain in the future is, maybe look in the past for 100 percent and look in the future for greater than 70 percent.
well, I have these conditions devices that say rain, so maybe I should just trigger off of these. although, it said rain all day today but it never rained, but it did rain last night, and maybe it didn't stop raining till after midnight, so maybe technically it's correct anyways.
Condition 0 today
Condition 1 tomorrow
Condition 2 next day
Alright so if any of these say rain I could just turn the device off. How do I have an event look at these three days in the past for rain? How would you check 'yesterday and day before yesterday for rain status?
I do have precipitation percentage devices same as above, so the original plan could still work with the above 70 percent as the above mentioned devices are saying rain with a 30 percent chance. Maybe after it actually starts raining, it goes to 100 percent I don't know. So I need a way to check the past three days for 100 percent rain. Ideas?
