Version 3.8 update.
Although it can't hold a candle to Michael's sprinkler plug-ins, this relatively simple package may be just enough for people like me who just want a simple scheme to run their sprinklers. Oh, and it's FREE.
Use of the package requires that you already have individual sprinkler valves ("zones") that you control via Homeseer devices. The package doesn't really care what sprinkler interface device you use, as long as turning one of the devices ON opens the valve, and turning it OFF closes the valve.
Features:
If upgrading, you'll only need the files from the scripts and html subdirectories.

Although it can't hold a candle to Michael's sprinkler plug-ins, this relatively simple package may be just enough for people like me who just want a simple scheme to run their sprinklers. Oh, and it's FREE.
Use of the package requires that you already have individual sprinkler valves ("zones") that you control via Homeseer devices. The package doesn't really care what sprinkler interface device you use, as long as turning one of the devices ON opens the valve, and turning it OFF closes the valve.
Features:
- Everything is managed from a single web page. From this page you view, set up, define, edit, and delete individual "schedules", where a schedule is a sequence of "zones" that you want to run for a particular amount of time. You list all your schedules, and edit configuration settings, or review a log of sprinkler activity.
- You can have virtually as many schedules as you want, and each schedule can have virtually as many zones as you want.
- Each schedule can include a text description that you can add. This can help you keep them all straight, where one is your "springtime schedule with shorter zon run times", another is a "new grass schedule" and another is the normal schedule you run during the summer.
- Homeseer event run times, days of week, and enable / disable are set up from the same web page.
- You can specify the name for the Homeseer Event for each schedule.
- Sprinkler schedules can be enabled or disabled via a single HS virtual device (the web page will create it), which you can turn ON (enabling sprinklers) or OFF (disabled) based on (for example) if WeatherXML says the wind is blowing too hard.
- A script interface is provided to allow skipping a schedule.
- Optionally can check local Weather Underground stations for rain, and delay scheduled sprinkler runs for a specified number of hours after rain.
- Standalone scripts included that you can incorporate into your own events to abort / cancel a running sprinkler schedule, or toggle the rain delay setting.
If upgrading, you'll only need the files from the scripts and html subdirectories.
