Lawn science is a real thing, and if you’re not in the industry, you may not be aware of the complexity and intricacies involved with keeping your yard happy and healthy, and the fact that overwatering can be just as bad as underwatering. Automatic sprinkler systems have included a rain sensor for decades, but a rain sensor only measure rain that has already happened, while new systems take forecasted rain, humidity, and sun intensity into account. Let me preface this test by saying that when switching to a smart irrigation controller I wasn’t looking for a standard timer based system with a web interface, I wanted something that I was going to do all the heavy lifting for me and determine exactly how much water my lawn needed based on things like plant and soil type, sun exposure, sprinkler design, and of course weather. There are a few special cases where you may be better off with the Rachio 3, or BHyve XR, but for the most part the ease of use, features, and value of the BHyve indoor 8 are unmatched. Like even if you just clicked on this video with no intention of upgrading your sprinkler system. Today on the hookup I’m going to give you an in depth look at these 7 smart irrigation controllers to help you choose the system to automatically calculate the perfect amount of water for your yard based on things like soil type, sun exposure, plant species, and of course weather.Īfter putting these 7 smart sprinkler systems through exhaustive testing and extensive research I feel confident saying that most people should buy the BHyve indoor. **As an Amazon Associate I earn a % of qualifying purchases at no cost to you.** It can be controlled in the sitemap by specifying the Element type of Switch and providing a mapping of: mappings=.In this video I tested 7 of the most popular smart automatic sprinkler systems from Rachio, Orbit BHyve, Scotts Gro, OpenSprinkler, Rainbird and Skydrop to find the BEST system for your needs. And, therefore the item needs to be defined with an item type of string. Therefore, the valve is defined as a having an item type of String. Smarttings includes a valve which can be Open or Closed but openHAB does not include a Valve item type. The bridge requires the IP address and port used to connect the openHAB server to the Smartthings Hub.ĭimmer KitchenLights "Kitchen lights level" The following definitions are specified in the.
This binding is an openHAB binding and uses the Bridge / Thing design with the Smartthings Hub being the Bridge and the controlled modules being the Things.
The binding will not work until this part has been completed, do not skip this part of the setup.
SMARTTHINGS OPENSPRINKLER SOFTWARE
Prior to running the binding the Smartthings hub must have the required openHAB software installed. # Discoveryĭiscovery allows openHAB to examine a binding and automatically find the Things available on that binding.ĭiscovery is supported by the Smartthings binding and is run automatically on startup. If you find a device that doesn't work follow these instructions to collect the required data so it can be added in a future release. This binding supports most of the Smartthings devices that are defined in the Smartthings Capabilities list (opens new window). This binding integrates the Samsung Smartthings Hub into openHAB.
