How to create YOUR OWN professional Garden Watering system in Home Assistant. In this video, I share my most valuable Home Automation with you: a fully automated Garden Watering or Irrigation System that takes into account the outside temperature of the past few days, the rainfall of the past few days, and the rain forecast for the next 24 hours. It's by far the most valuable automation I've ever made in Home Assistant. I've been using this for over two years now and in that time I've made it so that it works perfectly. This video contains so much juice. I teach you about Helpers, Automations, Scripts, and how to make your own template sensors. If you use Home Assistant and want to automate your garden sprinkler to water your garden, this is a MUST-SEE tutorial for you! It will definitely blow your mind!
EXTRA:
Some people asked me what would happen if Home Assistant reboots during watering. In that case, the sprinkler would go on forever, but you can easily circumvent this. I've added some EXTRA code to the download package to prevent your sprinkler will go on forever in case of Home Assistant reboots during watering the garden.
The code for this video is no longer free to download. You can sponsor me and get the code in return. The code used in this video can be downloaded here: https://ko-fi.com/s/fe25ec0b87
