How to configure a supplementary temperature or humidity soil sensor

[RogerS-68]

Hello I am configuring irrigation v5, and I do not find where to configure the probes or sensors of temperatures and soil humidity that I would like to irrigate. Is it possible? Thank you in advance

Hi there are two options to use:

1. the rain sensor - this provides a binary option to stop watering when it is turned on.
2. the adjustment sensor - this provides the ability to apply a factor, the factor is multiplied against the watering time to increase or reduce the watering as required, e.g. a value of 0 would result in no watering, 0.8 would reduce the time be 20% and 1.1 would increase the time by 10%. This is applied at the start of the watering cycle and does not update until the end of the cycle.

You can define these as template sensors using any information available to you.

Sorry but would you have an example under the elbow for this proposal ?

"You can define these as template sensors using any information available to you".

Thank you infinitely

You can create a template sensor like this;

{% if states('sensor.temperature') | float(0) > 30 %}
  1.1
{% else %}
  1.0
{% endif %}

If you use the result of this in the adjustment sensor it will water 10% more when the temperature is over 30 degrees.
