Integrating “Hunter” Irrigation System into Smart Home on iRidi
Project, integrating “Hunter” irrigation system into a smart home system in a country house.
Task:
The customer had a working Hunter irrigation system. But its functions were limited. It had no remote control or flexible functions. The main task was integration with a completed project where it was impossible to install soil humidity sensor.
Solution:
An addition was created based on HDL relay M/R16.10.1, iRidi Pro Server and thei3Pro interface. It does not replace the original Hunter control system, but adds to it a capability to switch between controlling from a Hunter controller and Smart Home system.
Key Features:
- Dual control: stable work with an option to switch between Hunter controller and smart home system.
- Flexible scheduling:
– Start time settings (morning/evening);
– Selection of active zones for each schedule;
– Enabling/disabling schedules. - Manual control: Start any irrigation zone with a countdown timer.
- Flexible scheduling:
– setting start time (morning/evening);
– selection of active zones for each schedule;
– turning on/off schedules. - Manual control: start of any irrigation zone with a countdown timer.
- Smart irrigation: work is based on data from:
– rain sensor;
– weather forecast (precipitation probability);
– “weather memory” (considering rainfall over the last 24 hours);
– minimum temperature threshold. - Monitoring and notifications: Tracking irrigation status and logging all events by zones into a database.
The project is noteworthy due to the solution of a complicated problem without great interference into an existing infrastructure. Thought it was impossible to install soil humidity sensors, an economical and effective irrigation systems, based on weather conditions, was realized.
