  • I use the Ecowitt moisture sensors for potted plants. Given their size, I wouldn’t recommend using them for your lawn because you have to be sure to not hit them when mowing.

    Automated irrigation systems are reasonably consistent. I moved from my lawnless apartment to a house with a backyard of grass. I left out a few empty containers across the lawn, waited for the first watering cycle, and adjusted the timings based on the distribution.




  • I’m a few versions behind, but I’m using the add-on without issue. A few things I would check if my setup failed:

    1. The wrapper has 2 major components. Make sure you’re running both of them.
    2. Slim down your config.
    3. You mentioned you have your own decoders. Double check the rtl_433 version that’s being used in the add-on to ensure everything is compatible.

    From the /r/homeassistant lurking days, I know that some other people skip the add-on in favor of using a script or another machine that proxies the data into HA. So there are a few other options in case the add-on approach doesn’t seem to be working quite right.
