- Originally, I had thursdays blacked out because the Yard guys come that day. It was simply blacked out via cron. I noticed in the hard summer, this was too harsh, and the lawn would dry out too much that day. Instead, I've written blackout hours into the script, so just the 8 hour window is blacked out.
- I've added day/night sensing via the LUX sensor. I also have a day trigger number (21) and a night trigger number (19). This gives a slight preference to watering at night, while still keeping the lawn safe from dryout during the daylight hours.
- I had to bump the time each valve runs to 900 and 600 seconds for the primary/secondary rows.
Some future ideas:
- Fix the ground temp probe, and if the ground is frozen, don't water.
- Maybe don't water if it's super windy? This is semi-debateable, because the high wind dries the lawn out fast.
