Tell me your first wish for the year about Imolaza

Wayne Phillips Hey Wayne, thanks for putting this out, we are actually working on it. We will inform you then.

Imolaza Great thank you the response! I cannot wait for this functionality!! 🙂

My ideas for this product:

I'm a heavy smart home user who likes to use home automation devices like Home Assistant, Hubitat or Homeseers. I would really love to see an integration with Home Assistant or Hubitat.
I would love to see status on Water Flow sensors and better detection on various problems with the system so I can get alert to see what's the problem with the system. More alerting to help us to diagnose if something goes wrong.
Display screen on the controller box similar to rainmachine.

That's all I can think about the system. I would add more if I do have more in my mind after using it more often.

@"Brian Kelly"#p574Hey Brian, you'll get everything you want, except for that display screen, lol.
We actually don't have that development plan, and we don't foresee it happening. Your phone is already the best display screen.

That’s awesome. I am fine without display screen since I can add imolaza to home assistant for display on my tablet if it’s available.

Just wondering… will it have a feature where it can connect to our own weather station as one of stations to collect and analyze among other weather stations already in the database for better weather accuracy?

Also, is the app the only one that we can monitor and control the system? Does it have any web interface where I can see it on the website on my computer?

Thank you for your help

Brian Kelly Connecting to a personal weather station is not available for now, we are striving to cooperate with reliable weather providers. The web interface is in the good-to-have schedule, we get plenty of more important stuff though.

want to connect to my water meter so I know how much water I am using or if I have a leak. Wireless connection is preferred since it is messy pulling wires. My water pressure changes a lot so it would help to know how much water was actually going on my yard.

Imolaza

Jonathan That is where we are putting in our efforts.

As a new user I am not familiar with all the advanced features. My old rainbird had a "water saving" mode where I can reduce all my existing timings by a certain percentage. I can set to 75% and it will keep all the existing settings but reduce to this set percentage. I am trying to reverse engineer and calculate all the variables such as depletion rate and root depth to find out how to reduce the watering time set by the weather genius. I like the weather genius ratio's but think they are still putting a little too much water on my yard. I would like a quick way to reduce the amount of water in my schedules similar to the way I did on my ancient rainbird controller. Thanks for your excellent support.

Imolaza

Jonathan The smart irrigation plan controls the amount of watering by adjusting the frequency of watering. On days when more watering is needed, such as during hot seasons, watering will be more frequent. In seasons with lower temperatures, the interval between two watering times will be longer. In fact, this is even smarter and more objective than the functionality you mentioned with Rain Bird.

I would like to see something between the two extremes of fully automatic and completely fixed schedules. Specifically, I would like to have a "fixed" schedule that varies with the season. For example, I might water every day during the summer, every other day during the fall, and maybe once a week in the winter, each for possibly different durations. I replaced a Blue Spray controller with this one and that is a feature that I miss. Sometimes, I don't want my sprinkler controller to be smarter than I am!

Imolaza

Mark Hi Mark, if you're referring to seasonal adjustment, rest assured that we're already working on it.

Mark Sounds fair enough
