Homegate V4 irrigation

I am having difficulty getting irrigation working with schedules. I am creating a program for each season but I am unable to get thim to trigger correctly. Does anyone have a sample irrigation solution I can look at. Thanks

A few things to check :
1. Make sure the Scheduler is running
2. Make sure the irrigation schedules are enabled
3. Make sure the irrigation controller is enabled (Master Enable Group, if used)
4. Make sure all the zones have non-zero durations
5. Try manually triggering the irrigation control using a C-Bus button
6. Have a look in the log at the time the schedule is due and see what messages appear - this might give you a clue

 

Thanks for the pointers I now have irrigation working, but one issue remains.

I want to be able to select different irrigation programs from the screen using the in-built variables. I can select a different program by using the irrigation-program-name but the scheduled-time variable always shows the start time for the first program in the list. Therefore when I adjust the start-time it always changes the start-time for the first program and not the one selected.

Thanks, Dirk

 

Add the "Schedule Tools" template to your project and use it to adjust the start time of the irrigation program schedules. Does this work correctly ?

 

Thanks for all the help and advise. Irrigation and scheduling is working now.

I am using the IB variables "irrigation zone name" and "irrigation zone number" within the logic but there doesn't seem to be a way to specify the offset of the zone I need. Am I missing something here? If you use the Tool then you can select the offset but using a Get IB variable you can't specify it.

You shouldn't need to use the offset. Just set the Irrigation Zone Number to the zone you want to deal with, then you can get the Irrigation Zone Name.

If this doesn't answer your question, you will need to provide more information about what you are trying to do.
