NAME

Irrigation_Item

SYNOPSIS

Example initialization:

These are to be placed in a *.mht file in your user code directory.

First, define your actual irrigation object:

  UPB_Rain8, irrigation_controller1, 13, 1

Then, define the Irrigation_Item(s) and attach the real object:

  IRRIGATION, irrigation_controller1, morning_irrigation
  IRRIGATION, irrigation_controller1, evening_irrigation

DESCRIPTION

Irrigation Cycle controller - This is an attempt to abstract irrigation control features from the hardware specific device driver. This driver can cycle through specific zones with specified time delays (much like a generic sprinkler controller found on an existing system) This driver has been tested to work with the UPB_Rain8 driver, but should work with any other device object that can turn on/off its zones using the MH support substate syntax ( ->set(on:4);)
