Rainbird Logger

This is a simple logger for the Rainbird irrigation system. It logs the current state of the system to a sqlite database file.

Installation

Clone the repository and install the required packages:

pip install -r requirements.txt
chmod u+x run.sh

Configuration

Add a file named .env in the root directory with the following content:

RAINBIRD_IP="<IP_ADDRESS>"
RAINBIRD_PASSWORD="<PASSWORD>"
DATABASE_PATH="rainbird.sqlite3"

Usage

./run.sh

Each time the script is run, it will log the current state of the system to the database.

The database schema is as follows:

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS rainbird_data (
    datetime timestamp PRIMARY KEY,
    zone1 BOOLEAN,
    zone2 BOOLEAN,
    zone3 BOOLEAN,
    zone4 BOOLEAN,
    zone5 BOOLEAN,
    zone6 BOOLEAN,

It only stores the current irrigation state of each zone and the state of the rain sensor. The timestamp is the primary key.
