Deeper HomeKit Integration (One Sprinkler System with multiple zones, change sprinkler durations, etc...)

Opened this issue · 2 comments

Hi @martijndierckx

I really appreciate this plugin and all the work you have put in. Now that I have setup everything successfully, I was wondering if it would be possible to add two enhancements?

  1. Adding the option to import the sprinkler system as one system with multiple zones, as opposed to each zone being their own tile? This would help declutter systems with multiple zones and make everything a bit cleaner.

  2. Adding the option to change the sprinkler durations, for example in 5 minute intervals.

I hope this would be both possible, and plausible, for you - and the it won't be limited by the Hydrawise API! An example of what I mean can be seen in this video at the timestamp linked: https://youtu.be/aXRmxPpq07g?t=883

Thanks again!

  1. This would require a different architecture in the code. Plus not everyone would like this. But a valid question.
  2. It's not possible to change the run time over the API, so the only possibity would be to store those settings locally. But this requires some research/work. I do like the idea however.
  1. That's fair, I guess I'll have to learn to make my own Homebridge plugin to achieve this then since it is my desired configuration.
  2. I hope the research comes back positive then and that you manage to find a way to add this feature
