14. d so anyone can help Go to the Web Interface gt Sidebar gt About page click on the link to the localization website How does OpenSprinkler s weather based adjustment work The weather based adjustment first uses your location to query Wunderground com for real time weather data available worldwide It then calculates a Watering value which is applied to all station water times The percentage value is calculated based on your local temperature humidity and precipitation rainfall and varies between 0 to 250 The value is updated every 15 minutes For example low temperature high humidity and or considerable rainfall all lead to reduced watering thus saving water usage What s the relationship between Rain Delay Rain Sensor and Weather based Adjustment Rain Delay is a manual control it stops the controller from watering for a specified amount of time Rain Sensor requires installing an external rain sensor and it stops the controller from watering when the sensor detects rain Weather based Adjustment makes use of real time data at your nearby weather stations and automatically calculates a watering percentage that combines not only information about rain but also temperature and humidity Although these three features are conceptually related they are independent See the chart below Trigger Action Delay Time Notes Stations except those that ignore Rain sensor has a built in mechanical Rain sensor rain
