Rainbird Irrigation into Home Assistant & Full tutorial on Winterization

Here I add WiFi LNK module to my ESP-TM2 Rainbird Irrigation System and add the integration to Home Assistant. Once completed, I winterize the irrigation system for the coming winter.

would this work work with a 3 gallon air compressor?

Does the Home assistant integration affects the app access?

[@debsahu7801]

I think only one connection at a time to controller, so yes it should. Practically I have not had issues connecting via app while the integration is running

@@debsahu7801 Thanks! Another question, if you turn on the switch it will “open” the valve?

[@debsahu7801]

Yes! Perfect for doing image recognition and opening sprinkler valves to scare them away. Also if you have a program setup on the controller, and a valve opens, the switch is reported to be on.

@@debsahu7801 Nice! If it’s start irrigating, can you stop by turning off the switches?

[@debsahu7801]

Yes it does
