calculation with own rain sensor not accurate? #359
Comments
OWM is notoriously inaccurate depending on where you live. Use your local weather service or use a weather station. |
as i told you, i have a problem with the calculatin with my own weather station (not OWM). rain was 4.2 mm. bucket was calcualated . The question is, why? |
hard to say. There are so many factors that go into this: wind speed, temperature, solar radiation, soil drainage, etc etc etc. Rain does not just equal into Bucket changes. If that was the case we didn't need this integration at all. Are the numbers in the json you pasted above correct (keeping in mind they are all in metric)? If so, then there is no bug in the integration (but maybe in the |
There is nothing to fix. Have you even read what I wrote above? |
Yes I did. It makes no sense that there is a total irrigation of 4.7 mm calculated. I think that with the own sensor instead of OWM the calculation is wrong. |
if the values in the json you pasted above make sense to you then there is no difference in logic between OWM and your own sensor. So if you're happy with what using OWM gives you then the only logical conclusion is that the amount of rain reported by your weather station is off. |
I'm not happy with OWM so i want to use the accurate sensor of my rain station. as i told you and you can see the problem in my screenshots. The calculation with the value of my weather station ist not correct. |
Have you checked the values in the json? Do they make sense to you? If not, let me know what does not make sense to at least stand a chance to find bugs. Keep in mind that I don't see any issues on my side nor in 400 other installations... |
You also have pyeto set to forecast days = 2 |
What happened?
yesterday we had 4,3 mm rain during the day. Smart irrigation calculated a bucket of -0,37 or 22s for my area. The day before there was rain of 0,1 mm with a calculated bucket of -0.1 or 6s. Ther weather conditions were similar.
My rain sensor is netatmo (daily rain)
How to reproduce
try another sensor for rain instead of OWM.
