Hi to the community,
first of all: Thanks for the very nice work ... it's always astonishing what you can do with home assistant, thanks to the great community! I really appreciate that!
I would have a suggestions about your automation examples in the wiki.
In the action section you use the delay action to achieve the needed watering time. Here, I have used a timer helper, which gets the duration from the smart irrigation sensor. Once after the other actions (e.g. opening the valve), the timer is started. Another automation used the timer ending as the trigger to shut off the valve, reset the bucket, etc. Although you have to make two automations (not just a single one) you gain more safety, as the timer continues If home assistants needs to restart for some reasons (shut down, Manuel reboot, docker update, ...). With the delay action all subsequent actions won't be executed. The end could be a flood in your garden?
Automation 1 (a schedule helper is used as trigger):
Automation 2:
I hope its reasonable what I have written :D
If you have any further suggestions, please let me know :)
Greetings
