soil moisture measurement

[4irm]

Hi there,

I do have an underground irrigation which is for non lawn very common because you can safe up to 70% of water...there are several brands such as Gardena micro-drip, hunter, rainbrid etc.

Therefore I do have a question; does the irrigation calculation also works for that use case - or just lawn and beds?

Secondly - and maybe related to the question above - wouldn't make a soil moisture sensor make sense?

Thanks!

not sure I understand what is an underground irrigation system - do you have a picture or a link where I can read more before answering that question?

Soil moisture sensors don't make sense - see here why: #456 (comment)

Thanks for your feedback...

Gardena Microdrip:

So basically underground irrigation, together with a soil moisture sensor the right amount of water could be calculated.

Thanks!

You can apply the integration to this no problem. You can't use a soil moisture sensor with this integration and you don't need one.
