So I’m trying to develop an automated gardening system. I’m using ESPHome and so far so good until now. I’ve got a moisture sensor and a solenoid valve controlled by a relay on two separate ESP’s, I’ve got the automation through Hassio working correctly. Basically when the value of the moisture level falls below a certain level, the solenoid valve opens which then rewaters the whole system, and then when the moisture level gets above a certain level it shuts.
This is automated via the ‘update_interval:’ Hassio receives for the automation to work. However, I don’t need to update/publish/receive the reading every 10s when it’s freshly watered, however I cannot afford to check it every 30 minutes when it’s dry.
How could I create a dynamic update interval differs dependent on the value the sensor receives.
I’m pretty darn new at this, so I may using the ‘update_interval:’ line in an improper fashion.
Thanks!
