Hey all! 😍

I Just joined the Homey family and I’m already diving into the cool stuff. I recently set up a watering system for my garden and wanted to take it to the next level with Homey. Ideally, I’m looking to automate watering for the mornings and evenings, but with a rain check – gotta be smart about that H2O, you know? 😇

Here’s my arsenal: 👉

Homey Pro (the brains of the operation!)  
Smart irrigation valves (all hooked up to Homey)  
Weather station (keeping an eye on the skies for me)  
The thing is, I’m stuck on building the perfect flow for this automation magic. Anyone out there have experience with a similar setup? Maybe a step-by-step guide or some app recommendations for configuring the flow?  
I also check this : [https://community.homey.app/t/water-floor-heating-system-that-works-well-with-hom](https://community.homey.app/t/water-floor-heating-system-that-works-well-with-homey/102873)

Thanks 🥰

Hi Deniz and welcome.

First try to use the search function of this forum👍  
I just searched for ‘irrigation’ and found this topic amongst others 😉

> Finally after a long planning (and digging) phase the lawn sprinkler irrigation system is installed and running. I have 4 valves controlled by 2 Fibaro FGS-222 ZWave devices. Everything (except for some slight zwave range issues) seem to work fine so far and i can control valves using both physical push-buttons in the garden and also via the Homey App. Now time for some automation slight_smile Any ideas , tips or tricks for a flow? In my head i am thinking a scheduled start running each valv…

I’m using Gardena gateway and wireless sprinklers using the following flow to check if the grass is wet:

and then setting a schedule:

Hi Deniz. What smart water valves have you got that work with homey?
