Your moisture sensor can help to turn off automated watering (using it's inbuilt moisture threshold settings), or run a manual start - but it cannot start scheduled watering for you.
To set up manual watering there's some 'pre work' for the moisture sensor - as it needs to get above the threshold you plan to use before it can get going. So in this example we'll need to start out above the 65% mark to achieve the action from the sensor.
I'd recommend that this automation is best set up after a scheduled watering (where the moisture is already over 65% - or your set threshold).
From the home page in Holman Home, select 'Scene' (bottom middle), and then tap the + at the top right of the page.
- Create Scene / A Device status changes
- Select the WX1, select Soil Moisture
- Set the threshold
This will water when the moisture falls below the threshold, but you may wish to set a time for this to happen - you skip to the next section if you don't want to allocate a time.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note: If you wish to set a time for this to occur follow the steps below
- Tap "When an condition is met" underneath 'If' and select "When all conditions are met"
- Then tap the + to the right of 'If'
- Select Schedule
- Set the repeat for each day (otherwise this will run once only)
- Select a time of day for this to be an occurrence (so you can then make sure watering isn't in the middle of the day - but is at 4pm for plant recovery for example)
- Next (top right)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Tap the + beside 'Then'
- Select Run the device / select the WX1
- Select Manual Watering Setting (Mins)
- Set the manual watering minutes
- Select Manual Watering
- Select On
To add a notification to this scene
- Tap the + beside 'Then'
- Select 'Send notification'
- Select 'Message Center'
- Save and use your automation
Here's what the automation looks like:
