Sprinkler Device
Device Category: sprinkler
The Sprinkler device represents an irrigation system designed to control water flow and monitor environmental conditions to optimize watering.
Required Channels
These channels are mandatory for the functionality of the sprinkler:
| Channel | Description | Multiple | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
valve | Controls fluid or gas valves, managing open/close states or flow rates. | No | See details |
device_information | Provides metadata about the device, including manufacturer details, model information, and operational statuses. | No | See details |
Optional Channels
These channels are optional and provide additional features:
| Channel | Description | Multiple | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
electrical_energy | Measures the total energy consumption over time, typically reported in kilowatt-hours (kWh). | No | See details |
electrical_power | Reports real-time power metrics such as voltage, current, and wattage for monitoring and diagnostics. | No | See details |
flow | Monitors the rate of fluid or air flow, typically measured in cubic meters per hour (m3/h). | No | See details |
humidity | Measures the relative humidity in the environment, reported as a percentage. | No | See details |
leak | Identifies the presence of water or other liquids to detect leaks and prevent damage. | No | See details |
pressure | Reports atmospheric or liquid pressure values, typically measured in pascals (kPa). | No | See details |
Use Case Scenarios
