A project by Stan Dotson (stan@dotson.info) and Matthew Nichols (matt@nichols.name) Would you like to have a smarter lawn? We just updated our SmartThings Project to build a Smarter Irrigation Controller. The project originally posted to the old SmartThings Build Forum. Since then, we have made…

@WestOCGreg , Have you entered time for each of the zones you wish to activate? If not, go to the sprocket in the top right of the device handler screen on your smart phone. Usually that’s the issue. Let me know.

@proone79 , Probably not as is. I am not aware of other systems that integrate Zigbee, which is the protocol used by the ThingShield and the Scheduler SmartApp would likely need modification and/or refactored in another language. There are some posts by @aacordon who ported the system onto a parti…

Hi All, I searched for the answer to this, but was not able to find anything. I followed the instructions for the 16 zone unit. I believe I have everything wired as instructed. My issue seems to be with loading the Arduino, I keep getting a message included below. What am I missing? I’ve spent…

Hi Josh, Its possible you still need to select the right board within the IDE. Go to <Tools<Board and make sure you select the Mega2560. Hope this fixes the issue.

I doubt this specific app and device handler can be ported, but the controller can be. Below is the photon code which uses HTTP GET/POST commands. You can interface with it via any method that can send GET/POST so its not limited to the smarththings interface. // This #include statement was automat…

So Since my system is working great now I wonder if we can use the same type of system to integrate into a security alarm system. I have a system that is no longer working but I have all these motion sensor and door/window sensors that go back to the main system box. If I was able to trip a relay …

I stumbled across this cool project to build a Smartthings sprinkler system but unfortunately it appears the ThingShield has been discontinued. Does anyone know of an alternative to using the ThingShield which would work with the Arduino or maybe the Raspberry Pi? Thanks.

Bunch of options out there. Here are two I like https://z-uno.z-wave.me/ http://ziy.io/

woody_seiders: Thanks for the reply, but those two devices are not available in the US. Also, the 2nd device (ZiY) apparently is on hold now.

I think it’s time for some enterprising person to make a post with all the Thing Shield alternatives in one place. Here are some links to get you started… [image] Particle Photon/Spark Core RGB WS2812B Community Created Device Types The title says it all. I have created…
