[OBSOLETE] Smart Sprinkler System

[anienhuis (Aaron Nienhuis)]

I’ve created an ESP8266 based port of this Smart Sprinkler project that does not require the ThinkShield. Since the ESP8266 is Wifi capable, it can communicate directly with the SmartThings hub over the local LAN. The project is on github and contains source for the SmartApps, Device Handlers, and ESP8266 firmware.

I’m not a developer, so the code could use a lot of cleanup. However, it’s been keeping my lawn green for the last couple weeks! Would love to hear your comments and suggestions for improvements. I’ve also created a new thread with additional details.

[OBSOLETE] ESP8266 Smart Sprinkler System

Do you want a Smart Sprinkler controller that is integrated with SmartThings but won’t break the bank? Are you looking for a DIY Smart Sprinkler that doesn’t require an Arduino and SmartThings Shield? If so, this may be what you’re looking for. I’ve created an ESP8266 based Smart Sprinkler based on the Smart Sprinkler project written by Stan Dotson and Matthew Nichols. Rather than using an Arduino with a SmartThings Shield, the ESP8266 is WIFI capable and communicates directly to your SmartThings hub over the local LAN. The entire project is on github and consists of two SmartApps, two Device Types, and the firmware source and binaries for the ESP8266 microprocessor. Additional details and high level instructions are in the Readme. Project highlights include: A SmartApp that d…
