Creating Custom Sensors
You can also create custom sensors in your Hydrawise account under Sensors.
Some examples of custom sensor types are:
• A flow meter of a different size to the standard Hydrawise flow meters.
• A sensor to conform to watering restrictions which specify that zones must not water for a minimum
period of time after rain is detected.
• A sensor to start irrigation if motion is detected
To add a custom sensor type, go to Sensors and click on Add Custom Sensor Type.
Sensor Name Give the sensor a name.
Type of Sensor Choose the type of sensor.
Flow Meter
Litres per pulse- The number of litres of water expected to pass through the flow sensor per flow
meter pulse (you can get this information from your flow meter’s specifications)
Normally Open Sensor/Normally Closed Sensor
Sensor Action- Whether the sensor should cause a zone to start or stop.
Start a Zone
If the zone should start, choose the minimum number of seconds before the sensor can cause the
same zone to start again.
Stop a Zone
If the zone should stop, choose the number of seconds delay before stopping the zone, and how
long the zone should be disabled.
For example, some watering restrictions require that if rain is detected, sprinklers should not run for
at least two days.
