    This is a work in progress! , but most everything works.

    0_1487524799943_Screen Shot 2017-02-19 at 9.17.43 AM.png

    Heavy rain lately, so soil is at 100% saturation...

    This was developed with MySensor 2.1.1  https://www.mysensors.org/
    IDE 1.81
    SAMD 1.6.11
    RocketScream M0 with RFM95 radio
    

    Data from the sensor to MQTT-gateway to MQTT to (Telegraf to InFluxdb to Grafana)
    Controller function via NODE.RED connected via MQTT.

    It measures soil moisture from 1 to 4 sensors, has options for soil and air temperature.
    Support MCP9800 or Si7021 (humidity also) or temp sensor in DS3231 for air temp
    DS18B20 for soil temp
    Support of a water pressure sensor via an analog port
    Has a DS3231 Real Time clock to wake up processor at designated hour
    Has support on the board for a flow meter and pressure sensor (but no software in this code base)
    Solar, battery Powered or via 8 to 28v AC or DC
    Sleep's most of the time and just wakes up to see if its time to send a report.
    Support for requesting and receiving time of day for setting RTC
    Support for updating sensor tx schedule via V_VAR1
    (Board is designed to fit in a Hammond 1554 case)

    Sensor are made from plaster of paris (gypsum)
