Why couldn’t you guys simply wire in the rachio sensor wires directly to the raspberry pi GPIO PINS? My question would be does the Rachio require the NC switch to be closed again until its ready to continue with its normal schedule?
My thoughts would be to wire the Raspberry Pi Ground PIN to SC (or VAC - ) and lets say GPIO PIN 23 to S1 on the Rachio. Run a raspberry pi Python program that opens the the NC switch on the Rachio if the Raspberry Pi detects moisture using the Xiaomi Moisture sensor. No hacky API solution required.
Thanks for such topic, it’s very actual for me these days. The situation inside my crawlspace is getting worse and worse. The level of humidity is just awful. I can hardly breathe there after entering it. And I am thinking over purchasing a quality humidity sensor in the shortest terms. Or do you think I should better do some repairs? My friend suggested me to visit this site https://crawlspaceremedy.com/crawl-space-cleaning-repair-in-everett/ and ask them for help. But what I can tell them if I don’t know what is a level of wetness inside my crawlspace yet. And what is the best moisture measurement accessory for you?
