I’ve started a garduino project a couple o months ago and i’m having troubles with it.
It had a moisture sensor that, if low, triggered a relay connected to a water pump untill it was at a certain level.
The measure was triggered by an alarm from Alarm library.
I believe that due to the unnacuracy of the internal time clock it almost flooded my plants.
I, then, switched to a version where i would like to call a watering function everyday and everynight with an alarm for both.
The clock i’m trying to update with the Ethernet update library.
For some reason the alarm functions are not triggering the watering.
Any thoughs?
