Has anyone made a simple timer system example
Hi, I am new to Flowstone and trying to wrap my head around the best way to construct a 24H timer system as a way to get started with a greenhouse automation project. really a simple alarm clock example could be generalized into a 4 timer sprinkler system with multiple on's and off's per 24 hour period. I will ultimately apply some simple logic and turn relay's on and off via a Labjack i/o board which seems nicely supported or an Arduino. Anybody already gone down this road?
Thanks
Quentin

You just need to use the time module to get a real time clock to compare to.
Here's one I made earlier:

Re: Has anyone made a simple timer system example
Hello Quentin,
I have done something similiar for my home automation project via labjack U3. I do have adjustable timers to switch ON/OFF digital I/O tied to relay modules. My time of day timers are for my dog feeder and dog water valve. I created a post in the user examples "home automation project". My schematic file is there. You can download and take it apart to use what you need.

Hey thanks for the reply,
I posted this more than a year ago, right at the beginning. don't often log on or look at forums. I have been using flowstone to prototype automation interfaces for the last year now. It has been a great tool and the ruby componants/http post has given us a lot of data flexiblility. Right now trying to generalize the preset modules for automation targets/thresholds. Now if only flowstone jumped to android, it would rule the world.
Cheers,
Quentin
