Weather Sensor

A weather sensor is not required for the ESP-LXME controller, but
it can increase functionality by allowing you to prevent or pause
irrigation based on changing weather conditions.
The ESP-LXME supports one local weather sensor, via a wireless or
wired connection to the LXME Controller base module.

Local Weather Sensor Types

Five types of local weather sensors are supported:
Type
Rain
Wind
Freeze
Soil Moisture
Custom Pause
Custom Prevent

Custom Pause Sensors

When a weather condition becomes true, a Custom Pause sensor will
stop irrigation and also stop the irrigation timer. When the condition
becomes false again, irrigation will start exactly where it left off. For
example, if a station is set to irrigate for 20 minutes but is shut down
by a Pause sensor after only 5 minutes; when the weather condition
becomes false again and after Resume, that station will receive the full
remaining 15 minutes of irrigation left on the timer.

Custom Prevent Sensors

When a weather condition becomes true, a Custom Prevent sensor
will stop irrigation but allow the irrigation timer to continue to run.
When the condition becomes false again, irrigation will resume at the
same time had the weather condition never occurred. For example, if
a station is set to irrigate for 20 minutes but is shut down by a Prevent
sensor after only 5 minutes, if the condition becomes false again after
10 minutes then that station will only receive the remaining 5 minutes
of irrigation left on the timer.
