# Generic irrigation devices
|
|
|
|
This plugin allows to create generic irrigation devices in nymea. Such things don't have any
|
|
functionality on their own, but allow to create a visually appealing experience when
|
|
using general purpose input and outputs, such as GPIOs.
|
|
|
|
## Set-up
|
|
|
|
First, set up a thing with generic inputs or outputs. For instance from the GPIO plugin.
|
|
When done, set up the desired generic thing and use the things settings to connect
|
|
the inputs and/or outputs accordingly.
|
|
|
|
### Example: A irrigation valve on a digital output GPIO
|
|
|
|
First, set up the GPIO to control the valve. Please refer to the documentation of the
|
|
according plugin for this. Once the valve can be controlled by nymea using the raw
|
|
GPIO toggle, set up a generic irrigation valve from this plugin and go to the settings of the
|
|
newly added generic irrigation. In there, you'll find a section for Input/Output connections
|
|
which can be used to connect the power state of this generic irrigation to the GPIO that
|
|
actually controls the valve. The valve can now be used like any other ready-made thing in nymea.
