Cortexa 7202 ConfIguratIon utIlIty
We now click Edit Case. In this situation, our case is a Weather Condition. That condition is
based on Rain Fall. Since the Cortexa is collecting local weather data every fteen seconds,
not only does it know current weather conditions, it is also able to calculate historical data.
We decided our criteria to be based on 0.2” over the last three days.
We also added another case condition based on current wind speed. You will see that when
we look at the nished event.
Having established our trigger and cases, we are ready for action. The action is to water
the yard. The Action type is “Rain 8 Net”, the name of our Irrigation system. The Irrigation
module comes in 8 zone increments, each one having a unique address. The relay number
then corresponds to the irrigation zone. Here we are turning on zone 1, i.e. Address 1, Relay
1. As an example, zone 9 would be Address 2, Relay 1.
The following screenshot is the completed event. After each case statement, we selected
End Macro. End macro immediately halts the entire event, i.e. none of the actions commands
are executed. Obviously this is what we want here. If rst condition is true, i.e. the wind is
blowing at more that 15 mph, we do not want to water the yard, no matter what else is true
or false.
