Smart Irrigation

A maintained community fork of the Smart Irrigation Home Assistant integration — precise, evapotranspiration-based irrigation scheduling

Lovelace card (for non-admin users)

Main page: Usage

The Smart Irrigation panel in the sidebar is admin-only. To give non-admin household members an everyday view, the integration also ships a Lovelace card that mirrors the Zones dashboard — status and manual irrigation, without any access to configuration.

Adding the card

The card is registered automatically — there is no manual resource to add. On any dashboard:

  1. Edit dashboard → Add card, search for “Smart Irrigation Zones”, or
  2. add it as YAML:
type: custom:smart-irrigation-zones-card

If it does not appear right after updating the integration, do a hard refresh of your browser (Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-R) to clear the cached frontend.

What it shows

The card shows the same per-zone status as the dashboard — the decision, the bucket and live estimate, the next scheduled run, and the global outlook bannerwithout the settings gear, schedule links or the setup wizard. With the default actions: irrigate, only the Irrigate buttons are shown (no Update / Calculate).

Permissions

Any authenticated Home Assistant user can use the card. The status data and the manual Irrigate action are available to non-admins; configuration stays admin-only (it lives in the panel, which the card does not expose).

Options

Option Default Description
actions irrigate Which buttons to show: irrigate (status + manual Irrigate only), none (read-only status), or full (also Update / Calculate, like the admin panel).

Example — a read-only status display (e.g. for a wall tablet or a shared dashboard):

type: custom:smart-irrigation-zones-card
actions: none
