There seems to be some minimum flow because the tank is full and SmartPlantPi believes its out of water.
Where is this set?
Regards

Turbon,
You are FULL of questions today! But that is a good thing.
SmartPlantPi wakes up thinking the tank is empty and it only can tell it is full after the first watering cycle by measuring if there was flow.
You could change the software to wake up full, which would be a perfectly good thing to do, but then it wouldn't reset to empty until a watering cycle.
Without adding an actual water level system (a laser or ultrasonic detector hanging over the water? Might be fun to do!), the system just doesn't know the state until a watering cycle.

What I meant was that if the holes in the tubes are to small the flowsensor doesn't seem to react. Needleholes almost repairs themselves with no flow  If things doesn't seem to workthe holes might be to small. Regards |

That could absolutely be true. There is some lower limit for the flowmeter for sure.
Try it with bigger holes to see if you are right. We just used an open pipe into the plant.

I already made the modification - flow is fine now  Regards |
