Solar Radiation Value Source

[jbonzey]

Is it possible to utilize the hourly UV index value being supplied by Openweathermap for the radiation value under sensor groups? Right now I just have the sensor source set to “none”. It appears irrigation unlimited looks for the value to be in w/m2 etc so the uv index value (uvi) would be wrong for the calculation it’s looking for.

bottom line is I have the radiation sensor source set to none and really wondering if I figured out how to get a w/m2 value to be utilized would make a difference to my bucket evap rate overall or is the calculation irrigation unlimited is doing now without it close enough without it.

** update - I created a new sensor using a helper to take the UV index value from Openweathermap * .025 to come up with the W/m2 value. Will see how it works
