Could the « water flow » feature be added?
It’s the first one at the top left: SWV
From what I’ve seen regarding the flow rate, each manufacturer has its own name for this feature, unlike switches or other « simple » functions, for example.
On the development side, I don’t know if it’s possible, but it would be great to have a « group » where you can put all the names that will be given (I hope I’m being clear…).
I have a Sonoff SWV and here are all the states including the flow:
{
"auto_close_when_water_shortage": "ENABLE",
"battery": 48,
"current_device_status": "normal_state",
"daily_irrigation_volume": 12,
"flow": 0,
"irrigation_end_time": 1783243880,
"irrigation_start_time": 1783243462,
"last_seen": "2026-07-05T16:19:47+02:00",
"linkquality": 132,
"real_time_irrigation_duration": 600,
"real_time_irrigation_volume": 535,
"state": "OFF",
"update": {
"installed_version": 4100,
"latest_release_notes": null,
"latest_source": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Koenkk/zigbee-OTA/master/images/Sonoff/zbswv_v1.0.4.ota",
"latest_version": 4100,
"state": "idle"
}
}
On my side, I retrieve the real_time_irrigation_duration and real_time_irrigation_volume via a virtual MQTT device, but I wouldn’t say no to automatic retrieval either ![]()
Does this type of device work well? What is the purpose of the feature below?
Works great for me for automatic watering of the vegetable garden and plants, and if I have water in my tanks, I activate the pump to avoid using the urban network (with a manual bypass for the tank<>urban).
This is the volume of water (in liters) that passes in real time: very practical for adding 300 liters to the pool and automatically stopping the valve ![]()
