Installation
Download jar (OS independent) or exe (Windows) file from https://github.com/BITPlan/com.bitplan.sprinkler/tree/master/release
Try it out
java -jar sprinkler.jar -h
should show the available command line parameters
Configuration
A minimal configuration file "default.json" looks like this:
{
"appid": "<insert your openweathermap api key here>",
"location": { "id": 2887186 }
}
First you might want to get an appid from openweathermap. You can find the id of your nearest location with some of the geo calls of the API: https://openweathermap.org/current#geo
