Update message but nothing happens

Sat, 21 Oct 2023 20:43:52 +0000

Hello, I have been using OpenSprinker Node for a while now. At some point, it stopped working. I was seeing an update message for OpenSprinker, but when I clicked the update button on the OpenSprinkler Control page, nothing would happen. So I uninstalled and rebooted, but now I cannot re-install it again. It has the same behavior as the update button. When I click the install button, it looks pressed, but no pop-up like the other nodes.

EISY migration issue (failure to run)

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 15:43:46 +0000

Most of my node servers came across from my POLISY to the EISY except for two ; one of them being OpenSprinkler.

In the logs it seems to be having a sslv3 alert handshake failure. Logs attached.

Also the restore from backup did not bring back the configuration on this node server and two others. Most did.

OpenSprinkler Sample Programs

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 15:35:20 +0000

My OpenSprinkler (with extender) is on its way. I would prefer to stand on the shoulders of great men and women who have come up with programming for it!

Would you please post a (or some) standard and interesting programs or ideas for OpenSprinkler or other systems?

I also have a personal weather station and an OpenWeatherMap forecast, so I am also interested in programs that utilize recent/expected rain and/or temperature info to ratchet back or turn off the irrigation. I live in SoCal and water rates are going through the proverbial roof...

Always appreciative,

Ross

OpenSprinkler works great! Thanks!

I happen to have an OpenSprinkler I purchased a couple years ago when my EZ-Flora died. So far it has worked fine as standalone but was surprised to see it in the store here!

Since it is winter here up in Canada and cannot actually test it by watering the lawn, I can only test using the web UI response and seems to be working.

Some minor quirks I notice...

If I turn on multiple stations too quickly in a program, instead of the open sprinkler queueing them, it seems to have more than one of the stations enabled on simultaneously - sometimes I have seen a couple, other times I have seen four on at once, which is not possible to do normally and it should normally queue them to run after each prior one is finished. I have worked around this by putting a wait of 5 seconds between each station on command in ISY program.

Other thing is I named one of my stations "Front Lawn/Side Lawn" and ISY does not show this station with the "/" slash character. I think I have seen this before in other node servers but I would suggest to replace the / with whitespace or some other character depending on what the actual reason is. I fixed by renaming the station in open sprinkler without the / and then I had to remove/add the poly for ISY to see.

The good thing about having ISY integration and programs turning on the stations is I can water in different order now. Opensprinkler programs only water in order of the stations 01-08 and cannot have a program that does stations in order 03,06,01,04 for example. I actually rewired mine so it would water lawn in proper physical order.
