Hi since I updated the firmware on the Raspberry Pi (OSPI) only once a year, I don't remember how to do it and can't find the instructions. How do I update to the current 174 version, which I already downloaded? Or where were the instructions again? THANKS
Hello, very simple: 1. Export configuration. 2. Connect to the console or SSH 3. INS OpenSprinkler-Change firmware directory (cd OpenSprinkler-Firmware) 4. Enter : sudo ./updater.sh 5. Update is running 6. Done. Restart Raspi if necessary
No, on Truebner RS485 adapters only work Truebner Sensors, i.e. SMT100, Aquaflex and TH100. In principle, you could OSPi-Raspi version, a USB RS-485 adapter and customized firmware make this possible. Or you can read the value with another RS-485 software and transfer it via MQTT.
On the weekend I tried the extended MQTT passwords - the UI got stuck (black screen)! I then saw the 161 - installing it also worked, but the UI still hung -> factory reset. I'm just short on time - should the 100 character tokens go with the 161?
Hello. I've been trying to get this new firmware to work in a VM. Unfortunately the installation fails because there are no GPIOs in the VM and so I get a lot of error messages. I also don't need GPIO because the valves are controlled via MQTT. Is there a way to install the latest firmware without using GPIO?
OK, but why? You could just use Homeassist and use it to control the valves. If you want to customize this, feel free to do so. The software is open source and is on Github.
“The firmware update can ONLY be carried out via WLAN (for versions lower than 2.2.0.105).” And for the versions above? How does the update over ethernet work, since the update page obv. does not work over ethernet and always exits with the message “check device key” ( hash and clear)?
Hello, thank you very much for the current APK. My tablet still has version Android 8.1.0 on it. When I open the APK, I get an error message: “An error occurred while parsing the package. “. (On my cell phone I have an indication of the accuracy of unknown apps.) Can I somehow still load the APK? Greetings, Frank.
Hello Frank, I'm afraid there's nothing more that can be done. Your tablet is too old, Android 8.1.0 is no longer supported, we're now at Android 15. That would be like trying to use Windows XP on a PC, but it doesn't work much anymore. Nevertheless, I gave it another try and adjusted the APK in the firmware folder again. Please try this version again
Hi I have the new firmware – version 2.3.0. (140) played. Only it's the same as before. ( At the OpenSprinkler ASB the batten doesn't work or is black and doesn't go any further. ) When operating from the Internet, even from a distance, everything works. Greetings, Frank.
Hi, this is not due to the firmware, but rather the app. The version has been updated in the Google Playstore and Apple Appstore, please check whether you also have the current version.
Hi Thank you. Yes, it works immediately with your cell phone. But unfortunately it shows me “not compatible” on the tablet. It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2016). Can you change something in the app so that it works like before? Greetings, Frank.
Hi I installed the new firmware 2024 – version 2.3.0 (139). It works perfectly. The only time the Batten doesn't work is when I want to change a password OpenSprinkler ASB (no response when pressed). If I set the opendoor password to a different one (for the simple version Open Sprinkler), it no longer works OpenSprinkler ASB (it is black on the side OpenSprinkler ASB and goes no further). Greetings, Frank
I'm trying to open latest firmware (174) in web browser and it's not working. I'm getting error 404 when downloading: https://ui.opensprinklershop.de/modules.json
Hi, this is not a firmware error, it's a UI App bug. Just reload the page with Ctrl+F5 and everything will work.

Can you “Truebner RS485 adapter for OpenSprinkler” also connect an “RS485 Ultrasonic Level Sensor” and have it read out?
No, on Truebner RS485 adapters only work Truebner Sensors, i.e. SMT100, Aquaflex and TH100.
In principle, you could OSPi-Raspi version, a USB RS-485 adapter and customized firmware make this possible.
Or you can read the value with another RS-485 software and transfer it via MQTT.
With http:///sg?pw=XXX
I get Sensor SMT100:
“nativedata”:11391,”data”: 13.910000,”unit”:”°C”,”
Why does nativedata have another 1 at the beginning?
This is the original value from the sensor. Truebner specified this as follows:

Thanks for the (160) and longer MQTT passwords!

Yes, above this version firmware update is also working with Ethernet LAN. “Check device key” means password is wrong.
Hello, I had to delete the old one first, then I reinstalled it and it works perfectly!!! Thanks alot !!!

Greetings, Frank.
You could, but Google is forcing developers to specify Android 11 as the minimum operating system from now on, otherwise the app will not be published in the Playstore.
https://developer.android.com/google/play/requirements/target-sdk
And I'm guessing your tablet still has Android 10
The current APK is also here: https://opensprinklershop.de/firmware/app-release.apk

True. Thanks for the info, I didn't even notice! Will be corrected in the next few days!
Nice work
Unfortunately reboot mine OpenSprinkler permanently after importing the latest firmware 2.3.0. Wifi connect -> NTP Sync -> Weather Check -> Reboot
Hi
Have you tried a reset yet?
If that doesn't help, please send it in, I'll repair the firmware for free.
Have now downgraded to beta 2.2.0.112 and OS works again.
Hi
I made a few adjustments, please test. Firmware link has been updated
