ConfiguratorWith the new firmware 2.3.1(150), LoRaWan, NB-IOT and other external sensors can now also be integrated. However, the prerequisite is that they hand over their sensor data to an MQTT broker; OpenSprinkler can then subscribe to this as sensor data. The sensor is integrated with its “topic” and a text/JSON filter. The irrigation controller can then use this value. This is how it works […]

Have you reactivated your OpenSprinkler and now want to adjust the programs, but the menu is empty or cannot be opened? Then you probably gave a beta firmware version from last year. Since the OpenSprinkler app was automatically updated, it no longer matches the firmware. However, solution is quite simple, update the firmware […]
There are no clear specifications or guidelines on how to implement dynamic weather control. In principle, the OpenSprinkler is just the tool, you have to work. That means trying things out until it works. Up until now, the weather service and the “Zimmermann” or “Evapotranspiration” adaptation type were a good way to dynamically implement weather-dependent control. Due to the […]
The Waveshare instructions can be found here: https://www.waveshare.com/wiki/RS485_TO_ETH_(B) In principle, you just have to connect the Waveshare and install the software. Then set it up as follows: Start VirCom, “Device Management”, then the device should appear. Configure the device with “Edit Device”. You can freely choose the port, e.g. 502 or 8899 or completely different. Important: Firmware 2.3.0.(135) or […]
The USR-W610 has the advantage that it also comes with the right power connection for the sensors. Up to 32 sensors can be connected to a Modbus port of a USR-W610 (at maximum expansion level, a more powerful power supply may be necessary). Currently only the Truebner SMT100, the Truebner Aquaflex and the Truebner T100 are supported in the RS485 Modbus versions. […]
