adminAdministratorIf there is no more power but the solenoid valve does not close, then it is either dirty or defective. Sometimes you just have to vent, for example if air has gotten into the line and is now “hanging” in the valve.
adminAdministratorThe firmware is also available for OSPi. Simply run the update script (with sudo) – export the config first!
The following rules apply to the new group function:
– within a group (same letter) everything runs sequentially
– Outside the groups (different letters) everything runs parallel
– Group P always runs in parallel
So you only need to set 1 + 2 in group A and 3 + 4 in group B.
adminAdministratorYou can install home assistant on the same Raspberry Pi.
adminAdministrator“PowerOn” is for the OpenSprinkler like switching off/on, i.e. restarting due to power loss.
Did you connect something to the sensor inputs or to GND/5V?
Or possibly a short to COM and a zone?
Can you measure the power supply voltage to see whether it is and remains constant (measure voltage for 5 minutes)?
If everything is no, please contact support: https://opensprinklershop.de/support and refer to it here. We may need to swap the power board (that has the voltage converter)
adminAdministratorIn my experience, it's the environment. Even if you haven't changed anything, other WLANs have probably developed around you, which are now reducing the range.
Unfortunately, this WiFi contamination is increasing and the only thing you can do about it is try even harder: With your own WiFi repeater.
adminAdministratorYou have to export your configuration and send it to me so that we can take a look.
adminAdministratorHave a look here in the forum under “Trick No. 6”
adminAdministratorYou can see the results of DWD and OpenSprinkler compare:
The call is made via the Bright Sky service.
https://api.brightsky.dev/weather?lat=<LAT>&lon=<LON>&date=<DATUM-TSTUNDE>Go to Google Maps and right click on your house. The coordinates appear, which can be copied to the clipboard with a click.
You now enter these two values for lat and lon. The date is today's date minus one day. Hour after the T. It looks like this:
So 13.02.2023 8:30am is 2023-02-12T08https://api.brightsky.dev/weather?lat=49.445997919488484&lon=8.575522199246443&date=2023-02-12T08
A list with the weather measurement data then appears. Below “precipitation” is the rain reading
adminAdministratorHave you seen that the new firmware update now also supports group formation?
adminAdministratorOpenSprinkler always asks the weather providers for the weather of the last 24 hours. Most then provide slots for 1 hour with the weather data.
The weather display in the APP has nothing to do with the irrigation control. Only what is written under "Diagnosis" is decisive.
In my opinion, the main problem is that the weather is only called up every 4 hours. If it has just rained for 3,5 hours and is still raining, this is often not recognized.
Therefore, in the latest firmware 111, I have installed the weather call to 1 minute before the next planned program start (if the last weather call is older than 30 minutes)
adminAdministratorBy the way, this only works with time-controlled execution, not with manual execution
adminAdministratorHallo,
The data sheet says "Output power DC 4,7 V", which probably means that it switches the signal cable to PLUS.
Unfortunately, this does not work, the pulse counters must connect GND to the sensor input.
So there is always an impulse when GND+SENSOR is connected
adminAdministratorOur server is connected to the Vodafone Network and they made some maintenance in the last days.
It's working now...
adminAdministratorIt would be more interesting to know what you have set in the sensors settings
adminAdministratorThen I recommend a firmware update
