![]() ![]() If a station is turned on, the status will show which program it is running and the remaining water time if a station is scheduled to turn on but not running yet, the status will show the the scheduled water time. An annotated image is attached below:Īt the top are the Menu Links to other pages, the Firmware Version and Device Time, followed by a Program Preview button and the current Station Status. Open a web browser on your computer or any mobile device connected to same local network, and type in either or the IP address (for example, ). In addition, you can set the controller to ignore/bypass the web password. Web Password: for security reasons, changes to the controller settings and water schedules must go through password verification. If you encounter any issues, please check the F.A.Q. Once the controller starts, it will request an IP address from your router through either DHCP or static IP set by you. In order to use the web interface, you need to connect OpenSprinkler to your home router, using either a wired connection, or wireless via a WiFi adapter/bridge. In addition, you can remotely access and monitor your sprinkler stations online, even when you are traveling away. You can access the controller using any device that has a built-in web browser. Compared to traditional sprinkler timers, which limit you to a few buttons, dials, and a small screen, the web provides a much more intuitive user interface. The OpenSprinkler web interface allows you to program water schedules and monitor station status through the web. On the other hand, the same program interface isn’t easy to adapt to OS 3.0 - as OS 3.0 now supports up to 72 zones, that program interface isn’t really suitable for a large number of zones.Instructions of previous firmware versions have been archived here. We currently don’t plan to adapt OS firmware to OSBee, because changing the OS firmware to fit OSBee is fairly involved, and OSBee was meant to be a smaller controller for only 3 zones - in my mind it has a better program interface which is very flexible (allows you to schedule zones in any arbitrary order or in parallel). It runs the same OpenSprinkler firmware and is designed for latching valves only. ![]() The switch to OpenWeatherMap is automatic for all OpenSprinkler users - this is a change done on server, and does not require any firmware change.Ībout Netatmo: I’ve replied in another thread that we will be looking into it.Ībout OSBee: I mentioned in a different thread that we will soon be releasing a third variant of OpenSprinkler, called OpenSprinkler latch, which is in the same form factor as OpenSprinkler 3.0 but uses latching solenoid driver board. My reply here has details about specific changes in firmware 2.1.8: The reason we are still finishing up documentation is that this is the first new firmware released after what comes with OpenSprinkler 3.0 (firmware 2.1.7) so we want to make sure the firmware upgrade instructions are clear to minimize the number of potential issues. Otherwise, firmware 2.1.7 works just fine. For OpenSprinkler 3.0, we recommend upgrading to firmware 2.1.8 if there is any WiFi connection issue. The app issue you were referring to is only relevant to OSPi. Unless if you need more than 56 zones, or more than 17 programs, there is no need to upgrade to 2.1.8 for OSPi users. ![]() This firmware is primarily focused on OpenSprinkler 3.0 - the only part that’s relevant to OpenSprinkler Pi is increased maximum number of expanded zones and increased maximum number of programs. We have not officially released firmware 2.1.8 yet (still finishing up documentation). ![]()
