I am looking for a simple way to trigger a zone from another PC on the same network. A python script would be great but it doesn’t have to be python. I have looked at a few more complex pieces of code but got lost in the code so am looking for a really simple example to get started with. I don’t need feedback to know if an error happened but if it was available I might use it somehow. This is the application – I have a creek pump that supplies water and to get it started the first time I need to go to the pump, which is some distance from the controller, and make sure it is primed. This requires that I start it, perhaps more than once, until it creates pressure. So I want to be able to trigger a zone for 1 minute. The pump is out of wifi range so I can’t use the web interface directly but I have other ways of running scripts on a linux box on the same network.
See the API manual

/cm?pw=xxx&sid=x&en=x&t=xRequest the url to turn on station. Maybe even a simple bash script using wget?
Don’t forget password in URL needs to be MD5 hashed.That helps but I don’t have a lot of programming experience so I mostly hack up others code. 🙂 Any simple examples that would get me started?
I found this:
https://github.com/poblabs/OpenSprinkler-Push-Notifications/blob/master/ospi_push_notifications.pyIt is more complex than I need but looks usable as a guide for some of the syntax and such like.
Well the part to turn on zone would be something like:-
wget http://opensprinkleripaddress/cm?pw=md5pw&sid=zone&en=1&t=60With the python you linked you could modify the url in urllib2.urlopen to turn on the zone
