Hello everyone, my Opensprinkler 2.3 DC (2.1.7 firmware) just reboots every time I try and start a station. The station is never shown as active in the app or web page. I tried factory reset, but nothing changed. Any suggestion? Thanks a million!
This is usually a sign of a solenoid problem. Such as a shorted solenoid or a shorted wire. To diagnose, remove the common (COM) wire and see if this still happens.
Thanks a million Ray!
The controller still reboots when starting a station even if I disconnect the solenoid wires completely.
However, I got it 100% back into business by powering it not through the DC adapter, but through the USB connection (the one used for updating the firmware).
I would be glad to fix it anyway, what do you suggest I should replace?Thanks!
That’s really strange. It sounds like the power adapter is failing and cannot provide enough current. You can try a different DC power adapter. Anything that outputs a DC voltage that’s between 7.5V to 12V and can provide at least 1amp current should work.
I tried replacing the DC adapter with a new unit and everything seems to be working spotless.
So there was never anything wrong with the Opensprinkler, only with the DC power adapter!
Thanks for the precious help
