I installed OpenSprinkler + an expansion board today. The system is working except for the expansion board. I go to add it (click the bell with the message indicator where it says “Unused Expanders Detected”) and it takes me Station Handling. I add 16 stations (I have 14) and click submit and it seems to recognize that I have 16 stations. I went to test the sprinkler system and it only ran the 8 stations that are wired to the original OpenSprinkler controller. It did not run stations 9 to 14. The message indicator also keeps popping up with the ‘Unused Expanders Detected”. What do I need to do to add the expansion board? What am I missing?
I believe this issue has been resolved via support ticket. For the record: any changes to expanders (such as adding an expander, changing its index) are effective after rebooting the controller. This is because the firmware detects expanders when it boots, and doesn’t defect any expander changes while it’s powered on.
