Announcing OpenSprinkler Fw. 2.2.1(7) & OpenGarage Fw. 1.2.6

This post covers firmware releases for both OpenSprinkler and OpenGarage. For details, see the blog post.

OpenSprinkler

• Firmware 2.2.1(7) is released for v3, v4 and OSPi. New features include:
  • Cycle and Soak: splits a zone’s watering into short cycles with soak breaks, to reduce runoff.
  • Onboard analog sensors (v4): read analog sensors on SN1–SN4 without a Sensor Expander.
  • CH390 Ethernet: support for a newer, smaller, lower-cost wired Ethernet controller.
  • Custom hostnames (v3/v4): open your controller by name, such as http://garden-os, instead of its IP address.
  • More reliable cloud (OTC) connections, plus other fixes.

OpenGarage

• Firmware 1.2.6 is released. New features include:
  • One-click firmware updates from the update page, after a one-time manual update to 1.2.6.
  • Smarter WiFi: picks the strongest access point on mesh networks and reconnects more reliably.
  • Works without WiFi: door sensing, the button and auto-close keep working during outages.
  • Security improvements and better Security+ support.
• Note: Blynk support has been removed. Use OpenThings Cloud (OTC) for remote access.
