We sell a USB adapter that you can use to power the WiFi adapter from OpenSprinkler’s USB port:

you can also buy this from Amazon. But the flexible one that Oasiz37 linked to is more convenient.

The reason OpenSprinkler still uses the USB B female connector is that the enclosure is made to fit this type of connector. We could have switched to use microUSB but that would require a re-make of the enclosure. Keep in mind that OpenSprinkler originated from an Arduino-based sprinkler controller, and even now Arduino still uses the same USB connector.

We are currently away till Monday July 21. Orders placed during this time will be shipped on Tuesday July 22. Thank you for your understanding!
