‘virtual zones’ sounds interesting. I guess that would also solve the issue of being able to reorder stations. That’s another thing I already looked up in the forum in the past and it seems that the easiest way to do this is rewiring the ports. That is, I have a certain logical way the hardwiring is done due to the color codes of the valve cables – and I would not like to change this color order. But for driving the irrigation system and watering the plants/flowers I would like to have a mapping from my hard wired order to something different. Sounds like ‘virtual zones’ could be this flexible software mapping.
But reordering the physical order in software is not a real issue at the moment for me. I just wanted to let you know that ‘virtual zones’ sound interesting from another perspective too.
Thanks for the help and for OpenSprinkler alltogether!
