Has there been any change in the status of the first question — i.e. can OpenSprinkler with v2.2.1 firmware now restart a program midway through after a power failure or reboot?
I’m guessing not — I’ve rebooted my controller and even though the current time has passed through points where a next zone should have started, nothing is happening, no zones are active.
Watering is too critical here and I can’t have it fail midway through a program, or even midway through a zone, just because the power glitched! My program is far too complex with far too many zones, and the need to regularly edit zone times, to be broken up into small intervals with fixed start times.
I _really_ need this feature too!
It seems absurd that there’s no “resume the running program” feature in a controller this sophisticated. It knows what time it is and it knows if a program should be running at the current time, and it knows what point in the current program the current time represents, so should be able to immediately restart the zone that should be running now and continue the program on from there.
The program simulation feature shows all of this information quite clearly, including the red bar for the current time.
On reboot the controller should just run the simulation of the day’s program(s) through to the current time, and if anything should be active it should simply jump in there and continue on as if nothing had happened.
