I have OSv1.3u. I finally (a year or two after buying and assembling the kit) installed it in the garage tonight and setup the programs. We’ll see how she does tomorrow morning!

Anyway, if I’m reading the reply correctly, the only symptom of a blown (shorted) line from maybe a blown solenoid is that the device will reboot????

I’m in Texas and a couple days without water in the summer can KILL a plant under stress already since it’s typically 100-105 for a couple hours. Usually not, but plants damaged by insects, disease, or new plants for sure could succumb.

Is there a simple way for me to add a fuse or is there some other indicator that a station is not working that I can use to diagnose when something bad is happening?

Thanks
