I believe this program to be unsafe as is. It has bugs which can activate a large number of valves and cause electrical problems, in theory including fire.

Hi djMax,

Could you elaborate on this. Where do you think the bugs are that could allow this?
Also Ray has done some great work on the electronics on both the standard OpenSprinkler and the OpenSprinkler Pi. Is there something on these that has been missed that would cause a fire if you did try to open too many valves at once?

Making a claim like that as a single comment without any further info will likely get a lot of people quite defensive too (myself included, but of course I want to know about it if you have found a problem).
