Announcing OpenSprinkler Unified Firmware 2.2.1(1)

[Ray]

Hi All, we have just released OpenSprinkler Unified Firmware 2.2.1(1). This is a minor revision from the previous 2.2.1(0). The release notes are on github:
https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler-Firmware/releases/tag/221(1)

Associated firmware user manual, API document, and support articles that explain the new features are all available at our support website:
https://support.opensprinkler.com

• If your controller is already on firmware 2.2.1(0), updating to this firmware will preserve all settings and programs. No re-configuration is needed.
• If your controller has an older firmware, like 2.1.9 or 2.2.0, updating to this firmware will trigger a factory reset. So make sure to export a copy of your current configurations before proceeding, to restore the settings and programs after the firmware update.

If you have any comments / suggestions / bug reports, feel free to post them here, or submit a support ticket at the support website above. Thanks!

I did submit a support ticket for this. On Hardware v3.0 – AC, before the FW update from 2.2.0(3) to 2.2.1(1), I exported the current config and saved it. I then installed the FW update that I had downloaded from here: https://raysfiles.com/os_compiled_firmware/v3.x/ I installed over the air, the OS rebooted, and went back to factory settings as expected. I logged into the OS and reset the OS to my local wifi with no issues. I am able to log into the OS, but, when I try to restore my original config, it says “Unable to import configuration”. I have also tried a previous config backup with the same result. I will wait to update my 2nd OS controller until this issue is resolved.

UPDATE: Thanks very much to Ray for working with me on this issue. Today I updated the firmware on my 2nd controller. The firmware loaded without issue. I had no problems connecting to the controller’s default AP mode & resetting the controller to my home wireless. All of that worked flawlessly.

In the last week, I had made several full backups of this controller in preparation for the firmware update reset. NONE of these backups could be uploaded to the controller: all recent backups threw the error – “Unable to import configuration”. Weirdly, I WAS able to import a backup that was over a year old…same as with the previous controller where I could restore an older backup but NOT the current backup.

What I tried: reinstalled the firmware (made no difference), rebooted the controller (made no difference), waited 15 minutes in case the controller was ‘busy’ (made no difference). Ray had suggested that perhaps the problem was the browser: I am on a desktop, Kubuntu 24.04.2 LTS and was using Mozilla Firefox v138.0 with Adblock and Privacy Badger extensions installed.

So I tried opening my controller on Google Chrome v136.0.7103.59. To my amazement, the most recent backup uploaded to the controller perfectly fine. SO, RAY WAS RIGHT: IT’S THE BROWSER, specifically Firefox apparently. I hope this information is helpful. Original helpdesk ticket here: https://openthings.freshdesk.com/support/tickets/15424
