    I’m working on slowly migrating my network over to IPv6. Obviously, this is going to take years to do. But I was wondering if there are any future plans on implementing IPv6 with the version 2 firmware? Is it something that would even be possible?

    I think this is possible. OpenSprinkler uses Microchip’s ENC28J60 Ethernet controller, which is one of the lowest cost Ethernet controller. It does not have hardware Tcp/Ip stack, so the downside is that the stack has to be implemented in software. But with respect to IPv6, this is also the advantage: that is, it’s just a matter of changing the software to incorporate IPv6. I’ve seen a couple of online posts that discuss this. Google ‘ENC28J60 IPv6’ to see related posts.
