Great product ! A few questions :-)

[rjalex]

Thanks a lot. Received the unit very fast ! Assembled the unit a TP-Link wifi adatper and the power in a sealed box and I’m now playing with it after so little time ! 🙂

I have a few questions:

a) I need to open the box to install a 2GB microsd to activate the log ? Not sure if I’ve seen instruction on how to open the box and am afraid of ruining it 🙂 The bottom of the OS box is screwed to my larger waterproof box. Help please 🙂

b) I’ve ordered those little blue blobs to protect from lightning. Instructions on how to use them ? EDIT -> Found the picture (but need reply to a 🙂 ) http://rayshobby.net/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/IMG_2260.jpg

c) I have received the unit with FW 2.0.5. Where is a change log to 2.0.6 ? EDIT -> Found ! viewtopic.php?f=2&t=692
c bis) Instructions on how to upgrade on a Mac or Linux box ? EDIT -> http://rayshobby.net/?p=8422#updater
c ter) How do I know which HW version I have ?

d) I do not understand how to use the Weather button. It does not seem to do anything,

Thanks a lot

PS Is there a google maps or something with the geolocation of the users ?

There are four screws at the back of the controller. Just unscrew them and you can open the box. If you’ve mounted it to your waterproof box, you need to unmount it first, in order to access the back of the controller.

b) I’ve ordered those little blue blobs to protect from lightning. Instructions on how to use them ? EDIT -> Found the picture (but need reply to a 🙂 )

Assuming you have the fully assembled OpenSprinkler, you do not need these MOVs — the fully assembled OpenSprinkler has built-in TVS, which are similar to the MOVs.

c ter) How do I know which HW version I have ?

Open a browser, type in the controller’s IP address, and you should see the homepage. The first line of text on the home page specifies the firmware version.

d) I do not understand how to use the Weather button. It does not seem to do anything,

The weather button should open a new page that shows the WUnderground weather report. It doesn’t do anything yet, just to show weather for your information.

Sorry maybe my English was confusing. I meant to know the Hardware version. Maybe 2.1u ??

Not sure I understand. When I click Weather nothing at all happens. Might it be a problem since I’m using Safari on a Mavericks Mac ? Or might it be because my location “Rome, IT” not being USA is not found ??

Thank you very much.
