How do I find the mac address?

[Greenhouse23]

So newbie question here, I’m trying to set up the static IP, but I need the OpenSprinkler IP address. Where do I find that? I’m running firmware v2.0

Thanks

As a general trick, you can ping the broadcast and after a few replies check the arp cache.

ping -b 192.168.1.255

arp -a

Replace 192.168.1 with your network leaving the .255 (broadcast).

Of course, this assumes you know it’s IP.

Update: The reason you are pinging the broadcast is most devices will reply (instead of targeting one IP). If you know the OpenSprinkler IP you can use that instead.

Once the controller start, you can click on the first pushbutton (B1) and the LCD display will show the ip address assigned to it. You can also check your router’s configuration page, where there is usually a page that shows the list of all clients and ip addresses.

Your post title is ‘mac address’. That is different from ip address. OpenSprinkler’s default mac address is:
00:69:69:2D:30:00
where the last byte can be customized by using the ‘Device ID’ option.

Yeah, I meant mac address. It was a long day, haha. Thanks!
