Manual override on station?

[partrg]

G’day Everyone. My first post here. I’m a recent OpenSprinker convert and loving it. I use it to run my aquaponics system, both for operating ‘sprinklers’ but also to shut off pumps and lights via relays. Most of the time I run pumps on a schedule, but occasionally I need to override the schedule and run them continuously – but the manual program can only run for 18 hours max. Is there a way to run a station continuously on an over-ride setting? Cheers

What’s the running time you’d like to specify? I may be able to find a work-around for you. Because we don’t want to accidentally leave the controller on for a long time, any manual override must specify a finite run time, and because run time is specified with a 2-byte integer, the longest running time is 18 hours.

Thanks for your reply Ray. I ended up just wiring a physical switch across the rely so I can run the pumps continuously when required. Cheers
