OSPi and Rain Sensor

[ozGremlin]

OK, am trying to get a Hunter Mini-Clik (Rain sensor) to work with my OSPi. I’m guessing from the total lack of detail on this that it really should be as easy as plugging the two wires into the rain sensor port and configuring the software.

Alas, no.

In software, I have configured the following:

• None of my stations are have “Ignore Rain” selected.
• “Use Rain Sensor” is selected.
• “Normally Open” is selected.

“No Rain Sensed” is displayed on the home screen.

Given that my Mini-Click is a normally-open sensor, could I simply use a wire between the two rain sensor terminals to emulate rain?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, am feeling quite stupid at the moment.

Cheers,
Gary

G’day Mate,

Had exactly same issue and documented solution in hardware forum.

Looks like software issue.

Cheers.

It looks like a software issue alright.

I’ll work on it.

Thanks Dan, let me know if there is any thing I can do to assist – very happy to do any testing you need.

I pushed an update to GitHub that should take care of the problem.

Note that you need to refresh the page to get the rain sensor changes to appear. You can just click the home page icon to do that.

Let me know if you are still having any problem with it.

Thanks Dan,

Works exactly as it should, in both NO/NC configurations.

I concur.

Great work Dan, and thanks for the rapid response.

It even rained today to prove that all is working!
