I have two 3.0 controllers, each with their own fixed IP address. After a few mistakes, I got one of the controllers to operate as a remote controller. I could turn on a sprinkler on the remote controller from the main one I was controlling via the app. A couple of days later, however I seem to have lost that ability.
The remote controller still says it is configured as an Extender when I control that controller directly. And I can turn on and off zones directly on that controller. But when I go the the other controller and try to turn on a remote zone, it doesn’t work. As I said, it WAS working, but now isn’t and I don’t think I changed anything.
BTW, I don’t know if this is a known bug, but after I realized the remote function wasn’t working, I decided to create a program on the remote controller. I had each station listed as sequential. When I went to run that program, the controller turned on ALL program zones simultaneously. Needless to say this stressed the poor transformer a bit (it was reading something like 1500ma draw on the 500 ma AC transformer).
Is there any way to turn OFF Extender mode?
