United Firmware Demo on Linux

[cremeikas]

I saw Ray mention that it was possible to run the united firmware on a random linux box in demo mode to test things out.

I’m curious if there is any documentation for this? I was able to get it built, but I’m getting some errors when running -namely:

./OpenSprinkler
shell bind error
network failed.

I feel like I’m probably missing some setup or something, but I haven’t been able to find any install docs for compiling/running the firmware from scratch.

* Sorry if this got dupplicated!

Edit1: using sudo ./OpenSprinker seems to have started it up fine. Still unsure of testing functionality etc, so would love some docs 😀

Thanks!

I compiled the 2.1.6 firmware demo last night and conneccted to it via http://IP_Address:8080. I also compiled the 2.1.7 firmware demo last night to play around with it. I had to connect to it using http://IP_Address even through the advanced options shows 8080 as the listen port.

The interface is pretty much self explanatory but https://opensprinkler.freshdesk.com/support/home has all the information you need to test it.

Thanks KSprinkler,

I ended up getting in, I think I was trying to access from the wrong port or something. I was able to get in through :80 after tracing through the code some to find the port.

I’m assuming the mobile app just ties into this through the API described in the link you posted?

The mobile app just needs to know the IP address (and port number if it’s not the default 80). Depending on the firmware version, the app enables different features (for example, features available in 2.1.7 and not in previous versions will only show up for firmware 2.1.7).

Perfect, thanks guys
