What is http syntax for MD5 hashed password?

[williams2353]

I upgraded from 2.1 to 2.3, with firmware 2.1.6. I use the unit with a Micasaverde system, which sends http commands to activate the zone valves. With the 2.1 system, the command looked like this:

http://192.168.1.28/sn2=1&t=1800

This command is not working with the new 2.3 unit, it returns result 32.

Using the API manual for 2.1.5 (couldn’t find one for 2.1.6), the command should be

http://192.168.1.28/cm?pw=xxx&sid=2&t=1800

My problem is I can’t figure out what to put in the password field “xxx”. I don’t know what an MD5 hash is – found this MD5 Hash Generator which returns a 32 character string form my password. Is this what I should put in for “xxx”? I tried both my actual password and this 32 character string, both return result 2.

What is the correct syntax for this http command? Can you please include an actual example?

THanks,

If your password is abc, just put it in the MD5 hash generator, and the output, which is always a 32-character string, is the hashed password. For example, the OpenSprinkler default password is opendoor, so in the command you simply use:
pw=a6d82bced638de3def1e9bbb4983225c
where a6d82bced638de3def1e9bbb4983225c is the MD5 hash of opendoor.

Thanks Ray, that worked (after I noticed that the sid is 1 less than the zone number 🙂 ).
