@Peter Awesome, good work!
I’m noticing this switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit too. Usually the first time I open up the OpenSprinkler webUI, it’ll show Fahrenheit. Any refresh of the browser will revert it to Celsius. Only allowing enough time to trigger the “first visit” again will it show Fahrenheit.
Here’s what the debugger is outputting for the above requested info.
navigator.language = en_us
ismetric = true
currentCoordinates = Array [ 45.4888, -122.80133 ]Hi Ray,
I appreciate the update, hard work and humbleness in your response. I’m fairly new to OpenSprinkler, having only been a user for about a year. Unfortunately, my timing coincided with the weather adjustment changes.
What I noticed when setting a sprinkler run time early in the morning with weather adjustment, the watering times were very close to zero. Even when the day may have been very hot and humid. I found that the weather adjustment would really only provide ample adjustment (up and down) if run time was at or near the highest heat portion of the day.
What can we expect moving forward with this new “rolling window” method? Can you outline an example of how to set watering times so that watering is actually adjusted up and down when needed? Thanks!
New to OpenSprinkler and just had my first somewhat successful weather adjustment with the Zimmerman option enabled. I have noticed the same thing. Last night before heading to bed, the water percentage on the home screen was at 111%. I thought, good, it’s hotter that usual lately so it’ll be nice that the watering times will increase automatically. But this morning it was down to 24% and my morning program only ran for a couple minutes, instead of the 20 minutes it was programmed for. Our high was around 90 with a low in the mid 50s. So it appeared that the adjustment was at the time the program ran, which based it off of the low temp.
To get around this, I would need to do one of the following:
– set the program to run in the evening so it adjusts based on the high temp of the day
– adjust the zimmerman option for a lower baseline temp
– adjust the program sprinkler times to something outrageous like 2 hours(if I wanted a 10-20 minute watering time).Am I understanding that correctly?
Another tip I figured out on this. I was seeing that under the diagnostics display, I was getting no last successful last weather calls. This ended up being an issue with the manual location selection under options. I had previously entered my city, selected it and then manually moved the pin to where I lived. After just selecting my city and leaving it there, I’m now seeing weather percentage adjustments on the home screen as well as successful weather calls.
Thanks Ray, I appreciate the response. Will it take a day or two to adjust? I’m seeing that the default value is 70F and we have been in the high 80s and low 90s the last couple of days.
I know I’m late to the party on this, but I had the same issue with an RPI3 and the 16 relay sainsmart board. I read that others were having the same issue apart from OpenSprinkler and solved it by connecting the 3.3v gpio pins instead of the 5v pins on the RPI3. I tried it out and it worked. And in my case, the PI3 is being powered from the 3.3v pins, so only the 24vac and 12v dc psu needed.
Is simply setting the Zimmerman option and enabling water adjustment on the program enough to trigger an actual adjustment? Program kicked off this morning, but there were no adjustments in time from the logs.
