Try deleting “sequentel” in the setting of the channels.
In german: Den Haken bei “fortlaufend” rausnehmen, dann sollte es gehen. Dann macht er nicht fortlaufend, sondern parallel.
Another idea is to make notes for every station, e.g. for the calculation of the run time/needed water amount etc.
One more Thing about flow meters: Instead of watering a special amount of time (like now), it would be useful to run opensprinkler a special amount of water (depending from flow meter). Most plants/lawn need a special amount of water. The time of irrigation is not important. At the moment we have to calculate the amount of water depending on time. If we could adjust the amount of water directly it would be easier.
Thank you Ray for the very fast answer! At the moment I have no spare station, but i have already thought about getting an os zone expander. This is one more reason to buy one.
Any thoughts about 24V directly on a valve whitch is also connected on a valve port ? The reason is i can mount a seperate switch for the main valve to open it without the use of opensprinkler app.
I agree with the ultimate idea “historical rain” from wokkeltje and it would be great if it can be done by weather script or something like this in 2.1.6. I have irrigation lines which are opened only 1 Day a week. If there was enough precipitation in the week it is not necessary to open the line.
First: What a great product !! This is my first post.
4) Please consider that flow meters have different units. For example here in europe usually there are flow meters with reed switches showing 1 Liter/Pulse, 10 Liter/Pulse, 100 Liter/Pulse (my has 10 Liters/Pulse).
And I have one idea for the main valve. At the moment I can not open the main valve alone, but that would be useful: I have water sockets on my main line where i can attach hoses. To use the hose the main valve must be open, but all other valves can be closed. That would be useful also for checking if the main line is under full pressure ok and there are no leaks. The solution could be to open the main valve on the main screen like every other valve for a amount of time. That would be good so it will be closed later and is not forgotten to close.
Finally one question: Is it possible to give 24V directly parallel to the main valve even when it is not opened by opensprinkler ? Or could that damage oopensprinkler because it is getting 24V on a valve port ? I am asking this to bypass opensprinkler to open the main valve for the mentioned water sockets/hoses. Or is there any other solution to open the main valve alone ?
