My apologies to the Forum. I posted too soon. I figured out that the controller does not take the location settings from Dark Sky but from manual location and time zone inputs. I promise to experiment more before posting in the future.
I just received my first OpenSprinkler and set it up on my wireless network to start learning about it. Unfortunately the “Powered by Dark Sky” link at the bottom of the Forecast page takes you to a page that says “Dark Sky API”and “We are no loner accepting new signups” (https://darksky.net/dev)
The blogpost the page lists says that existing users will be supported until July 1, 2020. Afterwards all non Apple subscribers will be cut off. Typical Apple move!
It goes on to say, the API service will continue to function through the end of 2021, but will not accept new signups. It seems to be blocking my device from connecting.
Unless it is actually an hour later and 58 degrees in New Orleans today in the middle of the eye of Christobal…Excited about the firmware updates. I am hopeful that the shorter flow times will allow Open
Sprinkler to be a part of my Aeroponics project. 5 second flow is typical.
Does anyone know what sensors we can monitor and hopefully log?
I need pH, TDS, Water Temperature and flow. Possibly pressure as well.
I also need to develop code to make changes/adjustments such as open valves, turn on pumps based on readings.After lots of surfing I can’t believe I found you guys talking about exactly what I am researching.
Has anyone found a flow sensor that can sense low volumes relative quickly?
I am developing an aeroponic irrigation system and would like to be able to monitor each flow, more importantly to insure that the water was delivered, but also to keep tabs on the dosage volume. Flow is only about 5 seconds about every 4-5 minutes.
Any suggestions or direction would be greatly appreciated.
