Scottsh, have you updated this plugin at all or done any testing with the new 2.1.2 software?

I’ll have to wait for a tutorial on how to try this out on my OSPi.

An idea for the future- you could add a feature that compares WU and Yahoo against one another to get more confidence in the chance of rain.

I needed access to the 5V GPIO so I disconnected it and I am powering the RaspPi through its micro USB port.

How did you do this?

eecyclone ,

This could be the same problem Captn Avenger reported. Your reports provides a valuable clue about the possible cause.

Thanks.

Also if it helps, the program preview was not doing this until I updated to 2.0.1. The programs were showing up fine in 2.0.0. My program preview issue with 2.0.0 was with sequencing (if I set programs 1, 2, and 3 to run on the same day, they would all show as running at the same time) However, sequencing in program preview is fixed with 2.0.1. I did a little bit of testing, and when I have the interval set to start in 1, or 2 days, the program preview does not display. It is only able to be previewed when the interval start in setting is set to be starting in 0 days. Let me know if you need me to explain what works and doesn’t work more clearly.

I have a 3 day cycle with program 1 set to run on day 1, program 2 on day 2, and program 3 on day 3. The log shows that program 1 ran yesterday morning and program 2 ran this morning. However, the timeline shows program 2 running tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, and so on… The mobile app shows the program preview as cycling correctly through the 3 programs every 3 days. I don’t have any ideas why this would be but I wanted to report the issue.

[eecyclone]

Do you have any updates on using this with the new 2.0 software?

Thanks!

[eecyclone]

Yes, sequential is checked under station handling in the options.

Here is what I am seeing when I look on my open sprinkler page. Is this not correct or what will actually happen?

[eecyclone]

I think there is an issue with this too. I have
zone 1 starting at 4:00 AM, run for 15 minutes, with a 1439 minute interval, off at 8:00 AM (program 1)
zone 2 starting at 4:01 AM, run for 30 minutes, with a 1439 minute interval, off at 8:00 AM (program 2)
zone 3 starting at 4:03 AM, run for 20 minutes, with a 1439 minute interval, off at 6:00 AM (program 3)
zone 4 starting at 4:03 AM, run for 20 minutes, with a 1439 minute interval, off at 6:00 AM (program 3)
When looking at the program preview, these programs show up as all overlapping, except for program 3 which shows zone 3 running then zone 4. I thought that the zones and programs were both supposed to run sequentially?

Ideally I think I should be able to set them all to wtart at 4:00 AM and the software would determine which zone to run first and to run them sequentially. It could even be “smart” and look to see if zone 3 and 4 need to be off earlier than zones 1 and 2 (don’t like to run zones while dog is in the yard), then it could actually start with zone 3, then 4, then 1, then 2.

I am getting an internal server error when I try to navigate to the http:///auto website. Any ideas?

Also, how soon will you be making this available as a pure plugin? I would like to try it out in addition to interval 2.0 that was released yesterday.

[eecyclone]

Congrats on your program and thanks to you and all others that have contributed to it!

I just got my OSPi running on my desk and have updated to version 2.0. I love the new look of the web interface! Now I just need to actually install it in my garage and start using the OSPi for real! I’m looking forward to future add ons and other improvements.
