I guess I assumed (incorrectly) that the May 4 update was the new one that enabled the new UI to work with the mobile app. Is this not an official release — viewtopic.php?f=28&t=499 ? Or am I mixing the two?

Last night I was using the old interface and version 1.8.3. This morning I switched to the new interface which shows 1.9.0 (did this via the “git checkout JM_UI” command. I can manually turn on sprinklers via my computer but am unable to from the native app on my iPhone or iPad. From those devices I can access and see everything just fine – just can’t turn on/off a zone. When I turn on a zone via the computer, I can see that it’s running on my iPad, but again…can’t take action? Thoughts? Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I don’t intend to run them both – just want to have them both installed to take a close-up look at the settings, options, etc. I’ll likely go with the interval program – particularly if I can get the native mobile app to work. Right now it can’t find it, even though I can find it from my Mac’s browser.

I’m very close – thanks guys!

Thanks Dan. If I have sprinkler_pi running on 8080, can interval be config’d to work on a different port?

Thanks, I’ll give that a try. Can I apply the pre-configured OSPi SD card image to the NOOBS image after I’ve completed the NOOBS setup?

One more question – I have 9 sprinkler zones and thus have the extension board connected to my OSPi. When I access the OSPi through the browser, only stations 1-8 are shown. Is there configuration required to make the next block accessible?

Thanks again for your help. I clearly have a lot to learn.

Thanks for the quick response. Is it possible to boot up Raspbian after OSPi boots? If possible, I’d like to have a small touch screen LCD in my garage with the OSPi/RPi that I could open a browser and control from there rather than using my computer in the house or a smartphone. I’d still use both of those, but the screen would allow for quick adjustments and also make it easier for the landscaping company to access when needed.

Again, thanks for getting me over that hump. I’m now exploring!
