    RS product code is 730-0243.

    The page says temporarily out of stock in France. It’s available in Lithuanian store. I can buy one for you and send to France if you pay for the shipping.

    Checking every 15 minutes if the app is running honestly sounds a bit like a hack.

    If opensprinkler really needs a supervisor / watchdog, then IMO something like an init.d script with a supervisor process would be more appropriate, where you could start/stop the service as needed. If it is not already available, I could work on one.

    After playing a few weeks with this, I must say both hardware and firmware of ospi are pretty impressive 🙂 One thing that happened last week, was that OpenSprinkler process terminated for (probably) no reason. Ospi was up for 8 days, and one day the program just didn’t run. Web interface was not available, and on ssh I could see that OpenSprinkler process was not running.

    I would like to find the cause of this and help to make ospi more stable. It is probably going to happen to other people as well, since I am using the same hardware and OS image as everyone else does. Where do I begin? Are there any OpenSprinkler process exit codes to look for?

    thanks

    thanks.

    In the ospi image, in /etc/network/interfaces I would suggest changing the default of “wpa-conf” with “wpa-roam” (since the inet is set to manual anyway).

    This handles weaker wifi signals better and reconnects automatically.

    Received the transformer from rs-online a few days ago.
    Overall very happy with it: good price, free courier delivery to door, the adapter itself is good quality and seems to be made in Germany 🙂

    Installed as per tutorial here https://opensprinkler.com/forums/topic/tutorial-install-opensprinkler-unified-on-a-fresh-raspbian-image-for-a-pi-2/ and it works.

    The OS image and the docs could use an update though, as for the new user it isn’t very clear where to start. Normally the easiest way to go is to download a pre-configured image, which in this case doesn’t contain required kernel and latest software.

    This is so strange… When I go to RS-online, it takes a while to load, and then I get an error message like in the screenshot. Tried another browser and it works fine… must be some broken cookie.

    stewa9, awesome post, thanks for the links!

    Is it just me, or RS-online site is down for the 2nd day in a row?

    I wonder why its so difficult to get in Europe. Do European systems normally use different voltage?

    The guy from ebay eventually responded and decided to ship to my country, but honestly this looks like the only place to get a wall outlet transformer in EU, which is kinda weird 🙂

    thank you for the link.

    I was hoping to get one pluggable into the wall outlet like they sell on this site. Are such options available in EU?
