So I deleted apache and set rc.file to 8080 and rebotted.

So looks like the main loop is looping

http://10.0.1.21:8080

Resulting in what appear to be a loop every 30 seconds or so with my RPi IP the time and date along with…

 GET /sn0 - 200 OK

over and over (with different time of course)

Is that what it is supposed to look like. Cant get the mobile app up as I did before the above changes.

[kkpwrh2o]

looking at the out put of

sudo netstat -anp --ip

I also notice the IP 10.0.1.21 for the RSPi in this line

udp        0      0 10.0.1.21:123             0.0.0.0:*                          2212/ntpd

[kkpwrh2o]

Good info. Thanks!

This is what I have for port 80

tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      2091/apache2

[kkpwrh2o]

Correct. My goal is to have the mobile app work from anywhere.

Tried both 80 and 8080

host=$(hostname -I | sed 's/ *$//g')

port=:80

cd /home/pi/OSPi/

/usr/bin/python ospi.py $host$port

Both resulted in

ValueError: :80 is not a valid ip address

respectively

[kkpwrh2o]

The only port I have been using is port 80 for the OSPi. Is there more than one somewhere else I need to configure?

Not sure what else is running on the port. The router is setup by mac addr for the RSPi on port 80.

BTW, during boot up I see the line

Starting web server: apache2apache2: Could not reliably determine the server’s fully qualified domain name, using 127.0.1.1 for ServerName

It has ok on the line following so I guess it is good to go?

[kkpwrh2o]

Had the same problem.

Did this, Before the “host=…” line, add “sleep 60” on a new line and see what that does…

Failed with this

socket.error: No socket could be created

Suggestions appreciated

Thanks,
Kevin

Sprinkler valves have long wires 😆

[kkpwrh2o]

Will give it a try this evening when I get home.

Thanks for all of your help.

Kevin

[kkpwrh2o]

Thanks Joe. Thanks Samer. Much appreciated. Still no joy after loading Joe’s rc.local file.

Out of patience for tonight. Will give it another crack in a day or so.

Kevin

went back and checked this code to make sure I had it in correctly. I copied and pasted the exact text from the readme file just to make sure I had it right.

# Print the IP address

_IP=$(hostname -I) || true

if [ "$_IP" ]; then

printf "My IP address is %sn" "$_IP"

fi

host=$(hostname -I | sed 's/ *$//g')

port=:80

cd /home/pi/OSPi

## If you aren't sure that the path to python on your Pi is /usr/bin/, use whereis python to determine the location /usr/bin/python ospi.p$

exit 0

I notice “fi” just before host=$(hostname -i….. line. Is that correct? Or is It is supposed to be “if” and I fat fingered it somehow?

[kkpwrh2o]

I went to the OSPi dir and started ospi.py with the following results

pi@raspberrypi ~/OSPi $ sudo python ospi.py

Starting main loop



http://0.0.0.0:8080/

That pretty much confirms it wasn’t running (I think)

Ran this again

hostname -I

ps -ef | grep -i ospi

No result was displayed, Just a cursor on a blank line.

[kkpwrh2o]

i’m thinking the port is forwarded ok. I have my other port forwarded device working fine on port 81.

I can see it on CYSM successfully using ths same IP addr as port 80 that the RPi is using. Port 80 is visible on CYSM as well.

Is there a way to tell if ospi is running? Perhaps in Task manager?

I made the changes to the 4 lines of code required to to so, but i can’t convince my self it is running.

I ran this again

hostname -I

ps -ef | grep -i ospi

with the following result

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ hostname -I

10.0.1.21

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ps -ef | grep -i ospi

pi        2602  2585  0 01:18 pts/0    00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i ospi

pi@raspberrypi ~ $

Based on the last time we went through this, it does not look like the interval timer is running.

Next item…

When I go to this link, http://rayshobby.net/apps/sprinklers

(which I visited a couple of day ago and was able to enter some information and resulted in a dark blank screen with a revolving arrow graphic.)

I am back to the dark, blank screen with revolving arrow graphic.

Not sure where to go from here.

Samer,

Tried that (a couple of time before posting) as I found your advice on another post. Still have the same issue.

Perhaps it is the way I am saving it. When I click the link, a dialog box comes up with save, save as, etc. I select save as, and save it to the pi directory.

Is that the correct way to save it, or is there a better way?

[kkpwrh2o]

Update – Well at least I am into the template of the web app. It does not seem to be talking to my OSPi.

Suggestions?

[kkpwrh2o]

Samer, I’m in!!!!!!

Awesome!

I’ll wire up the valves in the next couple of days.

Thanks a ton. Very exciting.

And as an added bonus, and probably the whole idea relative to the Raspberry Pi, I learned some cool stuff about software. I’m sure I will continue to learn….

Regards,
Kevin
PS In your spare time can you help us with the garage door project ;>)

[kkpwrh2o]

Samer, Yes I am interested the hosted version. I found this info from your earlier post on the subject.

For example, if your OpenSprinkler is on your home LAN at IP 192.168.1.30 and using port 80. Then you would goto your router’s configuration and forward port 80 for 192.168.1.30. After that you would use your home’s WAN IP for the OpenSprinkler on the external server. The WAN IP can be found by visiting http://wimi.com inside your home.

A few recommendations for this setup:

1) Ensure your OpenSprinkler has a static IP using the menu settings on the device OR by setting a static DHCP reservation through your router against the MAC address

2) You should use a secure password on your OpenSprinkler since it is now accessible outside of your home

3) You should double check the ‘Ignore Password’ option is unchecked

4) If it is a shared server, ensure permissions are properly set to prevent unwanted viewing of the config.php.

If you need any assistance feel free to ask, hope this helps!

Any updated tip or tricks to get it running. I think I have done most of what you mentioned.

Thanks,
Kevin

[kkpwrh2o]

You guys are reading my mind…

My OSPi will also be located in the garage less than 5 feet from one of my garage door opener buttons.

It is my next home automation project right behind the OSPi project. It would be fantastic to be able to control the garage doors and sense their position via a smart phone/webapp.

I really like the idea of the 24v relay being controlled by one of the triacs on the OSPi and using alarm reed switches for position feedback.

I have no doubt Samer, Ray, and the rest of the clever people on this forum could help us make this magic happen.

Regards,
Kevin

ITDawg, Samer, et al,

Thanks for all the info and direction.

Almost got it!!

Performed all of your guidance above (from last night), including getting my keyboard config set for US.

Was able to open browser, point it to my IP/sprinklers, get to the setup page, enter my acct info and save.

Can even see port 80 (now set for OSPi) on CYSM.

That is where I am now. When I try to login to my acct i get a green screen and that is it.

Thinking I am pretty close to success?

Regards,
Kevin

[kkpwrh2o]

ITDawg

Good info.

I did go through the setup but must have missed the keyboard part ;>)

I’ll update all the items in your post and add the code to run OSPi in background later today when I get home from work.

I’ll let you know the utcome.

Thanks a bunch for your help and patience!!

Regards,
Kevin

[kkpwrh2o]

Thanks for the diagnosis.

Guess I’ll try to figure it out tomorrow. Gotta hit the sack now. 0400 come early tomorrow.

Appreciate all the help guys. M

[kkpwrh2o]

Used a different keyboard same problem. Never mind…

I copy and pasted the commands…

Here are the results. Obviously different.

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ hostname -I
10.0.1.21
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ps -ef | grep -i ospi
pi 2604 2455 0 02:47 pts/0 00:00:00 grep –color=auto -i ospi

[kkpwrh2o]

It is on the key that way, but when i use shift back slash it shows up in terminal as a ~. Same as this post when used. Wow, it just gets weirder by the key stroke ;>)

[kkpwrh2o]

hostname -I matches AE IP add 10.0.1.21

Cant seem to find the vertical (pipe?) character on my keyboard. Which key is that. Sorry for the dumb question.
