When is the moderator going to release this post? It has been a week since I asked this question.

Ah, never mind. It turns out there is an “ignore rain” option for the stations and that was enabled for station 1.

Ok, I got it. I tried to do it directly on the OpenSprinkler by long pressing B3 (or is it E3), short pressing B3 and then long pressing B3. That should have started the 1 minute test program. But as soon as I did the second long press on B3 the unit would reboot. I ended up trying another power adapter (12V/1.5A) and now it works just fine. I then tried the web portal and that worked as well. It shows a current of about 245mA. Since I only run one zone at a time that 1.5A adapter should be fine.

I am measuring a consistent 45 Ohm between the COM port and each of the 4 zones. My OpenSprinkler did not come with a power adapter so I use my own 12VDC/2A adapter. The 2A should be plenty if those valves only pull 250mA. So I am not sure why this isn’t working…

I took a picture of the top. It says Rain Bird 075 ASVF 3/4″ 150 PSI MAX. STD 1001. I am not sure if this is helpful but the original controller is an Orbit 4 Station Easy Dial, 57594, 046878575943
