Good news, I found a way to get the unread indicator added to the forum. It doesn’t work with tapatalk but hopefully I can get that working as well.

Thanks!

Update: If anyone is interested, the forum also supports two factor authentication using Authy. Clicking your username anywhere in the forum should take you to your profile to manage it.

This is something I also miss and looking to get this fixed.

Dan did address that issue in the announcement of 2.1.x of OSPi interval program and it is not available, yet.

[Samer]

Okay, the second issue has been fixed now. The changes include:

New Topic and Post Reply button added where applicable.

Show logout button when logged in.

Redirect back to the forums when pushing login, register, or lost password.

Thanks!

[Samer]

Okay, I believe I have found the particular issue and pushed a fix. The new server wasn’t providing the CORS header and preventing the app from working. This only affected rayshobby.net and not opensprinkler.com.

Please let me know if things are working as normal again.

[Samer]

Thank you for the feedback. I just fixed the first issue and I will get the second one resolved as well. I will post back here once completed.

Thanks!

@dennis.french, weather1.py should be the only file referenced by the firmware nevertheless I have restored access to weather.py. The reason is the firmware appends the weather algorithm type to the end to request the proper script.

If you are using the 2.1.0 firmware, all you need to do is put a valid location (you may use the lookup feature to verify the location is valid). Once saved, the timezone, sunrise and sunset data should be displayed correctly. From there, you may input a Weather Underground API key and enable weather based adjustments for programs.

Welcome to OpenSprinkler!

In regard to the firmware version, you may find this in the about page which is accessed via the side panel (top left icon).

The automatic DST adjustments are only available in firmware 2.1.0, so please upgrade your firmware. For assistance with this please refer to our guide: https://opensprinkler.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000123042-how-to-upgrade-opensprinkler

The manual is current for v2.2u hardware however the guides are not completely updated for 2.1.0 but should be updated soon.

The master valve can be enabled in the edit options page. Once a master station is selected for use, you may use the edit stations page to select which stations require a master valve.

The end time setting is being phased out and I recommend you upgrade to firmware 2.1.0 as it greatly simplified this process and adds a lot more options including per-station watering times.

Hope this helps!

From what I can see, the domain issue is resolved and normal operation should be resumed at this point. Please let me know if you are still having issues.

Thanks!

@rwp, You are correct that I have not outlined a proper path to fix this and that’s because I don’t have one. Right now, with the outage, the state of DNS is in limbo. These things are honestly out of my control as each server will cache replies and have it’s own time to live parameter. There are many user’s with the issue you are experiencing and we are working to get this fixed.

In the meantime, may I suggest a Chrome or Firefox extension, available here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/opensprinkler/iegciplggbmhpihoeamfpjdedihblhhp?hl=en or https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/opensprinkler

Again, we are working diligently to get this resolved and will post an update once everything is stable again.

Thank you for your patience.

Update: Ray will be posting a guide to switch the UI from rayshobby.net/scripts/sprinklers/js to ui.opensprinkler.com/js. This will resolve the issue since the problem is with rayshobby.net and not opensprinkler.com. The change can be accomplished by going to http://os_ip/su. More detailed instructions will be coming soon.

[Samer]

I am looking into having a drop down for the graph where you can select a single station or rain delay/sensor and view the graph independently. Once this is live, I am sure it will accomplish what you are asking. Right now, I have no timetable for this change but hopefully soon.

Thanks!

Thank you for the feedback! Answering your questions regarding the mobile app, yes it is essentially a website with a few caveats.

The automatic device detection only works when the app knows the IP of the device the browser is being run on. In PhoneGap, I accomplish this with compiled code for iOS, Android and Windows Phone. On the desktop, this isn’t possible. Another issue when using the browser is an inability to bypass CORS and you will run into issues using it directly from a browser.

The grunt build command doesn’t make all the apps. I use PhoneGap Build for some of the apps but overall yes, it helps me package the apps for distribution.

The best way to test is to use OSPi. Just install the software somewhere and use port 8080 to connect to it. The app is essentially the same with the OSPi.

Lastly, I will look into user’s being able to edit posts as this seems to be a recurring issue.

Thanks,
Samer

As you noticed, all mobile apps and also the desktop extensions (Chrome and Firefox) will always work even without an Internet connection. Also Windows and Mac OS X have applications released in the app store. To protect from Internet outages, please ensure you at least have one app installed to safely access your device, in an outage.

[Samer]

Sorry for the trouble you are experiencing. This is related to an outage with 1and1, which hosted rayshobby.net. We have since moved to Digital Ocean and have been moving services over as quickly as possible. The error should be resolved by forcing a page refresh (ensure no cache is being used). The other issue might be a cached DNS reply (rebooting the router and computer can clear this typically).

Again, we apologize for the inconvenience as we transition to these better servers and it resolves the issue in the long term.

Thank you for your understanding

[Samer]

The manual mode still exists in my app for users of prior firmware and OSPi.

The issue is an “internal server error” returned by OSPi which is the bug you just fixed, I believe.

[Samer]

This support article guides you through using the SD card for the UI files: https://opensprinkler.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/5000011026-using-the-sd-card-for-ui

The device is controlled using the network connection. With that said, you don’t have to buy a router. You can connect it directly to your computer using a cross-over cable. Also, the SD card is only needed for logging of data.

[Samer]

I suggest you follow the instructions here for updating OSPi: http://rayshobby.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=Python_Interval_Program_for_OSPi#Updating_the_program.

Git pull won’t work if you are updating from 1.8.3.

You can also just delete the folder and clone a new one (after saving settings or writing them down). The clone command is:

git clone https://github.com/Dan-in-CA/OSPi

[Samer]

I will check this out and let you know once it’s fixed. Your correct it should display some sort of message saying no data is available.

[Samer]

In case you are looking for how to change the NTP server, you may find the setting under edit options > advanced > NTP IP address

[Samer]

OS X app has been updated. The iOS app is still pending review.

[Samer]

That’s already displayed on the status page as well as the options page (the watering level).

We also display the sunrise and sunset times on the status page to help verify the location (and for future use).

[Samer]

The weather is being polled every 15 minutes if I’m not mistaken. The code is available here: https://github.com/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinklerGen2/blob/master/examples/interval_program/weather1.py#L103

[Samer]

No this is fixed in 2.1.0.

[Samer]

Okay this is finally fixed. The issue was the key lookup during import for DHCP settings. Because your DHCP setting wasn’t properly being imported the OpenSprinkler switched to it’s default static IP.

The mobile apps will be updated soon however the direct access UI has now been updated with this fix.

Thanks!
