but, i couldn’t edit any of the fields from a web browser (Normally use Safari also tried Chrome)
Tried to enable ntp, sequential mode etc. None of the settings stuck.Trying to change the station names didn’t seem to stick it would only take the first few characters, (I realize there is an upper limit but Front Sidewalk used to work just fine)
I honestly don’t understand what you mean by stuck. Did you submit the options and go back in to find no change?
For the station name, do you mean you can’t type more than a few characters? Or do you mean after saving the station names when going back in you only see the first few characters of what you typed?

Trouble here as well. Lost settings. I thought they were starting to be kept during upgrades. I restored backup from iPad but all but part of one station name gone. One program was missing until after closing app and connecting again.
The firmware has always wiped the config on firmware changes. I have also noticed the first station name issue but again the stations and all options get reset so the import/export becomes helpful.

Still issues with how it handled config restore.
Which issues?
Thanks
Okay so, 1.1.7 hopefully address the double graph in Android. This is a problem with Android and the flot library as it has been reported for the flot library.
For the table view, the time is now shown (1.1.7) in seconds, minutes, hours, days (w/e is needed) so no rounding is done. Also, the app has always emailed exact second runs (no rounding or minutes).
In regard to your other issues, I honestly don’t get what is happening so if you can I would like to try and troubleshoot while you are on and experiencing the issue. I will send you a private message so we can coordinate such a time.
Thanks
Correct, this has been addressed in 2.0.8.
Regarding the firmware, it’s been an evolution and there used to be no REST API until the mobile app needed/made one. This is an area of focus and still being improved.
Update: For the POST/PUT methods, those are good suggestions and will be looked at going forward.
The restore prior to 1.1.7 didn’t remove the old programs before import. Hence the doubling.
I will look into the export still.
Regarding the clear text, this is a limitation of the firmware and Arduino. We don’t have a hashing algorithm (planned) and we also don’t have SSL (Arduino limitation).
Long term, this will be addressed but short term complex passwords should work regardless and will be fixed in 1.1.8.
Inside the apps side panel (main page) can you export to email (the small icon to the right of the export text)?
If so this issue is related to the content.
Oh okay, if you changed that yourself, then that would explain it. I had assumed that was untouched.
Thanks for the follow up!
Recently, a lot of user’s have been complaining of frequent local IP changes and I think you just provided the reason. If the MAC is changing then this is a problem.
Glad it worked out. I did notice an inconsistency in handling complex passwords. I don’t know if that was the issue or not however I will have this fixed in the next version of the app.
I am pretty sure this is a complex password issue. If you are using special characters in the password than this is likely the issue.
It turns out the app didn’t properly URI encode the password field. This has been fixed however unfortunately I already pushed out 1.1.7. I will push a follow-up update very soon to address this.
Thank you
I will have to look into this and get back with you however my main question is this (and of course backup if you are willing to try this):
If you reset the config, does the export work? I am wondering if this is some sort of data encoding issue in station names?
Thanks!

If your IP address changes, there’s no way to update the IP or delete the sprinkler. When you press “Save” or “Delete” you go to a weird looking page and you’re toast. After app-restart the entry is still there. The only solution is to completely restart the app.
This has been resolved. The underlying issue was IE10 and below doesn’t support the dataset object. Will be resolved in the next version.

I would also like to see you getting rid of the ‘back’ breadcrumb. It’s an iOS thing. We have the hardware backbutton instead.
This will be hidden on the next version.

For popups, when you press the back-button you leave the app or go to the previous page, instead of closing the popup. For instance click “rain delay” and then back button to close the dialog -> App shuts down.
This has been fixed for the next version and will now properly close the popup.
The things you pointed out in your first post are bugs regarding my app for Windows Phone and are the major factors contributing to the poor user experience you mention. I don’t think building a cross-platform UI inherently means a poor user experience but I do understand an application tailored for the platform has its appeal.
Thanks
Thank you for the detailed report. I will look into and will fix the site manager page not working properly on Windows Phone 8. That is a horrible bug and thanks for reporting. As a side note, I am looking into better way’s to handle an IP change of the device.
In regard to the back button, you need to understand this is a universal app. The same code is used for all the different platforms otherwise the time required would exceed what is doable by one person. The popup’s not working with the native back button is an issue and will be resolved.
Again, the app-bar is something I am not familiar with since I develop a cross-platform application. However, I do plan to look into it and see if this is something I can incorporate with the current method.
The live tile is an extra which I think could be useful but honsestly will not be a priority. I will look into this and see what I can do.
Basically, the back button not working on popups and the site manager page buttons kicking you out of the app will both be addressed ASAP.
@baataboom First, welcome to OpenSprinkler!
You are correct that currently programs only support one duration time that is used by all stations selected for that program. As you mentioned, you can make multiple programs with the same start time and the controller will manage all stations if sequential mode is turned on. There are plans to accommodate per station duration for programs however this is still pending completion.
I ask because a web app exists for the desktop to interface with the OS. So you are getting incorrect password errors however the Android app has no issues. To me this means the password you are using is incorrect and the one the app has is correct (maybe a change didn’t happen)?
I doubt two causes an issue. Is that all that’s open? The amount depends on your power supply which in you case is 750mA which should be fine. Probably not issue just a thought
I also tried and cannot reproduce this. It almost sounds like a power draw problem causing a reset of the device and therefore nothing is written to log? Just thinking out loud…
When you say the “WEB” what are you referring to? The native UI of the OpenSprinkler firmware (the mainly white pages with the basic look)?
It sounds like a simple password issue and the app seems to have the correct one saved and the wrong one is being used elsewhere. Let me know if you have any other information.
If he has a working install with wifi, why make him switch when all that’s needed is a small download of OSPi?
The current version doesn’t have a change password field. Not quite sure what you are referring too however inside the app is a manage site page. In their, you can change the password and save it.
That get you going again. Otherwise, try the clear configuration button and try again.
Let me know if that helps.
Thanks
