After some consideration I followed Rays suggestion and used remote desktop to control the opensprinkler.
Unfortunately, Due to issues with my Verizon 4g LTE router, I will need to hold off on using the mobile app for now.
But I am looking forward to using the opensprinkler. its a good product with good pricing. Was surprised when I received the
new 16 station expander. To Ray, Salbahra and all contributors, You have done a Good Job !

Do any other resources work ? Yes eyez-on (alarm monitor), and teamviewer (remote desktop)
Both of these have been used successfully for a week. I dont know how they work through the router? Regarding this being currently worked on for opensprinkler, a solution may be in how these 2 resources work.

I have 3 of these 4gLTE routers ? Prior to purchase i inquired about the ability of port forwarding and they pointed out the routers port forwarding setup page. not clear what good port forwarding is if 2way comm is not possible.
Will try a few other things based on you comments, including a visit to Verizon

Thank You for your response,

using WAN IP address ? / Yes I obtained by whatsmyip
did I change ports on device/ yes then pressed b3 to recycle and verified new port number on the device
can you communicate directly using WAN IP / No but can with Local IP:port

results: I forwarded with port forwarding and port triggering and it worked this time. I then disabled the triggering and it still worked ???
Was this a result of the triggering if it worked with the triggering disabled?

But this success was on a router and network for testing only. knowing it worked, I then installed it back on my Verizon router /Verizon network which has no triggering option and it wont work.
I used the IP:port in the app and set router to ip address 192.168.1.15 start port 5000 end port 5000 protocal TCP
I tried disabling firewall ?? but no change
Verizon was unable to help me regarding their router.
Any other ideas to offer me?
