Samer, not sure the status of your changes to fix this, but I managed to get the weather server running locally and still using OWM data found a way to get the high/low temps and low humidity for the next day or so. If you want to see the changes, I can email offline.

Thanks. I’ve pulled the repo and can more-or-less read the code.
What’s the state of finding an improved solution? I’m happy (and motivated)
to help, but don’t want to duplicate already done work.

Is there a quick start on how to host this locally on my own? I’ve got a linux box
with a running httpd and the like. Is it just a matter of a web page with
the .js plugged into it?

Thx, Chris

I have more details… Looking at the log, I see that the percentage offset based on the Zimmerman method returns, to me, unexpected values, depending on the time of day it checks. I’d expect that the percentage offset would be the same all day based on yesterday’s weather and today’s forecast. It appears that the calculation is done based on the current temp, not the forecast high for the day, which would explain why programs set to run early would end up with no watering time after the offset, and programs that run later have >100%. Where can I get more info on how this Zimmerman method calculates the offsets? The code isn’t part of OpenSprinkler.

3rd value is % offset of run-time for the valves

So, I figured out how to dump the state of the system with >>> contents = urllib2.urlopen(“http://192.168.0.69:8080/ja?pw=xxxx”).read(),
and I still can’t figure out why the programs (#5 specifically) isn’t triggering. I’d like to see logs of how the scheduler is deciding
to start or not start a station. I’ve found plenty of DEBUG_PRINT statements in the code, but don’t know how to enable them. This
is what’s in the logs. Can’t make sense of what it means, though.

Other than I have no real ipv6 traffic, it’s just to avoid loading something that doesn’t get used.
At least in terms of the documentation, a mention of the requirement would be nice.
There are a couple related threads from earlier. Anyhow, I’ll let this go for now as the
software works with ipv6 enabled.
Thx, Chris

The issue appears to be that you can’t disable ipv6, even if you don’t need it, because
of how the one piece of code is written. The web interface messes up the formatting, but
the error message matches the code block in the original note, and it only occurs here:

pi@pi2b:~/OpenSprinklerGen2 $ grep -B3 -A1 -n ‘create shell listen socket’ *
etherport.cpp-57-
etherport.cpp-58- if ((m_sock = socket(PF_INET6, SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0)
etherport.cpp-59- {
etherport.cpp:60: DEBUG_PRINTLN(“can’t create shell listen socket”);
etherport.cpp-61- return false;
