They aren’t connected to the Internet, and hence you can’t administer devices on them via the Internet. Ad hoc networks are by definition standalone. For example, you might have a rental property, whose grounds are watered by an OSPi system, and you don’t want the unreliability (or liability) of connecting the OSPi to the tenant’s WiFi network. In some cases, an existing WiFi network isn’t practical to access. The existing WiFi network isn’t useable.An OSPi network is useful in cases where there is no existing network Why would you do this?Ĭonsider setting up an OSPi ad hoc network (we’ll call this the OSPi network) if: name -> IP.Once you connect to the network, you open the Open Sprinkler App (or Web UI if using a laptop) to administer Open Sprinkler. ![]() On Oct 8 and 9, 1and1 experienced DDoS attack on their servers () and that took down their DNS servers. Hi All, First of all, deep apologies to the chaos that happened the past two days. i’m still trying to get it working, but here’s the post that will maybe help Announcement: Resolving the 'Unable to Load UI' issue. I got ahold of Ray… he responded right away… known issue, at least for me. If somebody knows who created the original plugin and can get in contact with him, might be the quickest route for resolution. One nice thing, is I see MCV actually published plugin documentation in the past day or so, so that may be able to assist me getting it figured out. Over the next few weeks I will see if I can decipher the original code created, but I havent really done any coding for over 20+ years so not sure how much luck I will have. Vera is telling me to contact plugin developer, and OpenSprinkler is willing to help, but they dont have a Vera to test with. The concern I have with that will that make the plugin issues with Vera that much worse. I contact OpenSprinkler and they are troubleshooting the issue, but another path to resolve was upgrade the firmware on the unit itself. Tomgru - I noticed the same issues when connecting directly to the OpenSprinkler unit. Then it’s a lot of rewiring to replace my current Fibaro relay based irrigation controller with the OpenSprinkler one. Most of my irrigation water comes from a rain fed cistern with a weak submersible pump, and I lose a lot of what little pressure it has in those solenoid valves. I’m replacing most solenoid valves with motor-operated ball valve ones I finally found some cheap ones, ($40 or so, factory direct from China). I haven’t really used OpenSprinkler yet, still a lot to do first. The next version will also allow switching OS between Auto, Manual and Off HomeWave currently only supports Zones as simple on/off switches. The plugin works fine with OpenSprinkler 2.0.5 and the OS iPhone app so far. I’m concerned with compatibility between the firmware, plugin and iOS app. Plugin still working? I’m about to order, I expect I’ll get 2.05. Vera will flip the program bit based on a Weather Underground temp at a specific time each day. But when it’s warm on a day I’ll add an irrigation that day. The base irrigation for potted plants may be three days a week. I intend, in some zones, to have vera add irrigation based on temperature at a certain time each day. Of course valve On/Off will continue to be exposed and usable to the vera user, but I think it would be good to direct the vera/homewave implementation of openSprinkler towards a more solid implementation of the irrigation plan. ![]() While a sprinkler valve is a binary device, treating it as such in Vera/Homewave will eventually lead to trouble for many users. The value of Homewave with OS for me is to allow the integration of OS values and controls on screens with other non-OS controls. This places the implementation of the program scheme on OpenSprinkler, not Vera. I think the that the primarily way for vera to change the irrigation should be to turn the OS program bit on and off. I would implement “On” only on several speciality valves. ![]() For me, the the most important functions are 1) Off, 2) On with timer, and 3) Flipping the program on/off bit (on OS). ![]()
