Support for Sequential Groups: this generalizes and replaces the previous per-zone sequential attribute. For All of OpenSprinkler 2.3, 3.x and OpenSprinkler Pi (and Linux-based systems)
Opensprinkler update update#
Over the air (OTA) firmware update is now supported under either WiFi or wired Ethernet (previously it's only supported under WiFi). This unified the handling of WiFi and wired Ethernet. Updated ESP8266 core library to version 3.0.2: the adoption of ESP8266 WiFi Core 3.0.2 and lwip as wired Ethernet library. Support for OpenThings Cloud (OTC) connection: this allows remote access without the need of setting up port forwarding. Also, for this firmware (2.2.0) we've made a new video tutorial (the third video on the page). Before proceeding to update firmware, it's always a good idea to export your current configurations to a file so you can recover your programs and settings later.

Update firmware from any previous version to this version will trigger a factory reset, including resetting Wifi settings. To close the window, I'll use a raspberry with a hacked sonoff SV.īy the way: I didn't buy the kit, because I didn't know if I can make the modifications.IMPORTANT REMINDER: this is a major firmware revision. This is my question: doing your hack, you saw how the sensor functions do you think that I can bypass the mechanical contact, to link my rain sensor to the rainbird sensor somehow? I know that it is using hygroscopic discs, which in presence of water will press a mechanical contact which will wirelessly will send a message to the controller. So, I came with an idea to open the sensor and somehow connect it to a rain sensor like thisīut, I don't know how the sensor works.

the kit reaction is too slow, because the sensor reacts only when the rain is too heavy (5 liters/sqm) it is OK for an irrigation system where time reaction doesn't matter but for my attic will be a disaster. and the wireless sensor I'm thinking this will fit perfect with my needs, but it has problem: And because this package has a controller with battery indicator, signal strength. I'll tell you what my project is: I need to close automatically an attic window when rain starts. I searched a lot regarding projects with RainBird WR2-RFC, but I found just your post here.Īs I see it is an old project, and I hope you are still present in this forum. Pretty easy when you don't need a display or buttons! I hope to be able to program the relay station using MicroPython but if that proves to be too buggy I'll use Arduino instead. Other than that, I'll need a regulated DC power source. Another option is to use an I2C port expander to control the relays which would take care of the buffering too. I don't think the current output capability of the chip is enough to drive the relays so I'll have to use a buffer chip. It should be perfect for this since it has 9 GPIO and I have 8 sprinkler zones and a rain sensor. I'll use JSON for the machine-to-machine communication.įor the remote relay control station, I want to use the fully broken out ESP8266 module from to control the relays.
Opensprinkler update code#
I'll need to read through the code and find all the places where the actual hardware is being controlled or read and modify that.
Opensprinkler update plus#
Another plus is that the OpenSprinkler Pi project is programmed in Python. I have one already and it should have enough horsepower to expand into more home automation tasks I have planned. A RaspberryPi will be the main controller for two reasons. I want to break this link and have the hardware control separated from the software.
Opensprinkler update software#
The OpenSprinkler project currently has the software and hardware control on same board.

This is basically a software project with a small hardware component.
