$ indicates a command executed in a terminal window on the MacBook and usually is being executed on the Raspberry Pi.

#Opensprinkler pi api upgrade#

At a minimum, I would need to upgrade the Rainbird controller. My house came with a Rainbird ESP-M controller, which is not WiFi enabled and cannot be accessed from the web. In general, I try to water as little as possible, but because it runs in the middle of the night I forget about it. If I water on the wrong day, during the wrong hours (after 10pm and before 7am), or if water runs into the street, then I get a $50 fine. My neighborhood is under severe watering restrictions. I used a MacBook to communicate with the Raspberry Pi, but any computer can be used.įor the last ten years, Central Texas has been in a severe drought.

Also, the parts list in the OSpi Manual is not complete. So, I had to take the RPi and OSPi apart, insert the micro SD card. However, once the Raspberry Pi and OSPI are connected, the micro SD slot is not accessible.

For example, when following the OSPi User Manual steps, I connected the Raspberry Pi to the OSPI (Step 2) and then many steps later imaged the micro SD card (step 8 = 7 hardware steps plus 1 software step). I changed the order of some OpenSprinkler steps. This is a great source for the latest OpenSprkler documents. The OpenSprinkler v1.4+ User Manual (updated May 31, 2015) is the basis for this document.

Use WiFi instead of a wired connection.Add soil sensors (I haven't done this yet – not supported by Open Sprinkler as of publish date).Integrate with weather reports (built in to OpenSprinkler).Add functionality to the irrigation system.Control the irrigation system from the web.Don’t lose any functionality from current Rainbird irrigation system.If you are looking for a first project, do this one. This is the perfect home automation project. This instructable simply documents my progress in Home Automation. OpenSprinkler doesn't need an instructable. It is an easy and low-cost solution to transform a Raspberry Pi into a capable sprinkler controller with 8 zones for lawn and garden watering. OpenSprinkler Pi (OSPi) is an open-source sprinkler / irrigation extension board for the Raspberry Pi. I updated it JUL2021 to use latest build and newer hardware. The functionality will be the same as most of what’s happening in the firmware goes on before the result is printed.This instructable was published in 2015.

Some stuff will come back a bit odd like random text at the bottom of the password change page, but it shouldn’t break the program, just visual errors. Then build the firmware and you should be fine. Or if you are half decent at programming take a look at server.cpp and for now just find and replace OK with SUCCESS and save it. Once the pull request is up on github you could pull from my repository and merge the changes yourself. It’s honestly a quick fix but the time it takes to get it accepted may be a bit. SUCCESS will give the result:1 field that is to be expected when making a proper request for existing data. In this case checking the html header for 200 would suffice as a bandaid until I can get a change made and see if Ray or Samer will accept the pull.

OK will simply break the output before sending the result field. Ya looking at the server.cpp file there appears to be a smattering of HTML_OK versus HTML_SUCCESS.
