New OpenSprinkler Plugin

[PJJPtx]

Mattygee, thank you for your response.

I am on firmware Version 2.1.6(1), Hardware 2.3 - DC
Just to confirm: since I have the web app set to 32 stations, all is well, that is, until I change it to 40 which is the available stations. The controller itself works fine with the 40 stations.

So, a new version should fix most of those bugs. Here is what has changed:

Mark S: Added a "on" button (sets it for 6 hours run). This should help with your HSTouch integration. With the "Master" issue - there are two master stations. Can you confirm that nothing is set in master 2? Otherwise please send me your "jo=" string as per previous post.

Travis: Your "no programs" bug should be squashed. PS. Why would you not have any programs?

jbbtex: I've had a go at fixing your rain delay issue. Can you test and let me know. I'm not at home so can't (easily) test on my own system right now.

GearyT: I believe I have this fixed now (although i tried to fix it once before).

PJJPtx: It should work for up to 64 zones now.

Please disable the plugin, overwrite your current exe file with the new one attached, reenable, and let me know if your problems are fixed or not. Just send me the error message from the log and a description of the problem.

Cheers!

I am interested as to the heatbeat mechanism utilised by the Plugin as Ray is suggesting that any frequent pinging of the hardware could result in a loss of network connectivity - although not controller functionality which is prioritised ahead of the network connectivity.

I am not yet sure whether the PI could be causing this - I also had a Domotz.com agent that was monitoring the OS Controller, which I have now deactivated - or whether I do actually have some sort of hardware issue with the controller itself.

If anyone else has seen the controller go offline fairly frequently please chime in also

Thanks
James

The old firmware (V2.0.6) used to be very robust for network comms, but as they have added more features it's become a little less responsive at times. Around firmware 2.1.3 I had to re-write it a bit to reduce network traffic because many people were having issues.

The plugin needs to poll the unit to get the information it needs because the unit doesn't tell the plugin, the plugin has to ask the unit. The plugin has to ask 5 different questions (5 pings) to get all the info it needs, it originally did all 5 at once - every poll interval, but now I've spaced them out over the poll interval. Some calls are more often than others. It is a bit complex to explain but basically it will ping every 1/5 of a poll interval, but will update all devices every 3/5 of a poll interval.

I can't remember what I have set (not at home right now) but its something like 10 seconds poll interval and I have no issues. If you slowed polling to 15 minutes, the plugin would be unusable (would still give commands immediately but wouldn't update very fast).

When the plugin says "comms error" it basically means it has had 30 consecutive failed pings to the unit.

[PJJPtx]

So far, so good!!!

Much thanks!!

[Mark S.]

Thanks, Matt.

I can confirm I only have one Master (Master 1) defined. I ran /jo, but all I got was {"fwv":216}

[Mattyjee]

Thanks, Matt.

I can confirm I only have one Master (Master 1) defined. I ran /jo, but all I got was {"fwv":216}

Can you temporarily disable your password and do it again?
From that I can work out the issue.
Cheers.

[jbbtex]

Rain delay change is great and works great.

Thanks

[Mark S.]

Sorry, missed that password part. Here it is:

New version 2.1.6.6:

1) Fixed issue with master station status being shown on the final station (was missing a line of code). It's always been broken and was also broken on my setup. Mark was the first to notice.

2) Added two new config options. You can now select the maximum station run time and maximum rain delay time. This is done because HS3 creates it's own dropdown lists in Events builder and HSTouch based on the range. By using a smaller range (I use 20 minutes) it creates sensible dropdown lists. Note: The "On" button for each zone simply sets the time to whatever is specified in MaxTime.

Brady - notice I had to partially roll back the rain delay fix I did because I lost the "No rain delay button" when allowing the slider to start at zero hours ("No rain delay" = zero). Hopefully this new config setting helps you out. I'm not sure how to make the events builder let you enter a number direct?

Please provide any feedback, if all is good I'll push this version out to the official updater.

[Mark S.]

Thanks. I like the flexibility.

But so far, I have one issue. I changed the new config for maximum on time to 60 minutes, but it still turns on for 6 hours (the default).

[Mattyjee]

Mark S - Have you clicked "rebuild devices" or alternatively stopped and restarted the plugin? It should work.

[Mark S.]

Thanks. I rebuilt devices and it's better. I have it set at 60 minutes, but it runs for 61. I'm OK with the extra minute, but thought you should know.

[Mark S.]

Maybe It's Just me

Another issue I'm seeing - I see frequent errors in Event Viewer - at least once a day. But it seems like the plugin keeps working anyway - kinda slow though. The errors always appear back to back:

[Mattyjee]

Waaay over my head here sorry. Can't help.

PS. I'm away of the maxtime being 1 minute over. It's because I wanted the droplist to contain the maxtime and I can't have both that and the "on" button share the same value.
