Michael, I am finally ready to move my mcsSprinklers from HS2 to HS3 and retire HS2. I would appreciate it if you would review the following migration notes and let me know what has changed, needs to be added or is no longer applicable.
For background, I will go with mcsSprinklersP with my current Rain8Net. Most of the following were taken from posts back in 2015.
Here are my ini items, other than HTML color settings, that have the # and need to be changed.
NET:1:1=#1,60,False
NET:1:2=#2,60,False
NET:1:3=#3,60,False
NET:1:4=#4,60,False
NET:1:5=#5,60,False
NET:1:6=#6,60,False
NET:1:7=#7,60,False
NET:1:8=#8,60,False
A_#1=I1
A_#2=I2
A_#3=I3
A_#4=I4
A_#5=I5
A_#6=I6
A_#7=I7
Is Browser still an issue, from a prior post you stated:
Other points from posts:
IN MY CASE: C:\Homeseer_HS2Pro\data\mcsSprinklers\mcsSprinklers.mdb moved to C:\Homeseer_HS3Pro\data\mcsSprinklers\
Also in the .ini, and I assume needs to be changed to:
DATABASE=C:\Homeseer_HS3Pro\Data\mcsSprinklers\mcsSprinklers .mdb
DEBUGPATH="C:\Homeseer_HS3Pro\Data\mcsSprinklers"
Anything else I need to be aware of?
Thanks
Gary

HS3 does not support the allocation of house codes between plugins so mcsSprinklers uses "R" for the valves and "S" for the status devices. mcsSprinklers.ini should be edited to change all "#" to "R"

Is Browser still an issue, from a prior post you stated:
This page uses multipart encoding to allow transfer of binary images and that capability does not exist with Chrome. Chrome may have a different way to do it, but never did the research to know. Use IE for Other and Picture Pages. IE also works best for the two touch pages.
Get mcsSprinklers from the updater.
Copy your \Config\mcsSprinklers.ini and \Config\mcsSprinklers_Interview.ini (if it exists) to the equivalent location on HS3. This will give you the same setup.
Copy your database which is located based upon the user definition on the Other Page to same location on HS3 computer. This will keep your irrigation history.

Enable mcsSprinklers from HS3. During initialization it should create the devices you are setup.
Thanks
