What is Remote Station on OpenSprinkler?

Our firmware supports Remote Stations — a feature that allows one OpenSprinkler to function as a master controller sending commands to one or multiple remote controllers to open or close their valves. This is useful if you have a large property with separate clusters of valves.

What is the screen on OpenSprinkler?

OpenSprinkler has a built-in LCD screen which displays the current time, zone status, and rain status. The buttons are used to display OpenSprinkler’s IP address, perform factory reset, and manually start a program on the controller (useful for example, to landscapers for testing sprinkler zones).

What is the difference between a 24V and DC sprinkler valve?

AC-powered and DC-powered versions both operate standard 24VAC sprinkler valves. The main difference is that the AC version is powered by a 24V AC adapter; and the DC version is powered by a low-voltage (7.5V) DC adapter. For International customers: DC adapters are generally much easier to find than AC adapters.

What is an open sprinkler controller?

OpenSprinkler is an open-source, web-based sprinkler / irrigation controller. It’s a drop-in replacement for conventional sprinkler controllers that are not web connected. A web-connected controller like OpenSprinkler provides the following advantages:

What is the UI on a sprinkler system?

Intuitive User Interface (UI): no more messing with buttons and knobs, no more running to your garage to make a single sprinkler program change. Instead, use web browsers and mobile apps to set or change sprinkler programs. The web interface is much more intuitive than a small LCD screen.

What type of AC/DC is compatible with OpenSprinkler?

The ‘3-wire 9-24V AC/DC’ type is also compatible with OpenSprinkler AC-powered, however, because of the way 3-wire valve works, each valve will take 2 zones (one for opening, one for closing).

Does a latch controller work with OpenSprinkler?

The Latch controller is also powered by a DC adapter, and operates latching solenoid valves only. Motorized ball valve may also work with OpenSprinkler: for example, US Solids sells several types of motorized ball valve. The ‘2-wire auto return’ type is directly compatible with OpenSprinkler.
