I purchased both the OpenSprinkler unit and 24VAC adapter from here: Įverything you need to know about installing OpenSprinkler can be found in the getting started guide.

If you’d like to go the DIY route, you can follow one of their github guides to install it on a raspberry pi. If you purchase the pre-assembled kit, nothing else is needed and no soldering is required. Total cost was $172.95 for both after shipping.
I just purchased the pre-assembled OpenSprinkler with a 24v AC adapter. I currently have a 6-zone Hunter Pro-C, so I didn’t need to purchase one. Depending on how many sprinkler zones you have will determine whether you need to purchase a Zone Expander.

In this guide, I will show you how to install OpenSprinkler into your existing sprinkler system in 2021.įirst, read over their getting started guide. If you’d like to play around with a live demo, you can do that here: OpenSprinkler is web-based sprinkler controller for your lawn, garden, or plants. After doing some research, I stumbled across an open source project called OpenSprinkler. Otherwise check the permissions on the /etc/init.d/ospi-notifications script as well as the /home/pi/ospi_push_notifications.py script.One of the most recent smarthome projects I’ve worked on was making my sprinkler system “smart”. Lastly, you can check the init.d logįor the notifications script located at /var/log/ospi-notifications. Typically this is at /var/log/messages.ĭepending on where the script failed, this should provide some information. Then, if for some reason things aren't working, you can check your syslog. Now that the script is running as a background service, run a zone manually from your phone or the OpenSprinkler web page to see if you get a push notification.įirst, make sure you have the required Python libraries.Other commands you can run are sudo service ospi-notifications stop | restart | status.To manually start the service, sudo service ospi-notifications start.To start the script on startups and reboots, run sudo update-rc.d ospi-notifications defaults.
sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/ospi-notifications.Copy the service script ospi-notifications to /etc/init.d.Stop running the script by pressing CTRL+C if you receive a notification, and continue to install it as a service so it'll run on reboots.You can run sudo python /home/pi/ospi_push_notifications.py and manually start a station from OpenSprinkler's web page to see if you get a push notification.For the Notification field, I simply chose present in that notification message for the dynamic info to be sent through notification. Complete the action field and create the recipe.ġ.This is where you can use "iOS Notification" or "Android Notification" or "Email" or "SMS". You can tailor it to suite your needs, but for this example:ġ.
Create a new recipe with the following info.I chose my event name to be OpenSprinkler Add the secret key, and your event name to the config.yaml.Create your maker channel and get your secret key.Install the app on your device to receive push notifications.Create a new app called OpenSprinkler (or whatever you'd like it to be called).
The app is basic and is only needed to receive the push notification.
