Hi All,
I am using the OSPi and this is the noticed behaviour:
- Upon program start the valve doesn't turn on. However, when the program gets to the end and is supposed to turn the valve off, the valve is turned on.
- If the program is periodic (e.g.: run 20 seconds, every 2 min), the valve is turning off when the next program starts and turns on when the program ends.
- I tried with two different valves, of different brands (Hunter and Netafim), and also with two different OSPi boards. Therefore, I wonder if this issue has its root in the SIP software.

Does any one has seen this before? And has any clue for a solution.

Thanks for any insights.

Hey dan,

where can i get connections to the lcd display. what type of lcd display can be used?

Is there any way a feedback can be provided from motor(sprinklers) to see if it has actually started or not? Sometimes the relay will be triggered but sprinklers will not start so any solution for this problem?

Is there any way to control 3 hp and 5 hp motor using relay boards? If so what are the relay board available? Because rated current of 3hp and 5hp motor will be above 10amp and traditional relay boards available are 10 amps.

Hi all,

After reading http://dan-in-ca.github.io/SIP/ I purchased a TIAO Smart Sprinkler Pi and have connected it all and setup SIP (several times). I've installed the relay_board plugin.

Station 1 works fine!

As soon as I connect any more stations Station 2 opens whenever Station 1 is switched on while none of the other stations work whatsoever.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I might be doing wrong?

Appreciate any help

Cheers, Tim

Hi all,

Does anyone know if it is possible to use raspi3 gpio pins which are not in use by SIP (if there are any) by another program?

Background; SIP is running on my raspi3 which is located in a shed in the back of the garden. The shed has a few doors of which one of them is on the public road. I would like to create small alarm system through some basic python code to read a few magnetic sensors on the doors. These sensors are preferably connected to a few gpio pins on the raspi.

Any help on this is welcome.

Thanks in advance,
Gerard
