Master station not working - yehuda80 - 2016 Apr 23
Hello everyone
i just completed setting up my irrigation system using PI-3 and this awesome software.
Thanks everyone for sharing this great project.
i have one issue with setting up a master station.
when i don't use a defined master station i can operate the a certain station ( say S02) by manually opening both the master valve and S02
so i assume my electrical setup is fine
when i define a master station and try to open S02 using run-once or even manual mode the master valve doesn't open
even the status view shows it as off ("MASTER OFF")
am i doing something wrong?
should i disable manual mode while i define a master station ?
Thanks a lot
Yehuda

found it.
i forgot to enable the master for each of my stations.
apparently the master valve is disabled by default for all stations
Maybe it's worth adding a note on the master configuration panel mentioning the per-station activation required.
Regards

Good point about documenting the need to configure each station to activate the master on the Stations page.
I will update the documentation on the wiki.
