Hi,
I have a OSPi + SIP installation with 22 active Orbit valves feed by my house water supply trough a 3/4" backwater valve. Some stations have large water flow. When SIP programs switch from station to station I experience water hammer shock. I found that having station operation switching with some overlap (say 5 seconds) it avoid this water hammer problem.
Is there a way to have station operation overlap (within and between programs) ? Beside reprogramming all the SIP programs so that each of them have a single station with proper start time and duration.
BTW huge thank to DAN for this incredible application. OSPi+SIP allowed me to upgrade from an inflexible and messy control setup containing 4 Orbit 4-6 zone timers.
In the future, I will add a master control valve and would like to add water pressure, water flow and even moisture sensors. It will allow a better optimization of water usage and diagnostic of the valve / head / plumbing problems. I have professional embedded system programming experience and could help implement these features.
Regards.
