Opensprinkler5/7/2023 ![]() ![]() It’s small size, silent operation low power consumption, network interface, and low cost make it ideal for this purpose. This is a perfect job for the Raspberry Pi. However, the logging scripts need to be hosted on a separate computer that is running a web server and connected to the network. Gustovson) wrote a couple of php scripts which can log the activity of OpenSprinkler - a very useful feature. OpenSprinkler is an Arduino based, open source, network connected irrigation controller with a web enabled user interface. Then through some googling I discovered OpenSprinkler. The question was, how to interface the Pi to the irrigation system. For a long time I thought about learning Linux but never had a compelling reason until now.Īfter becoming somewhat familiar with Linux and trying out many of the Pi’s capabilities I thought the Pi might be useful for managing an automated irrigation system. I’ve been experimenting with it and having way too much fun to think about blogging. I purchased a Raspberry Pi (Pi for short) credit card size computer a couple of months ago. ![]() There is a plugin that allows the the software running on a Raspberry Pi to work with an inexpensive relay board such as the ones by SainSmart. ![]() The new software supports a simple plugin architecture for adding custom features. More recently I have been working on a Python port of the OpenSprinkler software which was originally written in C for an Ardino based sprinkler controller.
