The idea of OSPi first came when I noticed that many users were setting up RPi to work with OpenSprinkler. It is based on the design of OpenSprinkler, but its ‘brain’ is an RPi instead of an AVR microcontroller. OpenSprinkler Pi (OSPi) is an open-source sprinkler / irrigation extension board for Raspberry Pi (RPi).

This program has an integrated mobile web page, weather-control feature, and the source code can be cross-compiled with AVR/Arduino platform.

OSPi software setup just became easier: download the pre-configured SD card image for OSPi, burn it to an SD card, pop it in to your RPi, and you are ready to go! The SD card image contains Dan’s interval_program, Rich’s sprinklers_pi program, Samer’s mobile web app, and the Google Calendar-based scheduling program.Additional details can be found in this blog post.

Search ‘opensprinkler’ in iOS App Store, Android Play Store, or Windows Phone Store, then install the app.

And an excellent web portal lets you tinker with your system’s settings from the comfort of a larger screen.OpenSprinkler Pi is available for purchase at Rayshobby Shop. The Yard Map feature allows you to draw virtual boundaries for each zone in your yard and to specify how many sprinkler heads are in it and where, which Rachio says improves water-usage reporting. An informative water-usage screen shows you an estimate of how much water the system applied to each zone both monthly and daily. You can also set an optional delay between zones (say, to allow a well to refill), select a different weather station, or connect to a personal weather station, such as a Netatmo.

In addition, you can share access through the app, with or without time restrictions, so a landscaper can maintain the system via their smartphone without your having to be there. The app also tells you when it’s offline, which is key because with a device that’s so easy to set and forget, if it happens to lose power, you might not know until your garden suffers damage. The app sends timely and consistent notifications to your smartphone and email, the most useful being a warning that the sprinklers are about to turn on, sent a few seconds before they do this alert saved us from unexpectedly soaking some guests. We’ve observed several instances when other controllers set rain delays due to forecasted events that didn’t actually happen, and in every case the Rachio 3 wasn’t similarly fooled by the meteorologist. In our long-term testing this accuracy has continued to make the Rachio 3 the most effective controller we’ve tested.

(Costco offers a 12-zone Rachio 3 model it’s a Costco exclusive, and it’s the same as the standard Rachio 3 in all respects other than the number of zones covered.) Its Weather Intelligence Plus (WIP) service produces a hyperlocal forecast based on local weather reports, satellite, radar, and atmospheric flight data, as well as other climate sources, and in our testing it proved to be very effective for instance, the Rachio 3 accurately predicted that it would not rain in our test garden on a day that the software for every other controller said it would. Available in four-, eight-, and 16-zone versions, the WaterSense-certified Rachio 3 is our top pick because it was the most accurate controller in our testing.
