My BlueSpray unit has been arbitrarily turning on zone 1 at random times (completely unrelated to any scheduled time). The time varies from 1 to 3 minutes for the time on. Normally I only notice it once in a great while (every few days). As of today, it has become a real issue since 2pm it has been occurring about every 10 minutes or so.
When this occurs the unit is not accessible via the web interface. If I wait 'till the water goes off, it is then accessible again.
Additionally, when the unit is reset via power off / power on, it turns on zone 1 for about 1 minute.
I have 2 zones free (15 and 16). I will move zone one to one of these and hope the system continues to operate for now.
Please advise on potential solutions.
Thanks,

One more note on this problem. Even though zone 1 has been on several times, for several minutes... no indication of this appears in either the "Today's Runs" list, nor in the history tab time histogram.
It appears to be a ghost in the machine. ::)

How does it go since you move to another terminal?

Before moving the station from 1 to another I wanted to make sure the system had a strong WiFi signal. Whenever this problem happened I was unable to connect to the BlueSpray system... so I thought maybe that had something to do with the network connection.
My primary WiFi access point (AP) is some distance from the BlueSpray unit, but I had a local AP on the same SSID, but different channel (3 instead of 1). I expected the BlueSpray to connect to the local AP since its signal strength would be the best.
To force the BlueSpray to connect to the local AP I changed its SSID to be unique in the area. I then setup the BlueSpray to connect to this new SSID.
After making these changes I haven't had any issue with station 1. Nor have I had any issue connecting to the BlueSpray unit over the network.
My experience could simply be a coincidence, so, I'd be interested to know if the network connectivity issues could have had this effect on station 1?
Thanks,

There is absolutely no affect of the wifi signal to the terminals. The wifi signals just keeps the unit connected to the network while the terminals are connected to a separate AC line from the power adapter.
Let's just keep an eye out for it.
