Help / Re: Running multiple valves simultaneously

« Last post by codymnelson on June 15, 2020, 10:18:23 pm »

This makes sense. I set this up as you suggested but i had one more hiccup.  At first i thought i did something wrong because i could only see one scheduled program on the calendar view for that given time. I changed the time of the one schedule a few minutes and then saw that indeed it was there but apparently the calendar cant handle showing concurrent schedules for the same time. Is that correct at this point?
Thanks for your help!

Help / Re: Running multiple valves simultaneously

In order to run multiple zones concurrently, you'd want to set Stack mode (Settings->Operation) to No, then schedule your programs to start at the same time.

Please be careful not to have 1 zone overlapping the same time.  The best way is not to repeat the zones in your programs i.e. if program 1 has Zone 1 in it, program 2 should not.

For example:

1. Program 1 has zones 1, 3, 5, 7 on for 10 min, others 0 min.
2. Program 2 has zones 2, 4, 6, 8 on for 10 min, others 0 min.

Help / Running multiple valves simultaneously

« Last post by codymnelson on June 04, 2020, 02:03:50 pm »

Hey,
I set up some drip zones with pretty low flow. I separated them in order to have flexibility of relative water application so i don't have to change flow rates on drippers to tune everything.  My well pump and pressure regulator aren't super exited about running one low flow zone at a time. The pump needs some flow to keep the seals cool and the pressure regulator is pulsing more than healthy.

My question is, how do I turn on multiple valves simultaneously? This is stated as a feature on the Bluespray website.

If they were all running for the same amount of time i could wire them together, but that defeats the purpose of splitting them up.
 
The only way I can figure out is to have each zone assigned its own program and schedule and then turn off stacking runs.  Having 8 zones to do this seems like it cant be right.  If i want to change the start time I have to edit 8 schedules instead of 1 which is cumbersome.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thank you!

General Discussion / Re: Firmware 2.2.2

The best way to upgrade is to go to Settings->Administration and click the Download button and let the controller do the rest.

You should not download the firmware file, then upload. That was for going from 1.x to 2.x firmware.

General Discussion / Firmware 2.2.2

I just noticed that Firmware 2.2.2, dated 10/30/2019, is available for download within the controller's GUI (Settings > Administration).

I'm happy to report that 2.2.2 fixes the bug in 2.2 that I complained of here:
https://www.bluespray.net/forums/index.php?topic=471.0

Warning: You cannot download it from <https://www.bluespray.net> because that page links to version 2.2 from 2018.

Your controller was either in Standby or Delay mode at the time.

Help / Water cancels Season/ Run Name not run: System suspended...?

« Last post by zipzit on September 11, 2019, 04:28:42 am »

I'm going thru my logs.  And I see entries like `Water cancels - Summer 5 Days per Week, Drip Irrigation - High Flow not run: System suspended`

Suspended?  What causes that?  If there is a power outage, does system revert to Suspended status?
