Integrate with weather reports (built in to OpenSprinkler).

Add functionality to the irrigation system.

Control the irrigation system from the web.

Don’t lose any functionality from current Rainbird irrigation system.

If you are looking for a first project, do this one. This is the perfect home automation project. This instructable simply documents my progress in Home Automation. OpenSprinkler doesn't need an instructable.

It is an easy and low-cost solution to transform a Raspberry Pi into a capable sprinkler controller with 8 zones for lawn and garden watering. OpenSprinkler Pi (OSPi) is an open-source sprinkler / irrigation extension board for the Raspberry Pi. I updated it JUL2021 to use latest build and newer hardware. The computer must be on the same network as the Raspberry Pi.This instructable was published in 2015. This will access the OpenSpinkler web interface.

Open a browser on your computer to, where hostname is the name of your Raspberry Pi.

If it returns nothing, then something went wrong check the previous steps. You can test with pgrep OpenSprinkler If it returns the process id number, then OpenSprinkler was started automatically and is running.

Reboot your Pi and OpenSprinkler should be started automatically.

Go ahead and run the executable to test it. If it compiles ok, you should have an executable /usr/local/OpenSprinkler/OpenSprinkler ready to go.

Since this is a Raspberry Pi Zero, I did not connect any monitors or keyboards to it. The SD card that I suggest comes pre-loaded with a 'lite' version of Raspian. The web page is accessible only on my home WiFi network. To schedule my sprinkler system, I access a web page served by the Raspberry Pi on my home network. In this project, I took a new Raspberry Pi, installed OpenSprinkler on it, and used a simple relay board to trigger my home sprinkler system. Replace the old sprinkler controller in your garage with a web-page based Raspberry Pi controller.
