Real time

[wifi75]

Hello Stanoba, it is possible have display info in real time?
than it is possible add other information in other page, for exaple the temperature ?

Hi @wifi75, it's possible to show info but not in real time as cron has minimum interval one minute. If API offers temperature, it's possible too.

with the last version of opesprinkler not work, and I don't know how fix it

It's difficult for me to update code as I switched from OSPI to OS 3.0 and I don't have a rig where can I test result. Give me few days, maybe I will figure something out.

ok I will wait

@wifi75 Given that Stanley doesn't have an OSPI setup to work with at the moment, you may have an interest in an offshoot I'm working on that addresses your original question. I wanted a version that immediately updates the display when the OSPI does things, without having to poll the OSPI for status.

To accomplish this, I added MQTT support. This essentially uses OpenSprinkler's MQTT support to notify the ospiLCD.py script that OpenSprinkler's status has changed -- making the status change on the display happen right away. The only possible downside is that this requires an MQTT server (broker.) The good news, is that it is simple to run an MQTT server on the Raspberry PI, and I've written a tutorial to set it up. It's working great for me.

Since I appreciate @stanoba 's appraoch to his ospiLCD.py script, I didn't try to branch his project further and encumber it with MQTT requirements and the other directional changes I keep making, so I created a new repo called ospiLCD-mqtt to work on.

If you (or @stanoba) are interested in this functionality, you can check it out here: https://github.com/sirkus7/ospiLCD-mqtt
