Users / Poor man's Sprinkler System

« on: June 21, 2009, 12:12:39 am »

Here, I will be documenting the build of a poor man's sprinkler system. What I mean by that is:

1. Hooks up to your outdoor spicket
2. Be able to control it via LMCE
3. Keep the cost low
4. Make a solution that can be used both 110/220V and 50/60Hz
5. Not have to dig up your yard to install it

Ideas: Use a Z-Wave, X10, or Insteon device to control it through an appliance controller. Could also use it through a wifi connection. If I can get this to work right, I might try to sell some kits and pre-build them into a case or something similar. Many hours of research is needed.

If you guys have any ideas, please post here. I know there are some of you that don't want to have to dig up your yard to have a programmable sprinkler system. I know that there are those battery powered timers, but what is the fun in that if you can't control it while sitting on the couch, or at work, or anywhere.

Users / Asterisk Issue - Cannot write to sip.conf, retrieve sip.conf in 0810

« on: June 13, 2009, 07:29:12 am »

I just reinstalled 0810 on my core, and I tried to setup my phone lines. I used the webadmin to input the voip settings using the sipgate hack because my provider isn't on the list. I went to FreePBX to see if it took and to change the sip.conf a little, and it gives me those two errors. When I try to manually apply configuration changes, I get this error log:

Anything I can do at this point? Looks like permissions, but I am not for sure. This didn't happen last time I installed, a little over a week ago.
