One-Time Activations (OTA) are perfect for quickly triggering an irrigation event that isn't apart of your typical schedule or automation. These can be ran through the Pulse app or via the OpenSprinkler (OS) interface. For situations like internet outages or connectivity issues, running One-Time Activations locally through the OS interface is the most reliable option.

Running a One-Time Activation (Pulse App)

  1. Tap on the Open Sprinkler card on your dashboard.

  2. Go to the "One time activations" tab, then press the "Create" button.

  3. Set the timing for each station that you're looking to perform the activation on. Press "Run now".

  4. *Optional* You can save a One Time Activation by checking the "Save for the future" checkbox.

Running a One-Time Activation (OS Interface/Local)

  1. Log in to the Open Sprinkler dashboard. Enter the local IP address (located on OS LCD screen) of your device in your web browser. Make sure you're connected to the same network as your Open Sprinkler device.

  2. Press the "Menu" icon bottom right.

  3. Press on the "Run-Once Program" button.

  4. Set the run duration for each desired station. Once you confirm the durations, press the "Submit" button.

  5. If successful, you'll be prompted that the run is scheduled and your OS will be shown as active on the dashboard.
