This release is primarily to fix a bug whereby a solar control unit changes to offline mode if the wake button is held down for longer than 3 seconds ( ie kept held down during the wake rising tone AND then on to manual watering ).
Additionally:
- Solar boxes used to go to sleep almost immediately after being first turned on ( to save power ) but this was confusing for new users who weren't aware about the box needing to be woken up. Now, when first turning on, the box stays awake for 5 minutes. Longer if you interact with the control panel.
- Remote boost feature was intermittent when boost times were over 250 seconds
- A feature has been added to clear the "last watered" time for zone 1 and zone 2. This time is used to prevent more than one timer-based watering each hour, and to prevent overwatering when using sensors. For testing, it's handy to be able to reset this time.
- There was a bug whereby when soil moisture sensors were chosen to be used for watering, but were sending invalid data, any timer based watering did not work. Now timer watering works, ignoring any bad data coming from soil sensors. Valid "already moist" sensor data is still used to stop timer watering if necessary.
