OSPy Readme

An improved Python port of the Arduino based OpenSprinkler firmware.

Because the web interface is based on the original firmware, the basics described in the user manual are still applicable.

Installation

Preferred option (using Git)

(This option does support automatic updating.)

1. Ensure git is installed (and the git executable is in your path).
