OpenSprinkler stations jumping straight back to OFF when ON command sent

After using the OpenSprinkler app to send a “stop all stations” command

The binding can send this same command, perhaps try using this in the rule instead of the sleep and see if that helps.

The lawn and veggie beds station runs on different logic to the other two, but the other two I always want to run in sequence.

Then you can setup a PROGRAM and openhab can tell it to run the program, this is how I do mine as I dont bother setting up all the stations, just use the programs and stations channels. Consider what happens when your wifi has dropped out or openhab is rebooting in the middle of when the watering is meant to be switching from one station to the next. Easier to offload this to the OS hardware and let it handle it.

I’ve had something of a search through the documentation, and I can’t find anything about using the binding to send an instruction to the OpenSprinkler to run a program, nor a “stop all stations” command. As it is, if I want to stop everything, I send an “OFF” command to my group of station items. Can you point me to how the capabilities you describe can be accessed?
