I noticed my farmbot stopped watering on schedule. Looking at the logs, there are repeated farm ware installation messages going back several days.
Can you please give us a single toggle way to turn off your automatic updates? I have had numerous problems with the farm bot all caused by issues with your update process.
I think you prioritize new features over reliability.
@I_Kill_Plants We are doing a complete re-write of the update system this month because of the problems you mention. In the meantime, you can disable automatic updates as follows:
Hi thanks. I’ve updated to 12.0.1 and I’m still getting repeated installation of dependencies. That is preventing events from happening, so the farmbot is not watering, etc.
The following installations occur every ~7 minutes:

The logs look very normal right until that SSH session close at the end.
Seems the RPi3B just shutdown for some reason. Did it reboot automatically after that ?
Is FBOS regularly restarting at the same point ?
Can you re-flash the latest FBOS ( 13.1.0 ) onto a known good quality SDHC card to eliminate media errors ?
Those logs don’t show any peculiar errors- can you please start a new thread with more information about expected behavior, what’s currently happening and any other pertinent details such as the FBOS version and how you installed it. I will be happy to help once there is more information available. Thanks.
