    Hi.
    I’ve noticed, that when rain delay is activated the information about it overlaps the information about sensor delay. I’d like to know if the rain that is “raining now” has already activated the sensor or not. It works fine when there’s no rain delay activated. But when it’s going to rain next day and the rain delay kicks in it covers the bottom bar and there’s no way I can find to check if the sensor is activated.
    Is there a way to get both these information when they are active?

    Could you please clarify how is rain delay activated on your controller? Do you manually set a rain delay, or do you use the ‘Auto Rain Delay’ weather adjustment method?

    It’s true that when rain delay and rain sensor are both active, the rain delay information takes the higher priority. This is mainly because both of them are essentially doing similar things, except ‘rain delay’ is usually issued manually by you, and delay by ‘rain sensor’ is automatic based on the sensor activation. For that reason, generally you don’t have manual delay and automatic delay on at the same time.

    If you need to see both variables, the best way is to pull the controller configuration, either by using Export Configuration, or by using our API script to pull the /ja endpoint. Either way, in the result, the rdst variable stores the rain delay stop time, which is a positive number if rain delay is active, and sn1 variable stores the sensor 1 status, which is 1 if it’s activated. As an example, check the demo site’s configuration data:

    I use Auto Rain Delay in opensprinkler settings (no zimmerman or ETo etc) and Apple as a Weather Data Provider.
