If I understand it correctly, you want Valve 1 and 5 to run at the same time, so are 2 and 6, 3 and 7, and 4 and 8, right? I don’t think there is an easy way for the current firmware to perform this. One solution is to use 4 programs: basically set all valves as parallel (non-sequential) stations, and have valve 1 and 2 in the first program, start at 8:00, run for 20 minute; then valve 2 and 6 in the second program, start at 8:20, run for 20 minutes, and so on.

What you described would be possible if we have the concept of ‘sequential groups’ — where valves in the same group are scheduled sequentially, and valves in different groups can run in parallel. This isn’t supported in the firmware yet.

We are currently away till Monday July 21. Orders placed during this time will be shipped on Tuesday July 22. Thank you for your understanding!
