Delay programs on weekends

[rjalex]

Dear friends,
I am so happy about OS and thanks to Ray, Samer and all other tinkerers out there !

I have setup 3 of my lawn sectors to sprinkle my Stenotaphrum Secundatum (St. Augustinegrass) early in the morning.

This is fine on weekdays since I need to get up for work but as the watering produces noise in the pipes which reach my bed 🙂 it would be soooo nice if ALL of the programs on Sat/Sun could be shifted for say one hour so I could sleep a little more 🙂

Lazy !

PS Before someone suggests, my current schedule for the lawns is “every 4 days” or “every 5 days” and I’d rather not use a “Monday and Thursday schedule” as a close approximation of the 4 day interval if possible

Hi, this is an interesting idea, and it’s in some sense similar to the 5+2 programming on many thermostats. At the moment we do not have plan to add this feature. Normally if you have a weekly program, you can split it into two, which would allow you to use different start times on weekends. But if I understand correctly, you have a interval day program, which you can’t easily split since the firmware doesn’t keep track of the day of the week for interval day programs.

That is correct Ray. I have some programs set as “Water every 4 days” and when that falls on Sat and Sun it acts as an alarm waking up family.
