Feature Requests – zone delay by program and finish time

[bunker195]

Hi
Thanks for creating such a great system! I appreciate all of the work that you have put in designing hardware, software and managing all of the details of running an online store.

Just moved over from another system and getting things all set up.

There are only two things that my old system(RainMachine) had that I find myself wishing for with Open Sprinkler.

Not sure if these would be useful for others or not. But something for you to consider.

1 – add a delay feature to the programs themselves – I have one program that I’d like to have a delay between each zone – I use this to blow out the sprinklers in the fall. It takes a while for my compressor to refill between each zone. I can work around this by just changing the “station delay” in the fall and then changing it back to zero in the spring. Others might find it helpful if running off of a well and need to space things out for a longer running program that might otherwise the drain the well too much.

2 – specify a finish time for a program – ie finish 1 hour before sunrise or finish at 5AM, 5PM or whatever. I run off of a well and want the system to be done before we start taking showers in the morning so that we can have full water pressure in the house.

Thanks for considering!
