Please don´t think I am crazy but although I haven´t upgraded to 2.1.6 yet, for some reason:
– the saving error bug is gone
– there is no boost time field in the options anymore
– my problem, that changes to the zimmerman parameters could not be saved is gone as well.All I did was a restart, but I doubt that this can be the reason.
Am I crazy? What happened?[even if I am crazy I am glad everything is working now]
Yes I can see that Zimmerman does have an effect, but only on watering duration of a run.
In this paper they stipulate that you shouldn´t increase the Irrigation Duration (as the grass roots can only soak a specific amount of water, more would be overwatering). They claim that the watering frequency should be increased inststead. Well, I am no Irrigation expert so maybe Zimmerman might already ba sufficient, anyway; on the other hand it seems quite convincing what they are saying.
What I would do: I would use the Zimmerman method and the “monthly modification factor” simultaneously (with lower Zimmerman Settings for Temp and Humidity and 100% for rain). So Zimmermann would determine the Irrigation Duration, taking into account the rain and the month correction would determine the frequency of the Irrigation (every n days).
As I said, I am not an expert at all in Irrigation, so this might be plain wrong 🙂I have sent the config to [email protected]
I have noticed one more thing concerning the options which may or maybe not related to the problem stated in this thread: When I modify the Zimmerman parameters, click on save in the parameter dialog everything is fine. But when I re-enter the parameter dialog (just after having closed it after saving) the old 100/100/100 values are still present. Even when I export my config, set the values to something different than 100/100/100 by editing the config in an editor and then re-importing the config the parameter dialog will still show 100/100/100. As the water level% display seems to have changed after importing the modified parameters I suspect that the parameter dialog is just showing the wrong values (always 100/100/100). I wonder anyone else can confirm this behaviour running firmware 2.1.5.

Hi Samer,
thanks for your fast reply!
Sorry I didn´t mention the details in my previous post, I am using the DC Version 2.3 with Firmware 2.1.5 (2).Thanks for the clarification concerning the weather location, that makes sense.
Really a great controller! I spend the last 30 mins looking at the android app watching the stations cycle throug the programs, thats really cool.
