Hi Ray,

I meant the station delay, not rain delay. Greenie made another good use of the longer station delay. I do need a longer time to recharge the compressor during the blowout process. Would you please make this change in the next release?

Thanks,

Hi Ray,

I just updated the firmware to 2.0.7 but still seeing the rain delay can only be set to 240 seconds, not 65535 as you promised in this thread. Disappointed :(!

Would you let me know when can you be able to add this. I have been waiting awhile for this change.

Thanks,

No I meant Station Delay Time. Would you change it to 65535 seconds?

Thanks

99.99% of conventional controllers (Rain Bird, Hunter, Orbit, etc.) all have the rain delay setting in minutes. 0 to 65535 seconds also works, the only drawback with this is the slider bar in mobile app will be hard to use because of the big range.

Same here. The native app doesn’t seem to have the rain detected status. Salbahra, do you have any plan of adding this feature to the app?

Thanks,

I can change the code but don’t want to keep making the same change every time the new firmware is released. In general, the station delay time should be in minutes not seconds. Would you make this change in the next release? I’m looking forward for a new release with the features we discussed.

Keep up the good work Ray!

Thanks,

Salbahra & Ray,

Thanks for your replies. It makes sense. I will do odd/even + select all days. I’m playing with the system in the last several days and liking it a lot. A couple more questions though:

1. My system is running on well water so I need to delay each station in a program by 30-60 minutes for the well water to replete. How can I do that? The Station Delay setting is only 4 minutes (240s) which is not even close to what I need.
2. How the rain sensor work? I hooked up my rain sensor with normal open option checked; wet my rain sensor to simulate rain but the program is still kick-in and running as scheduled. Does the Manual Rain Delay setting playing any part of this?
3. Does the firmware keeps a log of past station actives? If it does can we access it?
4. Does the firmware utilizes the weather data to control the future watering schedules? For instance, if the weather predicted to be >50% (a configurable %) rain tomorrow then all scheduled program today should be cancelled…

Thanks,
dnnn

Salbahra,

Thanks a lot for a quick respond. Changing the interval to a big value works. I don’t think we need the interval with this comprehensive program – it just creates more confusion.

My next questions are:
Why do we still need to select days of the week when I already specify odd/even days for my schedule?
Can we specify duration for each station in a program? Without this I have to create one program for each station
