Note that rain delay seems to prevent the :>reboot program from running.

You can centrally manage more than 72 stations, but the hardware aspect will still be that many per controller. This will require you to log into each controller independently to manually set them up. It’s still a much better solution than using something from Hunter or the like. It is possible using the API to set up and centrally manage multiple controllers through automation to have as many stations as you desire, but that would most likely be a custom software solution.

By the way, I love the OP’s setup. Great job.

@Smartin sorry for the long reply. I haven’t been back here in months. I adjust for the weather by just keeping an eye on how the grass looks and adjusting the schedule. I created an Excel interface using VBA + curl to make it easier to switch up my schedules with the OS API. I keep seasonal settings on another tab, so I can just copy/paste and click to save to the controller. This has served me well for over a year now. It schedules a bit differently than the OS interface does in that the OS interface focuses when you want a program to start, but mine focuses on when you want the watering to be finished. I like to have all my zones done by a certain time in the morning and the sidewalk zones done earlier just to be nice, so it does the math to make sure it finishes exactly 6AM.
