I am assuming that if the local weather station gets rain and it doesn’t rain at my location my sprinklers will not run.
Is there a way to change it so my rain sensor is the one to use? Support mentioned changing the settings for the local weather station to send a do not water signal unless the amount of rain at the weather station is say .75in rain? That way it would definitely be raining at my house and my rain sensor which I believe defaults to .25 in as the cutoff signal?
The Hunter Rain-Clik has a dial, but I believe that is used to determine the evaporation rate/time for the device to reset to ‘dry conditions’. It opens/closes vents on the sides of the device. From what I’ve read, the Hunter Rain-Clik sends a rain signal to the controller as soon as it detects rain/moisture – no threshold to control.
I see that if I use Intelligent watering your system anticipates rain before or after my scheduled watering times. So if I have a Rain sensor and it rains 5 hours after I water my yard I would be better off just not using a rain sensor and use Intelligent watering right? i.e. no need for a sensor.
OK so my excitement to buy another gadget is working against me in this instance right? I am better off disabling the sensor or leaving smart intelligence on and the sensor on also?
I tell people if they already have a physical sensor it won’t hurt anything to have it enabled as well as our forecasting. It just helps in augmenting the data we already have. Also, if it did start raining during the schedule (forecast was wrong?) it will stop any running schedules.
