Best way to decrease watering in SOME zones?

The first place I’d suggest focusing on is the accuracy your zone configuration, since settings there will influence the recommended watering duration. Don’t be like me right as I started out and make the mistake of changing the zone details to get the watering duration/frequency that you’d like to see (whoops!).

If you’re happy with everything there, then experimenting with the existing duration (perhaps just for a single zone to start?) makes sense.
