Don’t understand zone run times for Rachio 3

Zones with the same characteristics, like zones 1,2 will have the same duration. Zones with different characteristics will have different watering durations (unless you have modified to be the same). Cycle soak could actually run one cycle with the same minutes but it will ultimately water the full amount that is calculated from your zone characteristics. I included a picture of zones 1,2 showing the same characteristics.

I was just saying that sometimes its easier to add one or two zones to a flex daily schedule starting out since it is so dynamic and new. Let it run for a week or two just to get comfortable with it, make any changes, then add other zones. If you are comfortable with it running all of your zones right away then that approach can work also.

Hope this helps!

Same zones will have the same watering duration…
