Got new grass. I want to water 3 mins each zone, every 4 hrs - total five zones, 15 mins. So I created a Fixed Schedule with the following parameters:
- Type: Fixed Schedule
- Interval: every 4 hrs
Zones: z1, z2, z4, z5, z6 (zone 3 skipped on purpose)
Times: Start after 7:55 PM
Watering duration: total time 15 min
Start/End dates: Yesterday - Never
Cycle ans Soak: none.
So with those values, I would have expected for the schedule to run as follows:
- 11:55 AM
- 03:55 PM
- 07:55 PM
- 11:55 PM
- 03:55 AM
- 07:55 AM
But when I check on the app on iPhone, I have this:
Mon 09/23
New Seeding Schedule - 07:55 PM - 08:10 PM
New Seeding Schedule - 11:55 PM - 12:10 AM
Tuesday 09/24
New Seeding Schedule - 03:55 AM - 04:10 AM
New Seeding Schedule - 07:55 AM - 08:10 AM
New Seeding Schedule - 11:55 AM - 12:10 PM
New Seeding Schedule - 03:55 PM - 04:10 PM
New Seeding Schedule - 07:55 PM - 08:10 PM
Wednesday 09/25
New Seeding Schedule - 03:55 AM - 04:10 AM
New Seeding Schedule - 07:55 AM - 08:10 AM
New Seeding Schedule - 11:55 AM - 12:10 PM
New Seeding Schedule - 03:55 PM - 04:10 PM
See the problem ? on 09/24 - there is only 5 runs. The run that should start 11:55 PM to 12:10 AM is missing . And I chose 07:55 as initial time to check if there was some kind of algorithm issue - I had set it for 08:00 PM (start time) and same issue happened: on 09/23, I had a run for 08:00 PM. On 09/24, 12:00 AM, 04:00 AM, 08:00 AM, 12:00 PM, 04:00 PM, 08:00 PM. Then 09/25 at 04:00 AM, 08:00 AM. Again, the 12:00 AM run on 09/25 was “lost”
I deleted and recreated the schedule multiple times - always the same issue. My controller is a Rachio Gen 3 (8 Zones) running firmware iro3-firmware-hk-5-615.
