Not for me. My front yard went dormant. I had to drop any flex, weather predicting reactions and saturation estimation. This summer is not unusual for the Kansas City area, we’ll have predictions of rain every week and it doesn’t rain. So the Rachio was not watering for over a week. This is a new house, new yard.
I started running quick runs to get it every other day, then every day. So I just disabled those and set an every day schedule. The back yard recovered but the front didn’t, not until the last week or so, when it cooled off, it’s starting to be ok. I just aerated and over-seeded, I’ll be okay next year.
I do want to understand the flex daily thing better. I understand and like the idea but this year at least, it didn’t work. I have a weather station, with a rain sensor. So my weather station new that it didn’t actually rain, for weeks. I would like it the system would use that rain sensor to override weather predictions.
