I was hoping to use IFTTT for watering briefly on hot days. When the ambient temperature reaches a certain high temperature I’d like to run all or certain zones for a few minutes.
I can’t set it up to run a schedule as I’m only using flex daily schedules and it won’t let me select a flex schedule and the Rachio system won’t let me create a standard schedule that doesn’t run on any days.
Currently I can only do this by setting up a recipe for each individual zone.
If the IFTTT setup would let me select multiple zones with a checkbox instead of just one zone with a drop down that would be better.
Ultimately though, if I could create a standard schedule in Rachio that wasn’t scheduled to run any days but could be triggered by IFTTT I think that would be the most flexible option.
I’ve been thinking a lot about hot days and how to handle that. Appreciate you reaching out.
If you’re using IFTTT, you could setup a standard schedule that only runs one day a week for like a minute for each zone. That would get around the restriction of not allowing a schedule to run on zero days, and then you could use it with IFTTT.
@franz, I’m assuming we don’t have the level of control with IFTTT that he’s suggesting, right?
