My iro is connected to my PWS and it shows current rainfall and there was no rain delay. I had to manually set a rain delay this AM. Do I need to get a wired/wireless rain sensor? why is the PWS rain gauge not tripping a rain delay? Please look at my account and let me know what I may do to make this situation better.
I noted that there was a rain delay imposed yesterday however, it was very warm and I am working with a new lawn and it needed irrigation.
Hi @leeowen, good afternoon. Any chance you could email our support team [support@rachio.com] to review your account? I’m curious if the PWS is reporting incorrect data to our weather service API.
Thanks, Emil
Just happened again. PWS reports .22 inches on pwsweather and system has no rain delay and kicks on…not what I was hoping for in a internet connected irrigation controller. Especially since I went to all the trouble and expense to connect my PWS to the net to make the connection to the Iro. I could have accomplished this with a $47 rain sensor it would seem the iro does not update very frequently to PWS WEATHER.
Hi @leeowen, good evening. I just checked your account. I don’t believe the watering time that just run had Weather Intelligence enabled. I’ll follow up with you on support. I can post screen shots if you’d like.
Thanks Emil, you in fact are correct I did not have weather intelligence enabled on those schedules. I have 3 identical schedules due to my new lawn settings. After changing the settings things seemed to work better yesterday and several schedules were skipped. Love it when stuff works and I can eat my words!
