Master Valve only on specific zones

So almost a full decade and still no software update for such a basic function? I applaud the ingenuity of those putting together workarounds. It shouldn’t be necessary on a basic controller let alone a “premium” product.

I will just add to the vote that the master valve by zone option be added asap. Looks like I will have to turn it on whenever a zone is turned on regardless of whether needed or not which is not optimal. The controller I have on the wall right now has this option. Debating if I need to return the Rachio I haven’t installed yet or give it a try and see what happens.

Any update on when the ability to use or not use the master valve by zone will be. Seems many are asking for it, including me, and lots of workarounds are being created. Would be wonderful to have this option.

Thanks in advance.

My controller in my old house zones could be programed with master valve or without. And I used it. I am thinking of adding a NC relay to the one zone that does not need the master valve.
