I have some fixed schedules for my zones. Due to the number of zones, I have them split between early morning, and late morning, with a gap in the middle of when we get ready for work.
I have noticed for the last couple of days that my schedules are not starting when scheduled, but rather start 20 minutes late. I look at the history, and it shows the schedule “starting” at the correct time, but the actual zone watering start time is 19 minutes after the official scheduled time. As a result, the sprinklers are still running when I want to start my shower… Same thing happened in the 2nd scheduled set, sprinklers started 19 minutes after the official start time.
Any thoughts?
Update: Wanted to add that I am using Rachio 2nd Gen devices. Both seem to be having the issue.
@kbonnel can you post a screen shot of your history that shows when the scheduled run started and a screenshot of the same schedule set up that shows the specified start time? That will help in trying to diagnose the issue.
@kbonnel Yeah, I see what you mean. Both schedules actually started watering 19 minutes after the schedules started. In the setup for the schedules is schedule 1 defined to start at 3:30am and schedule 2 defined to start at 8:00am? If they are I don’t have any suggestions, but perhaps others here will have a better idea.
Temporary fix so that you can get your shower at the right time is to move the schedule 20 minutes earlier. At least you could enjoy your regular shower time until someone figures this out.
