I just installed my new Rachio last night. Today I got all the zones configured and found out about the flex schedule webapp which sounded like what I’d want to use instead of the 3 scheduling options in the phone app.
So, I set up flex scheduling for 5 allowed days a week, excluding Wednesday and Thursday because those two days are the days that my mowers usually come on (one or the other).
So far so good.
However, when I look now in either the Flex webapp or in the app on my phone, all zones show “Will Water After June 7”. 2 weeks from now seems like an awfully long time for Rachio to decide my lawn can go before it gets its first-ever watering.
Checking moisture levels of all zones, they all show 0.00 moisture balance.
Why isn’t it scheduling a watering for any zone sooner than 2 weeks from now?
One thing I noticed when opening up the web app, my schedules showed a watering date of June 7th as well for a few seconds. After that my actual watering dates showed up. So maybe you have to let the app sit for a bit while it loads the data?
Something similar happeed to me, but the next day all zones watered and everything was correct. Just takes some faith to get used to Rachio versus timed based controllers.
