Are you planning to run a flex daily schedule (fully “automated”) or keep it simple with a fixed schedule, similar to what you had? If the latter, I’d say soil type isn’t really a concern. If you are looking to go with a flex daily schedule, might need to take a handful or two of soil and do a Mason Jar Test.
Also, something to keep in mind, small raised beds and pots like these are possibly going to need adjustments to force more water than any of the Rachio algorithms would normally put down. In the sweltering Arizona summers, those pots and small flower beds will get HOT, and dry out the soil WAY faster than if these were planted in the ground.
As for the emitters, I’m guessing you have something like this? Most likely, they are adjustable, usually between 0-10 gallons per hour (sometimes more). As you turn them, you can feel a click, and the rule of thumb is each click is 1 gallon per hour. It isn’t exact, but it is close.
