Living in the Bay Area, the precipitation varies from one city to another. I’m ~6 miles from my weather station and rainfall in that short distance can vary. I’d like to be able to see how much precipitation my weather station has actually seen (maybe send an alert the day before a scheduled watering) and have the choice to skip that watering cycle. I’d also like the ability to adjust the window (24 hours or more on either side of the water day) that’s looked at to determine if it should water or not.
Basically, I’m asking for more flexibility and control. I don’t like getting an email, after it’s already watered, saying Rachio detected 0.12 inches of rain and my threshold is 0.125 inches. I wish I would have known so I could have said skip it.
Flex daily doesn’t adjust the length of the run, only frequency. If it runs after a minimal rain, it will just push the field capacity above 100%, which will take longer for it to get back down below allowed depletion, hense longer interval between watering.
