Repeat Scheduling Function MUST Be Created

Schedules & Zones
1

Hi All. This topic is frequent and posting my email to Rachio support to push up on their radar. Phoenix AZ weather mostly predictive to the seasons. BLUF: Please create a repeating schedule where my seasonal settings for plant and lawn will run without the user having to remember to deactivate one schedule to activate another. This seems SO intuitive as function that it’s surprising not to see it on a premium controller like this. Email to support below. Please + 1 this to get it infront of product team to prioritize on their roadmap for updates.

Hi Rachio Team,

I know what I’d like my irrigation system to do each season. Is there a way for me to set the intervals and time amounts based on dates and then have the program run that cycle based on dates I enter in perpetuity, year after year? The app and web application seem to require and end date. I’d just like the watering schedule to change base on my input for the seasons and then repeat this again year after year.

Thanks for your help.

Mike

I second this request. I’m also in AZ and have to use 4 different fixed schedules throughout the year to optimize watering. I tried Flex but it fails miserably in our desert climate, varied plant species (including cacti), and soil conditions (no, I don’t have a lawn).

The problem is that the fixed schedule requires specific start/end dates that need updating every year. If I forget to do so, I run the risk of not watering during a hot period and kill my plants.

I would like to keep the Day/Month, but not have the Year. In this way my schedules would transition to the next without me needing to intervene.

Now if we got wireless moisture sensor integration none of this would be an issue…
