Schedules - missing necessary old-school features?

[ltek]

@franz

No way to add a single schedule for specific times (like: 9am, Noon, 3pm)?
… Gardens, Lawn Seeing/Overseeding, Small additional amounts of water for specific zones, etc.

I need more context to understand the use case. We do allow creation of single schedules…you can use one time, disable, but still run ad-hoc if you would like.

More context, sure. These are not one-time use, they last weeks (over seeding) or 6-8 months long (garden) – Manual on/off defeats the purpose of buying Rachio. There are several use cases for this single feature…

1. Veggie Garden needs watering 2x a day
   Sun-down *cool after being beaten by strong afternoon sun, which also drys out the, far more exposed, soil
   Morning.
   Schedule should be: 7 minutes, twice at day at 8am and 6pm.

2. Over Seeding Lawn needs watering 3x a day
   need to keep seeds & soil moist all-day, never dry out. different places on earth have different sun patterns and lawns have different shade situations so users need ability to set the exact times, not simply every N hours.
   my situation will be different on Front yard vs Back yard, back gets far more shade until late afternoon so it get beat with hot sun. front is opposite.
   Front Schedule: 5 minutes, 6am, 2pm, 8pm.
   Back Schedule: 5 minutes, 10am, 4pm, 8pm.

I’m sure other users have other use cases, as well as these. These are things I could easily do with SkyDrop and other controllers.

Hope this is help.
