In my watering history for today it shows that 2 zones were watered…3 cycles of 6 minutes for each zone…by my math that would be 36 minutes of watering time. Why does Rachio say 86 minutes?

Completed Water all zones for 86 minutes with 3 cycles
Also wonder why the message says “Completed Water all zones” when really on two of the zones were run?
Kind of new at this, so maybe something is setup wrong?
Re the “Completed Water all zones” message, “Water all zones” is the default name for the schedule. I changed the name of my Flex sched to “Master Flex” and at least the log messages are a bit less confusing.
My guess is that there is some rounding/truncation going on such that the fractional parts add up to a few more minutes. Example: 6.5 * 6 + 23.5 * 2 = 86 minutes. I could be wrong, though.
@ldslaron Is right on point, our rounding convention is inconsistent. This is something we are working on to standardize so we don’t run into this confusion in the future!
