OK, I see quite a few people asking about being able to activate all zones for winterization blowout.
What I would like to see is the ability to configure a simple schedule such as 1min on, two min off or something similar for all the zones. I am a howmowner that has a smallish compressor, I blow out my own sprinkler system but my compressor needs a break between zones. It would be great if I could set the system up to run through all zones with a schedule like mentioned above.
Zone 1 on 1 min
off 3min
Zone 2 on 1 min
off 3 min
Zone 3 on 1 min
off 3min
Zone 4 on 1 min
off 3 min
repeat times 2
Yes I Know I can manually run them but it would be nice to be able to set it and let run through the program
Hi @Juice!
Finding a better way to toggle through zones is definitely on our radar, it has quite a few applications, including winterization! Thanks for the feedback, I will make sure to get it in front of the team.

Yes, it was what I sought also, but I am afraid this not the only one awaited feature. But the Public API is our friend. I made a prototype script which is handle the cyclic zone trigger with parameterized duration and air compressor refill wait. If you interested to use please contact to me in pm.
For posterity and anyone stumbling into this topic, I threw together a web app to help winterize an irrigation system controlled by Rachio using an attached air compressor. It runs entirely in your browser and does not send your data anywhere other than Rachio.
I suggest using this on a computer (not phone) which is set to not go to sleep. Feel free to submit issues / suggestions in the GitHub repo (preferred) or here, though I can’t promise I’ll be able to make updates very often.
