I asked for it in June of 2022 along with larger font options. They replied that "they confirmed with developers it will be in the next release". They did add rainfall adjustment in that release, but still waiting on dark mode.

Drat. I did a full factory reset and it’s still not working. No voltage being sent anywhere. The 24v AC input works (of course or it wouldn’t power on). Any ideas?

Damages due to constant water pressure on the system

I have in-ground valves. To prevent this issue I tapped the main line and installed a pressure regulator and a drip irrigation line. The pressure regulator keeps the line from moving much water, but allows the pressure to drop after the pump shuts down. I stuck the drip hose in a bird bath and everybody’s happy. It wastes a small about of water, but I live on one of the largest aquifers in the United States. It evaporates and allows me to share water with other parts of the world! 🤪 I thought about a sprinkler head with the smallest nozzle installed (it would just run along with all my zones) but took the easy way out.

Absolutely- a must have! I am so frustrated by the user interface- it's  nothing short of maddening.  The simplistic features that qould fix it could be coded in India in about a week. Giving it one more update to fix these things, then BLASTING them on Amazon. My neighbor hates me for suggesting and installing hers. Darksky is always wrong, amd not being anle to input actual rainfall, or at the very least hardcode zone moisture level to reset the calculation is ridiculous.
