Unified controllers

It would be great if for someone like me there would be an option that unifies multiple controllers into just one home so that scheduling would be much easier and avoids multiple zones of different controllers run at the same time. When programming controllers in fact, I have to keep switching programming in various controllers to see if that time is not taken by another zone of another controller. Otherwise water pressure would be a problem if two or more zone are running at the same time in different controllers. 

I hope the message is clear and I hope it will be implemented in a future release as I don’t think it would be that difficult to create. 

Thank you!

Hi Gianluca,


Currently, the controllers are independent from each other.  Multiple controllers are not aware of each other now.
 
For users who have more than 12 zones, we are thinking about recognizing additional controllers as extensions, not as different units. When adding a second controller, it becomes zones 13-24, the third would be 25-36, etc. In this way, there will be no overlapping of watering times and users can see one schedule for the day and do not need to switch between controllers.
 
 
If you want to stagger your watering:
I think one possible workaround it to add restrictions, for example, you can tell one controller to only water on even days and the other one to water on odd days. Or one controller to only water before 7am and the other one only water after 7am.

If you have any further concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
