Wency,


I recently added a drip irrigation system to my potted plants.  I do not have a dedicated zone for these plants, but instead tied the drip lines to a sprinkler head watering part of my lawn.   This zone uses the smart zone feature and works well.   The potted plants are under my roof and never see rain.    If I add a program for this zone with a daily frequency and 1 minute duration, will it still activate if raining?   I want both the smart zone to work as well as the program to work, but always needing the daily, albeit short program to run independent of rainfall.


Am I asking too much?   Otherwise, I must add another zone / valve to my system.


Thanks in advance for your advice.

Netro Support Team,


Where do I find the calendar view?    Is it the schedule icon on the bottom of the home screen?


I simply want to view when my sprinklers will run in the future when using "smart watering", "level: advanced".


I find that trying to find answers to questions when I am limited to community postings is cumbersome.   A good detailed manual would be very beneficial.

Wency,


Can you add KTXHUMBL256 to Wunderground for me in Houston so my Netro can run off my weather station in my backyard.


Thanks,

I live in Houston.   We're having a month long heat water and our city has been raising water rates and they are now some of the country's highest.   Anticipating $1000+ next month for 10K sq ft yard.   Lawn very green with Netro (fully automatic).    How can I sacrifice some of my plush green so I can afford to buy gas?

Smart Watering Algorithm

How does the algorithm work?   Specifically how far into the future do it look at the weather forecast?   Is this limited to just the next day or can this be adjusted to look beyond tomorrow.    Using the smart system, my sprinklers came on this morning, even though the forecast calls for a 70% chance of 1 inch of rain in 2 days.    If I were controlling the system, I would not have watered, given the price we pay for water.
