I’ve been watching the system run and it’s different every time. Why do some zones run and others don’t?
Set days and times are a thing of the past. Your new smart controller was programmed with your soil type, shaded areas, and whether your lawn is flat or sloped. With this information and the weather data it receives from the weather pod mounted outside, it calculates what zones need to run and for how long.
It’s raining outside. Why is my system still running?
Your rain sensor must collect enough rain to shut the system down. If your system has the weather pod, the program should suspend sprinkling after .04in of rain has been collected. Most other rain sensors will suspend after ¼ to ½ inches of rain depending on the setting.
