7.1 Program Data
Click on the + Add button at the upper-right corner to create a new program. Each program contains the following data:
Basic Settings
●
Program Name: a custom program name, up to 20 characters.
See the next page for special program names.
●
Enabled: program enable flag. Default is enabled.
●
Use Weather Adjustment: when checked, the % Watering
applies to all station water times in this program. Default is on.
●
Start Time: the first start time of the program (e.g. 8:00 AM).
Also supports sunrise or sunset time +/- offset as start time.
Program Type
●
Weekday: program will run on the selected weekdays.
●
Interval Day: program will run every N days, where N is between
2 to 128. You will also need to set the Starting in days. For
example, a program that repeats every 5 days starting in 0 day
will run today, and every 5th day from today. A program that
repeats every 3 days starting in 1 day will run tomorrow, and
every 3 days from then.
●
Restrictions: odd/even day restrictions. Odd day means the
program will run only if it’s an odd day of the month (except the
31
st
, or Feb 29
th
). Similarly for even days. Default is no
restrictions.
Station Water Times
●
Set the water time for each station. A value of 0 means the
station will not run. The range of water time is 0 to 64800
seconds (18 hours). Unlike previous firmware, this firmware
does not use compression of water time anymore, so it allows
full precision in units of seconds.
●
Also supports sunrise-to-sunset and sunset-to-sunrise
durations.
Additional Start Times
There are two choices of additional start times:
●
Fixed: up to 3 given additional start times. Any time of a day.
●
Repeating: repeating start times at regular time intervals. For
example, repeat every 90 minutes for 7 times. This is useful for
breaking down long water times into shorter cycles. Unlike
previous firmwares, this firmware allows repeating start times
to go overnight to the next day.
