Rearranging zones?

I do enjoy my Netro, and the app makes things pretty handy.  I do have a couple of questions.


Are there any plans to allow the software to rearrange the zones in a watering cycle (or is that already available and I am just missing it?)  Right now it seems I am stuck watering in the order I have wired the controller.  It would be nice to water one zone, let that soak in while watering another zone, then come back and water a third zone that is adjacent to the first zone.


Another question I have is - is it possible to copy a schedule so that I do not have to set each of the 5 zones for every schedule.  There are times when I would like to run a one time schedule that follows my normal dry schedule,  or follows my moister schedule.

Hi Kurt,


Thanks for contacting us. To rearrange the zones in a watering cycle, you can create programs in Settings->Programs.  You can create a program, and add zones one after one to change the default sequence.

To copy a schedule, you can also create a schedule and select your zones so this schedule will apply to selected zones. Please let us know if you have any further questions.


Regards,

Netro Support

To bump this, I have created programs for different times of the day and there does not seem to be a way to change the order of the zones. If I select zone 1 & zone 2 or zone 2 and then zone 1, it will always setup zone 1 to water before zone 2. I would need to manually create seperate programs for each zone and set zone 2 to come on at a time X number of minutes before zone 1 if I wanted to change the order.

Unless I too am missing the obvious here?

Hi Ian,

Normally if you select zone 2 first and then select zone 1, Netro will water zone 2 first then zone 1. We suggest you deselect all the zones first, and then select zones one after one to change the default sequence.

Please let us know if it works. We can also help you set the programs from the server side.

Thanks,
