Can each of the four 'zones' be independently programmed? Thanks.

Yes. It is not too tough at all. The most important thing about this device is to use new alkaline batteries.
270721
Yes, and it's pretty simple to do. Understand, though, that if you have a garden hose connected to one of them, that one would be set to Manual, leaving you three circuits for drip irrigation.
270722
Yes! I put a y faucet onto my existing faucet so the timer is on one side and a regular hose is on the other side.
270723
Yes, if they are each attached to separate hoses/lines. That's why I bought this unit. I am container gardening on a very large deck and bought 2 timers so I could have 8 zones.
270724
Yes, they can be independently programmed. The unit is a good splitting device for irrigation feeds.
270725
Yes, you program each zone independent of the other zones. We ran 3 zones on the timer and left one off the timer to be used with the hose.

If I understand what you're asking, the answer is no. You have three programs you can set. Each program operates independently of the other two in controlling the zones. Thus, like I have done, you can have a full watering for one program, half watering for another. Other options include setting things like every other day (or any other interval of skipping days), and one or more times each day (up to five times a day, I think). You can turn the three available programs on and off individually. Etc. You can also hook up a rain sensor like the one I got a Lowes (Orbit brand). This will cause any program that is set to run from automatically running if the sensor has determined that it rained recently. Works for my purposes. You can also control things remotely with apps for Android and iPhone. Also remotely via the internet by web browser. You just have to set it up with your router, etc. I suggested to the developers that they add a function to the control scheme. I thought it would be a good idea to add a slider or setting to each program that would easily allow one to vary the watering times as a percentage of the baseline. That is for example, if on Program 1, I had my baseline times set for each zone, I could easily modify that program to do 50% or 200%, or whatever, and all the zones would be reduced or increased accordingly. I didn't receive a reply.

I have this same question... do you know now if multiple sets can operate simultaneously?

Yes, you can use one remote to control 4 different section. Make sure the current rating is good enough for 4 session.

Sure. I do that at times. Just set up the one zone for a start time, a length of run time, and leave the other zones un scheduled.

Unfortunately no. You'd have to set it every three hours, it cannot be programmed to do more than 1 setting at a time.

Yes. You can control individual switches by setting an on/off time, or you can schedule for sunrise/sunset. You can also create groups/scenes to have several switches trigger at the same time, or based off the same trigger -- i.e., from a motion detector.

1. Press home key once2. Input numbers 85203. Press 1 for zone a4. Press 2 for zone b5 . Press 3 for zone c6. Again press home key to finish setting the zone

The zones allow independent timing on each, but only one date adjustment. You won't be able to operate different schedules for things like tomatoes (daily short water schedule) and new trees (weekly deep watering) off the same controller.

It is 2 zone system, but I haven't tried to use zone 2 yet. You could add a swith/splitter to Zone2 so you can split Zone 2 in two ways

If you are talking about a 6 station timer. You can operate each station separately. If you want to operate all the stations at the same time, you can do that by properly wiring the stations .I you want to run all at once, you don't need a 6 station timer! One station will do the trick.

You can run all zones or each one individual, where you have to turn it to the zone you want. It will run for 10 minutes and shut off
244519
Yes. Start the app, select the receiver, the 'zone' button will be in the lower left corner. Select it then select 'Zone 2'.

This 'kit' comes with a programmer that can control 4- separate zones and a 4- outlet manifold BUT only 2- zone valves. To control all 4- zones you will need to purchase 2- additional zone valves. Further, the manifold has a manual shut-off at each end, controlling the end outlets (the black knobby-thingys at the ends of the manifold). I have 4- zone valves with a 'Y' splitter on one end running to my garden hose (essentially 5- zones). It has worked well with the new controller all summer.

If you wanted to run all 3 at the same time off this unit it probably won't work, but if you understand your constraints and only operate 1 at a time you shouldn't have a problem. It may take you a few days to tune in your settings, so be prepared for that. Once you establish your settings you will be golden.

Yes, I think you can use each timer individually, but the timer is very difficult to figure out. You have to spend some time pressing buttons until you get it to do what you want.

Of course yes, you have a very granular control for all zones. You can get all info also directly from the supplier by contacting this mail: mark.rosen@roslen.com or by downloading the manual from the site http://www.roslen.com/support.html. Regards, Alberto
