Can different odd and even watering schedules be set for each station (i,e,, odd on A and even on B)?

A and B are programs, not stations. One cannot set different watering schedules for different stations. This may be the only drawback of the Timer.

Technically you can set them all to go off at the same time but I find the water pressure isn't what I need to do that in my garden. So... I run each zone or two at different times. Hope that helps answer your question.

I'm sorry Jose -I can't help you as I am not an irrigation expert.... My system is easy with only 3 stations. There might be something wrong in your programming....??

In settings there is the ability to set a different program for each individual day of the week. However, we do not use our thermostats with that function, so I can't say how functional the feature is. Overall though, we have been very pleased with these thermostats (we have 6 in our church) and have found Motison to be exceptionally responsive to inquiries. You may want to contact them directly - we have found that a live person has always answered anytime we have called them.

Yes to both of your questions! It also has a feature called cycle and soak, which will divide your total run time up into smaller cycles, giving the soil time to absorb. A great feature for getting the most watering out of your water restriction days. Since you are only running two or three days a week, you'll just set your run times higher then you would if you were running every day. That way when the software adjusts down for weather, it's not decreasing your watering too much. We love ours so much!

Yes it will. You have a couple of options for this. You can water a single station by turning the dial to that station and then press the "Water Now" button. It will start watering for 10 minutes, but you can easily adjust the time with simple up and down arrows. Or, you can simply press the "Water All Stations" button and the system will cycle through each station, watering them for 10 minutes per station. Again, you can adjust the length of time with an up/down arrow buttons. I use these features fairly often, since the weather has been anything but consistent out here.

i don't quite understand your question but i can tell you that you can set many different on off scenarios which is awesome. In fact, i have two tree zones that i now turn on for 5 minutes each day then the other stations on fixed days of the week as normal controller. The app function is very nice as well. i hope this helps.

I believe so. I intend to just that in the near future. The independent lines will go to the Load 1 and Load 2 terminals. You can also put each on a separate timer schedule.

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.

The only issue you might have is that A & B can only be programmed to run consecutively on the same day. You cannot have A on every day while only running B on Thursday. That is a problem for us as we are restricted on which days we can water lawns, while flowerbeds are unrestricted. We 're still looking for the perfect 2 zone system that allows completely independent programming of each zone.

You can do both. If you want to manually water all zones, leave the dial on "Auto Run" and press the "water all now" button and at that moment all your zones would be watered according to the minutes you had set for each zone. It also waters each zone separately if you Do Not want all the zones to be turned on. All you have to do is turn the Dial to the Zone you want to turn on and press the "Water One Zone Now" button. It also lets you choose the amount of minutes to be watered.

Not specifically. You need to turn it on about the time you want it to go on for the next watering, let it run however long and then when it is done, set the timer for the next watering you want, i.e. 24 hrs, 36 hrs etc.

Yea, I'm not sure why it's worded like that but I have 5 stations around my house and use only one watering program. I'm sure if you wanted a creative watering schedule you could do it with tis thing.

You can run three stations, one right after the other but not all three at the same time. Each station can be consist of up to six sprinkler heads.

Yes. One can set the water frequency to: 8hr, 12hr, 24hr and every 2 days, 3 days, and 7 days (i.e., once a week). It is very reliable. We have ours set at every 24 hr.

You can set the frequency and duration of the watering cycle. For the larger plants you would place more watering lines to than the medium sized one. I would suggest doing an experimental run first and make adjustments accordingly before you actually need to be gone for 10 days. Also keep in mind humidity and temperature in the area where the plants are being kept because these can affect the water usage.

The model I have can be set to water every day, every other day, every third day, etc. However, since the date is not programmed into the timer, it won't know if the day is odd or even. You could set it to every other day, but you would need to adjust it at the end of a 31 day month to keep it odd or even.
