Can you set two seperate times? For example front yard vs back yard at different time intervals?

Seth , I have had this a number of years now. . I recall that you can program a couple seperate on off times but you can't zone those times . I believe you will need two seperate units or a second timer of some sort that would switch the zones . You will have to research that concept.

If memory serves me, I believe this unit came with four clips, two for on and two for off...which means the timer itself has the capability of turning on and off twice each day. However, your example of "front yard vs backyard" isn't possible, as there is only one circuit on this timer.

I do not believe that two separate times can be set, but not sure. Recommend that manufacturer be contacted.

the unit comes with 2 on clips and 2 off clips. meaning they can go on and off twice in 24 hours. however there is only one set of terminals, so all the lights will respond at the same interval.

You can only program On-Off cycles so in your situation you can add 2 more like On at 9:59pm and Off at 10:00pm, On at 11:59pm and Off at 12:00am

Yes, you can set it to be on for specific times using an option in the Settings menu.

I believe that both the on and off time can be set to whatever you want. I use on a sunset and off at midnight. The sunset/sunrise times are programmed into it already. You just have to tell it where you live.

You can program it which way you want. For example monday 2 pm tuesday 5 pm not on wednesday etc. :)

Yes, with some limitations. You set your longitude/latitude and then enter a single "offset time", ranging from negative 3 hours, 59 minutes to positive 3 hours, 59 minutes. You can then program the timer to turn on at sunup, sundown, or a specific time. You also can program it to turn off at sunup, sundown, or a specific time. The offset time you entered will be added to the sunup and sundown. So the single offset time applies to both sunup and sundown. For example, if you set the offset time to -2 hours, then the timer can turn on/off 2 hours before sunup and/or on/off 2 hours before sundown. But you can't individually set the timer to turn on, say, 2 hours before sunup and 3 hours after sundown. Hope this helps.

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 think so, I don't set it..my gardener does. We have several zones on a different schedule though.

Not sure I understand your question but you can set it to run for a one time 2 hour period or program for multiple times during a week.

Yes, no problem. There's an A and a B program. You can set some zones for one and the rest on the other so they can run separate schedules. I do that with mine as well.

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.

The previous answer was right on - it won't directly but you can set ON time for dawn or dusk for your latitude or a set time, but not a combination to my knowledge. You can set it to go off at any time or at dawn or dusk [e.g., mine go on at dusk and off at 1100pm]. As the previous respondant noted, you simply set the time 30 min ahead of actual time, and it will go on 30 min before dusk. Of course, remember to add 30 to the off time.

Yes. U can set different times for each "zone" every day of the week, if I understood your question correctly.

You can stack 2 devices to cut the time in half. They are threaded on top and bottom. If you want more control look into a motorized device.

No. Only one zone will be active at a time (it's a water pressure issue really). You can set them all at the same time, but they'll end up running back to back.

I have never tried it, but see no reason you can't---just set Timer-1 at 4hrs.----T2 at 8hrs.----T3 at 12 hrs----all 4 timers are seperately controlled---this timer has worked great for me, hope this helps.

I believe you can do that, but I only used for single count-up timer. Sorry for not being able to give you a definite answer.
