Feature Request / Permit manual runs while controller in "Standby"

« on: May 09, 2017, 01:38:16 pm »

Suggestion: Modify controller status to permit “manual” watering while controller is in “Standby” Mode
Rationale: Often times only one Zone needs to run. Requiring that the controller be switched into “On” mode before allowing manual watering caused two undesirable effects:
1)   Programmed runs automatically start running in conflict with desire to only run one (some) zones
2)   Forgetting to turn controller back to “Standby” causes all programs to run until user mistake is noticed (e.g., during vacation, remotely running one zone then forgetting to return controller to “Standby” causes all watering cycles to complete continuously)

Feature Request / Lawn & Calendar View Modification Suggestion

« on: May 09, 2017, 01:36:34 pm »

Suggestion: Modify “Lawn View” and “Calendar View”, “Today’s Runs” to:
1)   Display today’s date and schedule in the weekly view vs. starting with following day’s view
Rationale: shows visual spacing of planned runs today
2)   Eliminate previous day’s completed runs from “Today’s Runs” listing
Rationale: user seldom cares about yesterday’s planned or completed events
3)   Display the “zone” number or name before the start time
Rationale: data as currently presented is almost useless without knowing what zone is scheduled to run. Clicking on the “P” is helpful but not for a quick look assessment
