Irrigation Reverse Order

Is there a way to run an EZ Flora irrigation schedule in reverse order without creating Actions for each zone with a bunch of delays?

Instead of zones 1-2-3-4-5-6

I need 6-5-4-3-2-1

Re: Irrigation Reverse Order

Switch the wires on the controller to reverse the valve numbering?

Re: Irrigation Reverse Order

This isn't a permanent change. Only as needed in the PM of certain months

During the Summer, zones 4, 5 & 6 are in the hottest PM areas, so I would like them to get water sooner than later.

I'm trying to avoid:

Zone 6 action

-delay [zone 6 run time + 1 min]
Zone 5 action

-delay [zone 5+6 run time s + 2 min]
Zone 4 action

etc

Just run two schedules, one with 0, 0, 0, 0, 20, 20, 20, 0 and the other to fill in where that one left off.

There is no built-in way to switch zone order.

Re: Irrigation Reverse Order

You might see if Berkinet's enhanced sprinkler management plugin might do what you want...

Re: Irrigation Reverse Order

I could probably easily add this functionality into Device Extensions which already adds other sprinkler functionality, I would have to look at it.

Re: Irrigation Reverse Order

Since zones can be started individually I found it not too difficult to have variables etc. handle
the timing and sequences, not using the EZFlora setup at all...with exception to the
longest time allowed.

This way I'm able to set specific times for each zone from a CP. The zone that starts after one has
finished can be set by a script or condition based on a variable.
