    Hello, fairly new to this product, but so far, I am impressed with the product and the application. I am wondering if I missed something while programming though. I am wondering if I can make a program that allows all zones to be watered within that 1 program where all zones do not run at the same time? I looked through it and I can see that I can adjust how long a zone will run, but all zones will run at the same time which is not an optimal way of running a pressurized system. I have had to use all my (4) program slots to run all zones each day that I have chosen to water just to ensure that they are not all running simultaneously. Am I missing something, or am I doing this the way that is supposed to be done?

    Same. This is infuriating. I have a 16 zone XR and it only has 4 program slots. I did not realise this on purchase otherwise I would probably have gotten a different system with the ability to run all zones individually.

    There should be a program slot for each zone.

    You are right about it not being an optimal way of running a pressurized system. Also if you have low or sub optimal pressure to start with you simply can’t run multiple zones at the same time in one program.

    So for the only way I can run multiple zones individually is bypass the app and use Home Assistant or Hubitat to control the solenoid valves.

    As you said you either need to be able to run zones at different times in a program slot or have a program slot for each zone.

    This needs to be fixed in a future update.
