Very good tutorial, explained very well. Simple, concise and easy to understand, thank you.

Fantastic video. Thank you.

Ty, just had installed today 🙏🙃

Do you have to push the 2 buttons to save the program settings? What happens if you don’t? Also if I have program A and B should the monitor show both the A and B when not running? Thank you

[@shanew7361]

If the knob is turned to off can I still log into the application and run zones independently or a program?

[@ASAA-hv2hi]

Thanks for the review! I am wondering if you can tell us how to reset it to factory settings?

How do I get past 6 programable start times? I want to set my station 7-10 on automatic start times but it won’t let me do more than 6.

[@adamhargis7923]

I'm having the same issue

[@en2oh]

thanks for sharing this. One thing that is not clear to me is how pgm A, B, C and D interact (if they interact at all). Will the system only execute the program that it is on is if set to A, it will only execute program A? I'd like to know how to run some parts of the system every day, but other parts on alternate days. ie the drip lines for the planters every day but the lawn only 3 times per week. Is that possible? Tnx

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, you can write all 4 programs and have them all running with A program being priority, B second and so on. Yeah, set up your drip irrigation on program A everyday with a start time and run time on the zone. Set up your turf zones on program B to run 3 days a week with time on those zones. Both programs with run as set up. Hope this helps!

So is there a way to only run 1 program at a time? For instance program A for summer and then program B for fall

[@jtatherton7627]

Please explain in the water days function, the Cycle and days remaining screen. I am trying to water my years every night, and have individual added or turned on for this but if you scroll past those screens you get to the Cycle and Days remaining screen. How do you turn this function off or set it to "0" days, so the controller will allow watering every night as programmed instead of skipping days, minimum of 2 days??

[@prchewwin23]

Once I set the start times and water days do I need to press anything to save?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, no it is saved as a program, but don’t forget run times.

[@dginta7932]

Have you found any fixes for the glitchy Android program? The program won’t load the individual zones on Android phones, so a person can’t do a manual water from a phone.

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Unfortunately, the lnk wi-fi with rain bird is very glitchy. Make sure the controller is not connected to wi-fi with a vpn, and delete and reinstall the app. Hope this helps!

what if i dont want the "cyclic programming " active on my esp-me3 controller

[@victordoom-py3vr]

So once you program it, do I turn the dial back to auto or leave it on days?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, always turn the dial back to the Auto position.

Como puedo fijar el tiempo a la estacion 7 - 12 si solo me permite fijar hasta la 6 en opcion start time

[@gregrichards3084]

how do I reset/clear a program?

[@SchepersLawnSprinklingSystems]

Hello, the easiest way is to remove all the start times and remove any run times on zones. Hope this helps!
