Overall decent:

Update: I just figured out in the app how I can change the setpoint triggers for the weather shut off. Seeing how much can be customized in this app makes me realize how nice it really is. pretty cool app and overall very functional. 5 stars

Just installed this system and first time using it. Overall decent but why is the cutoff temperature for suspending watering set at forecasting below 68 degrees Fahrenheit? Where I live, it can be 60 at night and 90 during the day and NEED water. This suspends watering when it’s still way above freezing. The cutoff temperature should be the same as freeze sensors right around 38 degrees. Please update this.

Hi 385531299432, thanks for you rating and comments. We're glad you love the App.

The Suspend watering trigger is based on the forecast Maximum temperature of the day not the minimum.

New App made the system buggy and fails to show flow rates and current properly

With the new app refresh, many of the features I relied on to manage the large system for my commercial site are either removed or broken. 1. Flow history is no longer a graph that was easy to understand. The flow usage that showed the gpm at the sensor so you could compare previous sessions and compare zones is now gone. 2. Water report is missing data on some zones. Reports->Watering some zones near the end of the list (using the EZ decoders) will omit the flow and current data. It seems random but is for sure a bug. 3. There is no way to know the flow rate anymore without doing math. How do I know how many gpm a zone is putting out? 4. The new app and the way it uses the data appears to have broken the website. The website and iPhone app are no longer of the same design language. The website uses the old system and support says the half-broken system flow graphs are going away. 5. Now that flow data is fragmented and broken, I get tons of fake flow alerts if I enable high flow or leak detection. And the reports are obviously broken with reports coming in at high flow of 2 gallons per minute on a system that averages 30. It appears the software quality team didn’t test their app on system like mine with a high zone count device with a flow sensor, master valve, and lots of EZ decoders. I miss the old app which wasn’t buggy and broken.

Decent app for a great controller, but I like the previous version better.

I’ve been using this app and controller for over a year now and found it easy enough to use. However the most recent new version seems unnecessary and more bloated, I much prefer the previous version and thankfully can continue to use it since the new version did not wipe out the old one! 👍
Perhaps my main gripe with the new version is that it increased the size of the zone icons on the home page meaning I need to scroll now to see my 15 zones. I loved being able to see all my zones in one view before; I could also tap on each zone and see when it was next scheduled and start or stop it easily; the new version launches a whole new page to do the same things that were in a simple box before. I played with the new version pretty thoroughly and see no real new features or functions added, just unnecessary changes to perfectly fine previous functions. Lastly, I much preferred the simple reports offered in the old version over the new version. All in all this new version feels more like a downgrade than an improvement.
