AnonymousHello everyone,
I have the following question regarding the programs in the OpenSprinkler.
I have 4 circles for watering the lawn. I would like to run two of them in parallel for the desired time (30 minutes).
Start program 1 with two circles at 5:00 a.m. – 5:30 a.m
Start program 2 with two circles at 5:30 a.m. – 6:00 a.m
In addition, I use the Evapotranspiration (ET) weather control. For example, if this were to calculate an irrigation rate of 150%, then the irrigation time would increase by 30 minutes. This would mean that program one would not be finished at 5:30 a.m. but program two would already start. But my water connection wouldn't handle 4 circles. Is there a way that program 2 with the two circles will not start until program 1 is finished, even if the watering time has been extended due to weather adjustment?
Best regards and thanks in advance.
AdminHello,
in this case I would suggest reducing to TWO circles. Simply connect 2 solenoid valves to one connection each and activate the “Sequence” option in both of them.
Unfortunately, I don't see any other option here, because if you want to do this you would have to program “groups” with which you could combine the solenoid valves. The topic has come up several times, I'll create an issue with the development team, maybe it will be programmed.

Don't forget, OpenSprinkler is OpenSource. You can contribute too!
AnonymousGreat, thank you very much for the help. Then I will continue to check whether the change will be taken into account in one of the next versions.
As long as I do, I make do with appropriate program breaks, since the max of ET is 200%, as I've read.
Start program 1 with two circles at 05:00 a.m. - 05:30 a.m. at 200% of ET, the program runs until max. 06:00 a.m
Start program 2 with two circles at 6:00 a.m. – 6:30 a.m
I hope I don't have any errors in my thinking.
Best regards
