Rainbird esp-me controller

Post by ken2736 » July 2nd, 2017, 9:20 pm

I was wondering if anyone can guide me in the right direction. In order to get 1" of moisture per week, I can only water a few zones per day. For example, I have 14 zones, I want to water zones 1-3 on Monday...zones 4-6 on Tuesday...zones 7-10 on Wednesday and so on. Anyone know how to set this up on a rainbird controller?
Thanks

I think you want to do separate programs for each set of zones.
For instance - Program A (zones 1-3) runs on Monday, Program B (zones 4-6) runs on Tuesday, etc. etc.

I think you might run out of programs though, my controller only allows 4 programs IIRC.

I don't have a RB ESP-Me - I have a ESP-SMT that I was researching on recently & I found the user's manual section to be helpful:
