Smart Logic

This controller automatically adjusts its watering time based on an internally stored database of historic
weather conditions for your area, as well as current weather conditions. Create an automatic watering
schedule by setting watering times for the hottest period of the year in your area (most likely July
or August) and by entering your zip code. Once setup, the controller will use its internal weather database in
combination with weather sensors to automatically adjust watering amounts.

The controller will adjust each zones watering duration up or down by a certain percentage of the scheduled
amount. The adjustment percentages are shown
in the upper left corner of the screen. In this
example, all watering durations have been
reduced by 20%.If that zone had been scheduled
to water for 10 minutes, watering time is now
automatically reduced to 8 minutes.
