Feature Request - Allow Zone Reordering #232
Comments
This would require a major change to the firmware and also the UI. There is a work around you can use, but it does require having some spare zones. The work around is to use multiple zone ports for the same physical valve. For example, let's say you have 4 valves, v1, v2, v3, v4, you can connect v1's zone wire to both zone ports 1 and 8; similarly v2's zone wire to both ports 2 and 7 and so on. It is such that zones 1 and 8 both activate the same physical valve v1; zones 2 and 7 both activate the same physical valve v2 and so on. Let's say in the morning you want to water in the order of v1->v2->v3->v4, in the afternoon you want to reverse it v4->v3->v2->v1, you can set two programs, the morning one will turn on zones 1, 2, 3, 4, and the afternoon one 5, 6, 7, 8. This will allow you to achieve the reordering, but it does waste some zone ports, and if you have a large number of valves you will need zone expander. |
As an update, there is an initial support for this feature in branch dev/221_1: |

it's not a support for arbitrary re-ordering, rather, it supports a few pre-defined zone ordering methods in a program, such as reverse the order, alternate the order (all odd-numbered runs forward, all even-numbered runs backward) etc. It can also order zone runs in a program sorted by zone names, or use a random ordering.

I believe this is a must have feature, in the global overview and per program. |
I know this can be accomplished through hardware (rewiring zones), but I think it would a nice feature to be able to reorder zones through the UI. For example, I'd prefer all of my front yard be watered in the early morning hours before heavy foot traffic, then my backyard can run after that for as long as necessary. However, the installer from the previous owner set it up for the zones to run in a big circle round my property.
Is that something that you could incorporate into a future update?
Thanks!
