API Schedule Duration doesn’t match UI/App

post by findaway on Aug 2, 2025

Per app: I have a schedule (#1-Lawn) with a Watering Duration of 14 minutes (ie 840 seconds). The Get Device Info API call returns a Duration (and Total Duration) of 865 (seconds). Why is this different ? Different API Durations happen for some but not all of the other ScheduleRules - can’t see what’s different about those schedules where Durations don’t match vs those that do.

What am I missing, or is this some sort of bug?

PS: What is name vs external name and Duration vs Total Duration
