Confusing Home Screen

post by djm on Sep 22, 2023

I am new here, just got and setup my Rachio 3 this week. I find the home screen confusing…

Today is Fri 9/22…

The screen starts at 10/1.

That’s ok, seems it is going backward…

9/30, 9/29…

ok now it seems to switch to days of the week, thur… mon…

Monday takes me to the 9/25

10/6??? Weird

Skips a day. 10/4, What???

now back to 10/5… this makes no sense

on top of that, still wondering what happened to 9/23 and 9/24

Scrolling to the right, shows me those days

At least now all except 10/2 is there!

Is this normal?

This is a known problem with the website. It should show correctly on the apps.

Can Rachio just remove this from the web Home Screen? There are countless threads about this and it is really a lot of unneeded noise at this point around the community.

Sorry for the repeat. I did search, but didn’t see any other threads on this. But I do see some now that I changed the terms I used.

Refreshing the page puts the dates in a different order each time. As a developer, I had to take a look. Looking at the results for /location/getCalendarForTimeRange it does appear to get the json back in the correct order. So it appears the sorting gets messed up somewhere…

This made me so frustrated, I fixed it with a tampermonkey script… It would likely have been easier, if your code is open sourced. This is not the best code, but works.

To be honest my comment is not directed at you, but at Rachio. I understand they do not want to put any more time and effort into the web app, but when things start breaking they should at least be removed. This is just messy on Rachio’s part.
