Watering a zone even when it rains

post by spaz on Jun 13, 2017

Hi,

I am researching the Rachio to see if it will work for my system.

I have a zone that waters plants under cover (a porch). Will the Rachio still water this zone if it detects rain in the forecast?

Thanks!

Hey @spaz!

You can create a different schedule for this zone, and disable our Weather Intelligence features. This way, it will water regardless of rain! I hope this helps, let me know if I can answer any other questions!

Same query about a zone that is under cover. How do I disable weather intelligence, just for this one zone?

Put that zone in its own separate schedule (Fixed or Flex Monthly) and then when you are setting that schedule up, you should have the option to disable Rain Skip (and any other Weather Intelligence option available).

Thank you Shaun, I’ll give it a try.
