Wind Speed

Add lower wind speeds to the skip menu

I guess 2 mph (light breeze)2 not low enough for you? Mine is set to 20 mph and get enough wind that it would rarely run much below that. Also, my sprinkler heads are made for handling wind better. Just curious as I would guess it would be easy enough for Rachio to add lower, but they might want to know how low. I actually might be nice, depending on how they have it set up, if it were a slider style selection instead of a series of radio buttons.

Lower would help. I have a couple of zones that mist on one controller

I could see that, misting would just blow around with the wind.

Like @Thomas_Lerman said, how low would you like it to go? If it were any lower, I’d be afraid that you’d be back on here asking why your Rachio never waters. What kind of nozzles do those zones have? If you have zones that are misting that bad, I’d be willing to bet that you have a pressure issue. While spray nozzles are more affected by wind than any other nozzle, I’d think a light 10mph breeze shouldn’t affect properly working sprinklers that much…
