Zone not stopping on scheduled run but will stop with controller stop button
post by stephallen on Jul 6
For the past two runs, zone 3 (sprinkler) isn’t closing when the schedule moves on to the next zone (drip lines). The drip lines run fine, but zone 3 stays on indefinitely and never closes on its own. Hitting stop on the physical controller closes it immediately.
Schedule is: zones 1, 2, 3 (1.5hr each) → drip zone 1 (4hr) → drip zone 2 (45min). No duplicate schedules. No errors or alerts in the app.
Based on stop working correctly, I don’t think it’s a solenoid issue so I’m wondering if it could be a wiring cross-connection between zone 3 and the first drip zone? Has anyone seen this before?

Exactly what does this mean? Does Rachio think zone 3 is running? What do you have to “hit” to “close” zone 3?
