Disable flow meter for winter?

@Bytored I’m going to have the support team look into your issue. You should be receiving no low flow alerts unless a quick run or scheduled run is happening.

We Pause the Regularly Scheduled Program to Bring You This Important Message About New Alexa Features

“Alexa, start party mode”

Created New Flex schedule with measured inputs; expected a different outcome

@Mike4 I just wanted to confirm that you have Cycle and Soak turned on. Pretty amazing soil if you are still getting runoff.

Inconsistent flow readings and warnings

Turn off Auto Shut Off so that even though your zone may trigger it will not shut off automatically.

@tygunn I’m hoping I can provide a last effort towards getting the Flow meter to work for you. This is going to require some troubleshooting, so I want to make sure your good to go through the process. Can we make sure that the device is showing “Connected” with a good signal strength?

Change grass type

Go to the zone and click edit, then you can select Zone Type and change to Cool Season Grass.

Leak Detection When Not Running

@silverfox9142 it’s in beta right now, but I need your S/N to turn it on for you. Can you please send it over via DM?

Flow meter install success!

@Aquaman30k A fellow Houstonian! You probably have a better chance of fire ants destroying the Flow meter than freezing. But I appreciate the effort
