I located Rachio Minimize Water Hammer setting that open next valve about 10 seconds before closing. I’ll do some adjustments and testing to confirm the feature has impact when using API vs their schedule feature.

I tested and confirmed that Rachio irrigation controller will only let one zone be On at a time. Therefore, I removed the zone Off commands as it turns off last zone when turning on the next zone.

Thanks @IndyMike and @dbwarner5. Paul

Thanks for your insights and feedback. 1. I'm using that to show process, and I plan to have multiple variables that are calculated and adjusted by a program before this program runs. 2. It is municipal water.

@IndyMike Thanks for helping me understand it does not have to look so odd. Does the following look right? I've updated it down to the point of the Zone called Front Left and for readability here I've added color coding and line breaks to clarify what is required for each zone: On Set minute counter Repeat loop for timing Off Irrigation:Entire Yard If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $Water_Today_Start_I = 'Flume Water / FlumeWater / Flume Sensor' Today US gallons Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Start '$Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Minutes' $Minute_Counter_I = $Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Repeat While $Minute_Counter_I > 0 Wait 1 minute $Minute_Counter_I -= 1 Repeat 1 times Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Start 0.0 minutes Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Right' Start '$Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Minutes' $Minute_Counter_I = $Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Repeat While $Minute_Counter_I > 0 Wait 1 minute $Minute_Counter_I -= 1 Repeat 1 times Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Right' Start 0.0 minutes Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Left' Start '$Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Minutes' $Minute_Counter_I = $Irrigation_Run_Minutes_I Repeat While $Minute_Counter_I > 0 Wait 1 minute $Minute_Counter_I -= 1 Repeat 1 times Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Left' Start 0.0 minutes Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' On Wait 25 minutes Repeat 1 times Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' Off Wait 5 minutes $Water_Today_End_I = 'Flume Water / FlumeWater / Flume Sensor' Today US gallons $Water_Today_Difference_I = 0 $Water_Today_Difference_I += $Water_Today_End_I $Water_Today_Difference_I -= $Water_Today_Start_I Send Notification to 'JPaulText' content 'Irrigation Log Data' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

Thanks Paul. I want to do it for all 10 zones. It felt very confusing looking since all actions after a repeat fall into its loop structure so then needing to add many Repeat 1 times? Is that what you are suggesting? I had considered breaking each zone into its own program and having the programs execute each other in order with logic like Mike suggested.

Thanks to each of you for your methods and insights... What I want to do is have a simple way of triggering an irrigation run for multiple watering needs -- lets say Light, Standard, and HotAndDry. With each one defined for a ceration number of minutes. See the simplifed Standard needs trigger program and actual watering activity for entire yard. Note that I'm moving from EZ-Rain Insteon modules to Rachio controller with PlugIn model and have only changed the first Irrigation step to Rachio style Irrigation:Standard If ( On Sat, Mon, Wed Time is Sunrise - 4 hours And $Yard_Irrigation_Status_Manual_Update_Ony is 1 And $Yard_Irrigation_Needed_I is 1 ) Or ( Time is Sunrise - 4 hours And 'Virtual Devices / Yard:Irrig Standard' Switch Status is On ) Then $Irrigation_Run_Minutes = $Irrigation_Standard_Minutes Run Program 'Irrigation:Entire Yard' (Then Path) Set 'Virtual Devices / Yard:Irrig Standard' Off Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action') Irrigation:Entire Yard If - No Conditions - (To add one, press 'Schedule' or 'Condition') Then $Water_Today_Start_I = 'Flume Water / FlumeWater / Flume Sensor' Today US gallons Set 'Yard / Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Start '$Irrigation_Run_Minutes Minutes' Wait 25 minutes <====Want these to be variable based on $Irrigation_Run_Minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' On Wait 25 minutes Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' Off Wait 1 minute Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Mulch Beds' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Front Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Fountain Driveway' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Right Center' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Front Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Center Left' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Right' Off Set 'Yard / 2Yard:Back Rear Left' Off Wait 5 minutes $Water_Today_End_I = 'Flume Water / FlumeWater / Flume Sensor' Today US gallons $Water_Today_Difference_I = 0 $Water_Today_Difference_I += $Water_Today_End_I $Water_Today_Difference_I -= $Water_Today_Start_I Send Notification to 'MeText' content 'Irrigation Log Data' Else - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

is there a way to wait the number of minutes stored in an integer variable?

I don't get a screen like this for zone. I get the below screen. Is this something that change going from 4.x to 5.x versions of the NS? I would like to be able to turn off and on but it just has a Start botton with times to pick and Start with 0.000 is Off.

@Jimbo.Automates , thanks for taking this NS over. I debated using it early last year and did not because of no support. I installed a Rachio3 12 zone controller today and am working to get it configured with NS. I've added the api key, confirmed remote access is enabled, and rebooted the eISY a couple times. However, I have the following issues. 1 .Web hook error message (I xx'd out what appear to be a MAC address) ERROR: 04/12/2025 19:53:39 See log for: Connectivity test to my.isy.io:443 was not successful.

When I turned on a zone via AC using Start for 5 minutes, the status does not reflect On until I hit query and does not go back to Off until I hit query again. I left the shortPoll at 5 and longPoll at 600. I'm sure its because I'm just starting but would appreciate insights. Thanks, Paul http://d2z8ydsemzif1x.cloudfront.net/monthly_2025_04/image.png.2ca09b90d18c44d0eae6d15aca08631a.png Is

Has there been a better than $10 off on $50 (20%) items since Insteon came back to life?

Great, thanks. Let’s see if UD upgrades the python library. If not, is it possible I could use HA(potentially on eISY) to implement this functionality?

To be clear, did you define the scene in the Admin Console and then create the same scene using device to device method?

My guess is the switch connected to the fixture is going bad and losing its link table. I would have restored it only to see the impact. Or maybe one of switches is going bad and generating noice on that circuit to which I’d air gap them one at a time to see if problem goes away. First the two controller only and then one connected to fixture. If it’s the one connected to the fixture turning other two on and off will show in their LEDs but fixture will not be controlled.

Thanks. I could use the alarm open zone via envisalink-DSC because the doors I open are entry delay so could catch that to force update and then get the user.
