RainMachine - Additional field request

I'd like to know the nearest "nextRun" date is today or tomorrow.   I water most zones every 3 days at night, except a few areas that get scorched. On hotter days, I need to water those mid day. Based on the temp from the climate module, I will skip this watering today or tomorrow. I was not able to get this to work with the RM on its own without over-watering.

 

This is not a "by program" request, only the single date that the next program will run. A possible way to do it is present it in the rainmachine device in nodelink, and presented through programs:

 

The first drop down could have an additional value, after "Rain Sensor", called "Next Run", and the comparison choices dropdown would offer- Today or Tomorrow.

Paul,

Easiest for me to add "by program".  If you just want a single overall next as mentioned above I can calculate this and add it to the main RM node.  Lemme know.

Never mind, I've added both, it'll be in the next version.

 

It will display Today, Tomorrow, Several Days, Not Scheduled.

This worked out perfectly. The lawn, and water bill, are both responding well.

 

Thanks again so much for your support!
