Repeating timed program? On for 10 minutes each hour?

[RichTJ99]

Hi,

 

I have some new grass & a spinkler controller. When the unit is powered the valve opens & the water comes out. When the power goes off the valvue closes & the water stops.

 

I have a section of my yard I want to water & it is connected to the appliance link.

 

So, how would I make the unit power on every 60 minutes, only stay on for 10 minutes, then shut off until the next 60 minute period happens. I would want to do this from say, 7am until 8pm.

 

If
       Time is  7:00:00AM

Then
       Repeat 11 times
       Set 'Outside: Sprinkler' On
       Wait  10 minutes 
       Set 'Outside: Sprinkler' Fast Off
       Wait  1 hour 


Else
  - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')

 

Thanks,

Rich

Hi Rich,

 

What you have is correct with one exception: you have to use From 7AM to 8PM otherwise your program will stop in the middle at about 7:10.

 

With kind regards,

Michel

Does that mean if I did a repeat of 12 times, that would do what I am looking for?

Hi Rich,

 

No, that means the program will quit running when it is not 7AM.

 

Do you want the second wait to be only 50 minutes?

I am looking for it to run for 10 minutes every hour. I think its doing that though I may change it to 8 minutes as its getting pretty wet back there.

Then you want the two Waits to add up to 60 minutes. The way it is now the sprinkler will run at 7:00, 8:10, 9:20, etc.
