Sprinkler Program Help

[jmed999]

I'm using the following sprinkler program...

 

If
       On Sun, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri
       Time is  8:00:00AM
   And Module 'Climate' Temperature > 32 °F

Then
       Send Notification to 'My e-mail' content 'Sprinklers Started'
       Set 'Sprinkler System / 7-Back Flowers and Trees' On
       Wait  10 minutes 
       Set 'Sprinkler System / 7-Back Flowers and Trees' Off
       Set 'Sprinkler System / 2-Front Middle' On
       Wait  5 minutes 
       Set 'Sprinkler System / 2-Front Middle' Off
       Send Notification to 'My e-mail' content 'Sprinklers Stopped'

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

Please note: Since I have 9 zones I had to use 2 EZFLoras. The problem is when the program starts it sends me a "sprinkler started" notification but it very rarely sends me the "sprinklers stopped" notification. Since I'm at work during that time I never know if it really ran or not. Why is it not working/sending me the "sprinklers stopped" notification?

 

Thanks!

The only programmatic concern that I have is with your temperature condition. Unfortunately, I don't have the weatherbug module, but is it possible that temperature changes forces frequent program evaluations, such that your program execution is halted during one of the wait statements?

 

My suggestion is to break this into two programs. The first:

 

If
       On Sun, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri
       Time is  8:00:00AM
   And Module 'Climate' Temperature > 32 °F

Then
run second program (then path)

else

 

The second program:

 

if

Then
       Send Notification to 'My e-mail' content 'Sprinklers Started'
       Set 'Sprinkler System / 7-Back Flowers and Trees' On
       Wait  10 minutes 
       Set 'Sprinkler System / 7-Back Flowers and Trees' Off
       Set 'Sprinkler System / 2-Front Middle' On
       Wait  5 minutes 
       Set 'Sprinkler System / 2-Front Middle' Off
       Send Notification to 'My e-mail' content 'Sprinklers Stopped'

else
