Smart Logic 

This controller automatically adjusts its watering time based on an internally stored database of historic 
weather conditions for your area, as well as current weather conditions. Create an automatic watering 
schedule 

by setting watering times for the hottest period of the year

 in your area (most likely July 

or August) and by entering your zip code. Once setup, the controller will use its internal weather database in 
combination with weather sensors to automatically adjust watering amounts.

The controller will adjust each zones watering duration up or down by a certain percentage of the scheduled 
amount. The adjustment percentages are shown 
in the upper left corner of the screen. In this 
example, all watering durations have been 
reduced by 20%.If that zone had been scheduled 
to water for 10 minutes, watering time is now 
automatically reduced to 8 minutes.

Read below to understand how the controller

automatically adjusts watering times.
