I would like to know before buy, there is no a guido for begginers of how to change watering duration, in the app the limit is 300 minutes and sometimes i need 20 hours, i have drip sprinkles and is very slow to get sufficient amount of water. So, i really need to know if trough rest api i can set up my custom duration and if it would be visible trough the app or the web app my changes once i do from api or if i change trough api i could not use the app or webapp cause i will lose my changes (those i would do trough api) 

 

Please help, people from rainmachine or random developpers.

 

Thanks

  Hi, Nicholas, Brandon

  I came across this topic and I have the same situation as Nicholas - slow drip irrigation. I am not so good on coding and API stuff, but I used the web application interface and I made a program where I set my drip zones to water for 8 hours (8 x 60 min = 480 min per zone) and it worked. I made Nicholas scenario and indeed there is no limitation on the amount of "Custom" time you can set per zone, in minutes, using the web application. Maybe it would be useful to have the same "no limit" on the mobile apps, too. But I'm ok with that. I use the mobile apps just for checking and manual watering.

  I made some screenshots just to let you see that is working:

  Hope this helps.

  Thanks.

  Access token should come after the API call URL like: GET https://ip:8080/api/4/zone?access_token=1298391283a912f98011
