Would love to be able to enter rain amount manually. Program said I received .3 but my gauge is only .003. This happens quite a bit. Have to water more most of the time when it rains due to this difference.

  Brian,

  Try and add Wunderground as a Weather option.

  https://support.rainmachine.com/hc/en-us/articles/228018848-Using-Wunderground

  After you save the API key give it 30 seconds to update. 

  Then check your "station list" and then select the one closest to you to get the most accurate rain measurements. 

  Let me know if you need any help with this.

  Brandon,

  Both NOAA and Wunderground produce occasional errors  (sometimes forecast/station is off, sometimes there is an error if data parsing).

  It would be great to be able to adjust Field Capacity manualy.

  Field Capacity can be adjusted in from the web interface in zone settings. You have a plus or minus affecting the total.

  Brandon, thanks for pointing it out that Field Capacity can be adjusted.

  I actually misspoke; I would like to adjust how depleted is a Field Capacity  (in %%), ie what is an Available Water in a zone.
