Question on minimum watering time

Its not clear from any of the documentation I've seen on this, either in the iOS app or online.. What does the minimum watering time apply to?  To an individual zone within a program, or to the entire program?

In the iOS app, it looks like I can set minimum watering time as high as 5 minutes (300 seconds).  I'm assuming (hoping) that means an individual zone within the program.  Also -- if one or two zones of the program end up falling below the minimum threshold, but the other zones do not -- will the entire program not run and roll over to the next scheduled date?

  The minimum watering time is a global set up. Unfortunately its not per zone or program. It's for the whole thing.

  So if your restrictions is setup to 5 mins if you have a Zone that waters 10 mins per day but that day is cold and it says it only needs to water for 4 mins. It will not water.

  Hopefully that clears it up for you

  i guess I should have been more clear. If you have a program with multiple zones, do only the zones that fall below the minimum fail to run? Example, program has zone 1 normally set for 10 minutes and zone 2 set for 30 minutes. Because of weather, that program gets reduced to 25%. Does zone 1 not run and carry over but zone 2 runs for 7:30?

  I ask because I know if certain zones have a surplus when the program runs, it just skips those zones while keeping the other zones in the program intact. This morning I saw it, 5 of my 6 zones had a surplus (set for partial shade, Lawn) while the 6th zone ran for 6 minutes (full sun, Lawn)
