Leak detection per zone
Please add the capability to configure the maximum allowable flow rate in l/min for each irrigation zone in the Rainmachine PRO-16. The controller, to which the flow sensor is connected, should stop irrigation and send a notification about the detected leak if the set maximum flow rate is exceeded. It would also be helpful to display the last measured average flow rate for each zone: calculated as the amount of water consumed divided by the time of the last irrigation, to assist in configuring the maximum flow rate.
This kind of leak protection will help in detecting any malfunctioning sprinklers or pipes damage that may cause significant water leakage. I recently experienced a similar issue, Rainmachine with flow sensor connected, the activated the pump (master valve) and specific zones for the programmed duration, resulting in flooding of flowerbeds and significant water wastage.
