A True Manual Program

A program that is truly manual would be useful for Fall blow-outs.  Currently I have to remove my restrictions when the contractor comes to blow-out the system.  A manual program that would override all restrictions would be good for this.  No frequencies, etc.

  Hi, Mitul

  You can do that from the RainMachine Android mobile app. Set your program as Inactive then go to the Program list and start the program.
  On the RainMachine Touch HD local interface touch screen, go to Settings - Programs and make sure that the "Show inactive" option is enabled. Then go to the program you want and tap on Run Now button.

  Thank you.

  Hi, Lon

  I told you what I have done in the same case as yours. I created a program on my RainMachine Touch HD-12 and named it "Gardener Manual" doesn't matter the frequency and other settings since it will be started manually by my gardener and set the Enable option to OFF so my program is now Disabled and it will not run as scheduled and when my contractor arrives he knows what program to start manually from the device itself - he just go to the Programs and look for "Gardener Manual" and the tap the button "RUN NOW" and the program starts and overwrites any restrictions you may have set. Any disabled program can be manually started whenever you want.

  Hope that helps you too.

  Well, with latest update on Android this ability is gone. I can't run my manual program any more. The program has to be enabled in order to start it from the app.

   

  Please, either allow program to enabled and schedule to be manual

  OR allow to run a disabled program on demand.
