Better display of Plant watering needs

It would be great to get a better understanding of watering needs for your plants by establish a baseline per zone and visually monitoring its moisture level.

I found a moisture monitoring graph from a competitor's smart controller is very useful and self explanatory.  I hope to see an equivalent analyses in RM soon.

  You do have the ability to go to Settings>System>About>"View Logs" and you can see the Program Coefficients recalculate every 6 hours. 

  At the same time I agree, a graphic showing water sense would go along way in understanding how the controller waters. 

  Thanks for your time and input.

  Hello Al, 

  Thank you for the feedback. We will try to implement this graph. We have nice graphs for each program (7 day / month / year) span and we can add soil moisture balance as well.

  The problem is that each zone has a different soil moisture setting, so a program will display an aggregation of of all zone moisture. If not, we will have to implement a different graph for each zone and for each zone with its respective each program...

  Thank you Andrei and Brandon for feedback.

  Yes, I agree that a different graph for each zone would be great.

  I'm not sure if you need to break down by each program; an aggregation by zone I think should be sufficient. 

  Although drill-down by zone/program would be nice but probably an overkill.

  Thanks again

  Al
