Aggregate multiple machines across one user interface
I have 3 machines. Please abstract that from me and just show me all my zones and programs on one interface. Of course, still reflect which machine has the wiring for the zone, but I want to see all my zones and programs in one place. Switching between machines is annoying (especially because you don't have a "Devices" menu option on the web interface, as I've posted here separately).
Then, let me sort alphabetically so if I have a driveway zone on one machine, and another driveway zone on another machine, I could see them back-to-back in the zones list.
Thanks!

The ability to have 2 HD-16's side by side and when you login you see 32 zones is still something I think about myself.
For now we do allow for easy access of multiple units as follows:
From the web interface you can click the "Logout" button and it will bring you do the "Devices" menu.
This will display a list of your devices that share the same "Email/Password" as long as they are online.
Also when you first login via http://my.rainmachine.com it will bring you do a "Devices" menu.

I would like to add to this thread as another user needing to have a single dashboard for multiple RM devices and an integrated schedule.
Looks like the need has been around for some time now. In another post dated August 2018 there was an indication that it is on the to-do list.
How about an update on this. When can we expect to see something that addresses this growing problem?

I am a potential customer considering RainMachine solution. I have two current dumb controllers, one in the garage serving the front and one in the back yard (encased in an outdoor enclosure). Would very much like the ability to control both locations from a single touch screen interface in the garage. Would this be possible with a Touch HD in the garage and a Mini-8 out back?

Nicholas, my goal was never to control machine 2 from the local LCD display of machine 1, etc. I'm ok with each local interface only showing its own zones. BUT, I have desperately wanted a web interface AND a mobile app interface which would aggregate all zones. Keep in mind that many landscapers pull wires from around a property without really knowing what is what until they are connected, and so it is common to get similar-purpose zones (e.g. driveway) attached to different controllers. In my case, I am always jumping between devices on the user interface saying "nope, not on this one" and it is terribly frustrating. In 2016, you guys told me on the phone you were working on this "common UI" I have requested here in this post. I implemented your solution on the expectation of having it "in the near future" but it has been 2-1/2 years. Whatever you can do to expedite this UI (both web and mobile/iOS app) soon would be really appreciated!
(In the process, please be sure to show more characters on the UI for zone names as such is even more critical when aggregating a lot of zones and differentiating between "Driveway - North - Upper" and "Driveway - North - Lower".)
