I use 6 out of the 12 zones on my unit. I have marked the remaining 6 zones as inactive and they are greyed out, however, they still display in both the full browser UI and in the Android app. This is a minor nuisance as they take up page display & scrolling space making the UI less efficient.

I thought about hiding them with simple CSS modification on the unit, but a "Hide inactive zones in UI" checkbox seems like a relatively simple UI tweak to consider adding in a future release.

  This is missing in Web UI and mobile UI. The HD-12/16 local interface has this.

  I would also like to see this incorporated into the mobile app. I am in a similar situation to RK and feel it would streamline the app greatly.

  I also think this is a great idea, however, I sometimes use unused zones as custom delays when manually watering.

  Also keep inactive zones from being discovered by Alexa.

  Hi, Sean
  That's how it suppose to work. Alexa will discover all zones because you can manually start a zone, even if that zone is set as Inactive.
  Alexa commands acts like a manual activity on your RainMachine device. So, you're the one in charge of starting/stopping activities.
  
  Thank you,
  RainMachine Support

  I would like to see an option for each zone (active or not) to:

  1) Hide/Display in UI

  2) Hide/Visible in external API (e.g., Alexa, Assistant...)

  Just want to add that I agree, would be great to remove the unused / inactive zones from the app.
