Best way to implement watering days
Where I live, our watering days are Tuesdays and Fridays. In setting up my Rainmachine Mini-8, I found two ways to implement this:
1. Using restrictions, ie using daily restrictions to only allow watering on Tuesday and Fridays.
2. Set the watering program to only water on Tuesday and Fridays.
Which way is the best?

2.Set the watering program to only water on Tuesday and Fridays.
This is the best method as it water needed on a skipped day is taken into account when program is allowed to run. Day restrictions are designed mostly like: "I don't want to start watering Tuesday no matter what". During restrictions the moisture is still managed but the water need of that day is not rolled over to next day.
In the future we might change this behaviour but at this moment 2. is the best solution.
