Newbie help/questions
Fixed
I have installed the RM about 2 weeks ago. I set up the program and it starts/stops without an issue for 2 days. After that, I get the notice on my phone that the program didnt start. It has been sunny and in the 80s-90's past 3 days and it failed to water each day. I can set it to manually water without a problem. What am I doing wrong? Does the master valve need to be checked? I am a little concerned as I leave for 2 weeks and want to make sure it is watering

I would get a notification on my phone saying RM started to water and then another notification saying it didn't start. I received that the past 4 days, all days were sunny and 80's to 100 degrees out. Adaptive frequency was off. I had to run manually yesterday and today. The graphs below, does that represent the amount of watering for each day? The past 3 days was 0%

The icon from yesterday means (you can mouse over it) that you had enough water in soil. This should also be listed as "reason" in the Watering Log from Settings. If you click the button "show graph" next to the "Field Capacity" in zone properties it will show you a available water graph.
If your soil looks dry you can reduce the "field capacity" from zone settings. This will reduce the amount of water that your soil can hold after a rain event and directly reduce the number of days until next schedule. You need to remember that even if the soil looks dry on the surface you might have plants with deeper roots that still have water available to them.
