Multiple Rainmachine Coordination

I am running two Rainmachines due to number of zones and location of control valves across my property. These controllers show up as two devices in the app, independent of one another, which makes programming zones more complicated to avoid timing conflicts.

I would like to suggest an app option to combine all Rainmachines on an account so the user just needs to program the zones (really all the owner cares about) and dispense with managing each Rainmachine individually. Thank you.

  Hi, Bret
  Thank you for your suggestion.
  This is on our todo list, but there is no estimation time for now.
  As workaround, you can achieve just that using IFTTT applets with actions and triggers.
  Like:
  IF zone/program from RM1 stops THEN start zone/program from RM2
  This way you can avoid timing conflicts and low water pressure.
  
  Hope this helps for now, Bret

  Please make this happen, it would greatly help those of us with large landscapes, multiple controllers, but one water source!

  +1 Agree that integration between multiple controllers would be greatly appreciated.  Is is any closer to being on the feature list for dev?
