the minimum watering time setting is missing from the restrictions. It is overriding my programs and I can't see it or change it. When will this software issue be addressed?

    Hi, Evilknieval100
    Starting new firmware update release, we decide to move that option from the "Restrictions" and we renamed it and added it to each zone as "Minimum Rollover Threshold" option.
    When weather adjusted watering is less than the rollover threshold, RainMachine will roll over to next scheduled watering. This promotes deeper root penetration and also allows rotors to complete a full rotation.

    It is available on all our applications: iOS, Android and web.

    Thank you,
    RainMachine Support

    So, this is still confusing.   The error message in the app and online says "Minimum Watering Time".   But, you are saying what is actually getting violated is "Minimum Rollover Threshold."   What is the unit?  Minutes?

    It is measured in seconds here, and if this setting is preventing you from watering, I would set it to 0. Unless this is intended.

    I just hit this as well. Your documentation needs to be updated as when I googled for the message presented by the device, "Minimum watering time", the first result that comes up is: https://support.rainmachine.com/hc/en-us/articles/228019188-Why-did-my-RainMachine-Water-Not-Water-Today-, which states:

    2. Minimum watering time
    Scheduled duration is under duration set under Settings - Restrictions - Minimum Watering Time. This feature allows users to set a minimum time for their sprinklers to run. Any time below that threshold will roll over to the next watering cycle.
