will not water anymore
I am only allowed to water Tue and Fri
Starting this week (worked fine last week)
when you look at program, Friday May 17th, below that it shows 99%, but when you hover over that the 99% bar shows May 16th, 99% (but Friday is 17th.) Even next Tuesday 21 has a bar under it that shows may 20th, 98%.
this morning (friday 17th) came and went, it did not water.(lawn needs water)
it worked (for the most part) fine with this program up to an update from 1.34 to 1.36 on 5/13 at 7am EST.
after upgrade they tell me it stopped receiving weather forecast (it rained 2.5" on Monday 13th afternoon, but watered almost 100% on Tuesday 14th.
now it will not even water when its supposed to.
and nobody is answering the phone at rainmachine today
I guess I need to set manual water after sun goes down.

I think this is related to the check I kept using "finish X minutes before sunrise". I changed this setting to a set start time and program ran without issues.
when logged into device with browser, the date on bar showing when its going to water in Programs field (date shown when you hover mouse over it) is always 1 day behind the corresponding weather forecast in block directly above it. but mobile app (android) does not have this problem. FF, IE-11 and chrome all show this.

I have the same issue. I am using finish X minutes before sunrise and noticed that the system is not watering either. This morning I got up around 5am and noticed the ground was wet, grass was wet, and soil in my beds were wet. I confirmed the system watered, BUT it does not show up in my dash console. When I log in, the system shows it did not water anything today, but yesterday, it shows watering. This seems to be a similiar issue you are experiencing.
I am going to switch back to setting a start time so I dont have this problem.
Thank you for the post you saved me alot of time troubleshooting
FYI - this issue started after the update as well.

I figured out why the system shows the watering yesterday when finish by X minutes before sunrise. Turns out Sunrise for me (New York) is 5:21am. The system calculated 6:12minutes were needed to water. Therefore watering began 11:38pm the day before. Below is a cut and paste from the setting screen just scroll down. I put everything back to a start @ time.
