One thing I would really like to see added to RainMachine is the ability to water a program once every 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks.  Currently the longest interval allowed between watering is 14 days.

There are many desert plants that do not need watering every two weeks.  Full grown trees only need watering once a month, not every two weeks.  In general, it is better to water less frequently and more deeply when watering these plants.

This feature could also help to further reduce water consumption.  It would be great if this could be added.  Thanks.

  Several users asked for this as far back as 2016. Here it is 4 years latter and it still has not been implemented. WHY?

  Ideally it would be set up where you select the day(s) of week you want and then a separate box to run the program every 1, 2, 3, or 4 weeks.

  This would be nice because then you know what day of the week it will water when it does water.  The bad thing about the "Every 14 Days" option is you don't know what day it will water.

  I don't know for sure but adding this is probably not that difficult (more a tweak than adding a totally new feature).

  I use the RainMachine to water my backyard trees and would like to water every 4 weeks deeply - hoping this feature will be added.
