Option for zone with no rain exposure at all

I have a roofgarden with a portion protected by a glas roof.

I‘m very pleased with the current watering settings and options, however I have one small issue:

There are potted plants situated under the roof, meaning they have absolutely no rain exposure at all. They are hooked up on a dedicated watering circuit / zone.
I would love to have an option to set this zone for this kind of situation so even on rainy days it gets watered just the standard amount.

  If the potted plants are a separate zone you can just disable weather adjustments and leave seasonal adjustments. This will water the plants without considering any rain event and still have some reduction due to historically known evapo-transpiration for current day and month (temperature/humidity).

  Thanks, but won‘t that also deactivate the function to increase watering time on hot days up to 200%?

  Yes, but considering they are in partial shade it should still be ok.

  Well, it’s a glass roof, so they are not in shade 😋

  This is tricky,  I would disable weather completely. I think there is a feature being developed to chose zone exposure for rain as there is for sun.
