Hi,

I have a rain machine pro which utilizes a pump and control valves. I do have a flow sensor connected and it does work great however a few program revisions would be nice. 

1. Provide continuous counter feedback for flow. Currently flow is only updated by the turbine spinning or at the end of the preset. it would be nice if you could actually see the counter increasing while the preset it running.

2. Provide an flow interlock option in case a zone valve does not open. This would be great so that you are not dead heading a pump for an entire preset if a valve failed to open.

  For 1. I think we do report this value as it's running maybe the UI doesn't refreshes properly or in a correct interval

  For 2. There is an internal protection for this kind of issues, theoretically when a valve is stuck and doesn't open the current rises and we detect this to prevent shorts/overloads to protect the device. A notification is sent in this case.
