Several problems I have with firmware 4.0.1163
I have been dealing with several challenges since the update to 4.0.1163:
1. I cannot set any WU local station as primary. Probably does not matter too much.
2. When the cycle is not set to daily (e.g. when it is 3 times a week), the scheduled time displayed on the dashboard is for one day only, but the watering covers multiple days. So, if the daily watering recommendation is e.g. 8 mins, then with every two days I get: "scheduled 8 mins, actual 16 mins, % watering: 200%". Not sure how this is affecting all calculations - see next items.
3. I had situations when, after a night of thunderstorms and a rainfall of 1" (already visible in the actual weather log and the graph), the RM was starting the watering cycle (while everything had already been soaked and there was no capacity to store any extra water).
4. I also had situations when the forecast was showing e.g. 0.2" of rain, but there was actually no rain at all. However, the RM would not start watering. If I waited until the next cycle (in 2 or 3 days), my plants would probably not have liked that.
I am not sure if these are bugs in the software, or if I am setting up things incorrectly? i think it worked much better before the update.
Also, it would be nice to be able to back up the whole setup of the RM on a computer in an easy way. Using a phone app is good for ad hoc tasks, but it never can replace the proper computer access.
