Flow Monitoring Skip Initial Period Bug?

It appears that if a zone runs less than the Skip Initial Unstable Period (like when testing) the software coughs up a Low Flow Rate (0 GPM) Message when it turns off.

This made me think that there was something wrong with my meter at first, but everything is fine if the zone runs longer.

It seems that the Flow Rate event is still live but recording a 0 value instead of offsetting the start time and/or the alert coding doesn’t compensate for the offset.

  Hi Michael,

  The Initial Unstable Period will not be included in the flow rate calculation when running a watering task. This is why a 0 flow rate is reported if the watering time is shorter, as the system is still in an unstable state.

  I would be nice if it didn’t report any flow rate if the zone didn’t run long enough to get past the Initial Skip period. Made me go and check all my wiring connections

  Hi Michael,

  Yes, we should separate the messages to avoid confusion!
  I have reported this issue to our team.

  Best Regards,
  Joseph
