Hello, I have noticed that my back yard is getting brown and not green. When looking at the soil report, soil water level is declining rapidly and it below the welting point and at 0.0. Why is this happening? I also had a conditional program skip today and when the schedule says it was set to run. Yardian ID B181D45A

  Hi Kayla,

  I can see that you only use Manual Program. Is that correct?
  You might need to check your sprinkler heads and see if they are working properly.
  Otherwise, you might need to adjust you program.
  The soil water level is only for Smart Program so please ignore it if you are not using the Smart Program.

  Conditional program will only be executed when the temperature is over the threshold you specified.
  I will check and data and get back to you later.

  Best Regards,
  Joseph

  Hi Kayla,

  Your temperature setting is 95F. The temperatures were below the threshold.
  Please note that the temperature is queried at the "start time" of the conditional program, not the highest temperature of that day.

  Best Regards,
  Joseph

  I came here for this issue too. My grass is also dying.

   

  I had a conditional program for 5am on days greater than 90, or so I thought. I assumed this would trigger if any day was forecast to be greater than the setpoint, since of course I don't want to just evaporate all my water during a hot and sunny part of the day.

  I request that "any forecast +/- 24 hours" be added at least as a toggle-able option.

  Hi Andrew, Kayla,

  I would suggest to use Smart Program which depends on the weather condition already.
  Conditional Program is not designed to replace a Smart Program or a Manual Program but to apply extra water for special occasions.

  Please check out this page for smart watering:

  Please also check out the app v4.1 release note if you don't see the new feature - estimated watering time and watering intervals in each zone.

  Best Regards,
  Joseph
