Rain8 Auto Mode

The auto mode is for the user who does not care to dedicate a PC to run a home automation program or whose irrigation needs can be condensed into two separate schedules that don't require frequent changes.

In the example here, only Auto A schedule has been enabled, therefore the House Code and Unit code that will trigger this schedule are set by drop down text boxes.

Auto B is not enabled therefore its HC/UC and run time boxes are grayed out (deactivated).

Sending the Rain8 an A-9 ON would turn on the zone 1 sprinkler valve. This valve would remain on for 250 minutes, then it would turn off and the zone 2 valve would turn on and so on...

The run times for each zone may be anything from 0 to 250 minutes, in one minute increments. A setting of zero would cause the Rain8 to skip that particular zone. Here zones 6 - 8 would be skipped.
