Just installed mine...the old one was perfect, I could choose a zone and programs it Individually...days, start times duration. Now I have to try and group zones together to force them into a time based schedule or combine into different groups just to get the Approximate schedules I need. I regret this upgrade and the app is not any better.
Im not a fan of this model either. The digital interface is going to be more confusing then the previous rain bird models especially for an older client base. I am curious what brand and model your old controller was. I've only seen a Hunter brand that is as you described and personally don't like it. I find 4 programs is more then sufficient for most applications.
Your talking tone sucks. You don’t show how to correct the error if the start time got changed. You just keep sighing like you are fed up! Not helpful.
0:22 *Start time* Use the left and right arrows to choose the start time. Use the "+" button to set a start time or set an existing time later, the "-" to remove or set the start time earlier.
VT stands for valve test. It sends out a constant 24 Volts 100% of the time that the controller is plugged in. Most of you will never use it, I barely ever use it. MV is for master valve. I've used this option when I couldn't find a leaking valve. I installed a standard valve on the water main by the back flow, and wired it up. That leaking valve still leaks, *but* with the master valve stopping water flow, it only leaks when the system is running.
