I have an etherrain8 running 6 solenoids through a single plugin.
I have it configured to be sprinklers 1 through to 6 running for specific time frames. A scene runs every second day. The schedules is run at 0500 and 0630 hours.
I want to split the sprinklers to run in 2 zones running on alternative days.
Is it possible to run a second plugin to do this. If I use the same plugin and run a second scene I cannot split the total number of stations.
Are you able to enter different zone times for every scene that you create with the plugin? If so, set up a new scene and enter a 0 in the zone time for the zones that you don’t want to run and enter values for the zones that you want to run.
the problem is that the only control I have is to set the watering times for each station.
So I can run an scene to trigger at say 0500hrs and run stations 1 to 6 for 10minutes and station 7 to 8 for xxx minutes, etc. I can then run that scene as many times as I wish.
However, I would like to split the stations and run 1 to 4 on say Tuesday and stations 5 to 8 on Saturday. I cant split the stations through the plugin.
So I was thinking if I install a second irrigation system (which is actually the same as the first) and on the initial plugin run stations 1 to 4 at 10 minutes and stations 5 to 8 for zero minutes and the second plugin can run stations 1 t0 4 for zero minutes and then run 5 to 8 for 10 minutes.
so 2 instances of the same ether rain unit with different settings.
You can create a device for each zone, and then set the individual time. It must still be in the correct format when you set it up.
0,0,0,0,10,0,0,0 etc

Go to the APP for the etherain and use the create button to create another instance of the device give the new one a name and the same IP and then schedule this new instance in a scene that you want. Been doing this for ages and all is working correctly. Have fun.
