Manual water options

There are times where you may want to manually water one zone; perhaps your kids want to play in the sprinklers!  Or you can start a special schedule or water all your zones.

Water 1 Zone

Manual control is now available from any place in the app. The Control Button is in the lower right corner of the app or PC screen. This is the new method to initiate watering.

The Control Button

Use the Control Button to start manual watering or check the current run status. If a zone or schedule is currently running, this will be displayed. If no zones are running, the manual schedules, run all zones option and the individual zones will be listed.

Water a zone

Run All Zones

The All Zones option is a quick way to water all the zones that are enabled on the system.  The option works just like starting any other zone, except instead of a zone tile, the All Zones button is used.

Manual Schedule Start

Manual schedules are set up independently of your normal schedules and can be started from the Manual Schedule button.  These schedules can alternatively be triggered from Samsung SmartThings.  See related articles:

Advance through a Schedule

If All Zones, a Manual schedule or any Other schedule is running, the schedule can be advanced to the next zone by using the Stop this zone and skip to next button.

Multiple Zones

Spruce will allow multiple zones to be manually turned on but will not allow scheduling zones at the same time.
