What is a Conditional Program
Yardian Unique Features
Overview
A Conditional Program allows you to create a watering schedule with a trigger event, such as specific temperatures. It’s a special program that you can use in addition to a Smart Program or Manual Program for your zone(s). A Conditional Program has a higher priority than a Smart Program or Manual Program if there’s a watering time conflict. For example, let’s say you have a Conditional Program set at 5pm every day for 3 minutes when the temperature is higher than 95°F, as well as a Manual Program set at 5pm every day with a duration of 10 minutes. Whenever the Conditional Program is executed, the watering task from the Manual Program will be modified to 5:03pm ~ 5:10pm.
Note:
Watering from the following programs is not factored into the soil water level:
- Quick Control
