Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble trying to program our sprinklers at home, we've got 5 seperate zones and unfortunately only one can be run at a time or else the water pressure isn't high enough.
I'm trying to program the Ctouch screen so that i can just press a button once and then each sprinkler will come on for 10 mins but not at the same time. ie Sprinkler 1 comes on for 10 mins then goes off and Sprinkler 2 comes on for 10 mins ect.
Any help with doing this would be greatly appreciated.

I set up the areas into zones and set schedules to run with start time x minutes apart in the morining and night - then on touch just have boxs for selecting am and pm. One page per zone.
Works well were they got bore pumps and low water pressure.

The new release of the C-Touch software and firmware will have additional features which will simplify what you are trying to do. It won't support the full-blown irrigation controller which HomeGate has though.

And don't ask when... ;)

Colour C-Touch will have the full Irrigation Manager in it.

Black and White C-Touch will have Scene Pulses which will make this sort of thing easier.
