Schedules run for 1minute only

[ChassaB]

Am running on raspberry_pi 2 with latest raspian connected to an old water controller. All works fine in manual, but no matter what I set the schedule time to for each zone the schedule only runs for 1 minute. Weather Ubderground feed is working OK. The schedules do start at the correct time.

Any thoughts appreciated

What does your weather adjustment come up as? It could be calculating that you don't need to water much because of low temperatures, rain or high humidity.

So far it has been between 75 and 106. I've played with the seasonal adjustment but makes little difference. That is currently at 6 for no particular reason other than to give it a number. Today, after setting the run time to 50 each of my 4 stations ran for 3 minutes.

If you go to Advanced -> Wunderground Diagnostics what does "Overall
Scale" say at the end? Based on the temperatures you said it should
probably be close to 100% assuming it hasn't rained.

The Seasonal Adjust is very important and sound like your issue. If you
have it set at 6% it is only going to run your zones at 6% of the time of
whatever wunderground calculations came up with. If you want no seasonal
adjust you should set it to 100%. So if you had a zone set to 50 mins then
Wunderground applied no adjustments because it's hot out then the 6%
Seasonal Adjust was applied 50*.06 = 3 min actual run time.

It says 93%. I'll set seasonal adjust to 100% and see what happens. Certainly sounds like that is the issue. I had assumed the adjustment was the other way around.

I am a thousand times an idiot. Thanks for that it was the seasonal adjustment.

no problem.
