Important: Entering your ZIP code is required, as it directs
the Scheduling Advisor to retrieve historic weather data from
the internet for your specific ZIP code area.
Based on the data collected, the Scheduling Advisor
generates a default watering schedule tailored for the highest
water demand rate expected for the year.
The Weather Sensor system then continuously monitors
and adjusts the watering run time to suit current weather
conditions and watering demand.
Note: Due to variables associated with internet connectivity,
the Scheduling Advisor may require multiple attempts to
access and retrieve the required weather data.
