Dear Dave,
The smart watering sequence is random. The execution order of the Smart schedule is generated as follows:
Since the information such as plant types, soil conditions, and sprinklers for each device varies, the system calculates which devices have a more urgent watering need, ranks them, and arranges watering accordingly.
If you do not want the Smart Zone schedule to override your programmed schedule while still wanting to use the rain delay feature, you can set the Smart Zone level from Advanced to Basic. This mode will only skip rainy days for your programmed schedule.
