Dear customer,

New plant mode aims to maintain a high moisture level (above 85%), but it doesn't guarantee daily watering. You can try with the 'new plant' mode and monitor its impact on the growth of your plants.

If you do not want smart zone schedule to override your own programmed schedule, you can set up the Smart Zone level from Advanced to Basic through Settings->Zones->Smart Zone,  which only skip rainning days for your programmed schedule. 

For more information about Netro smart watering, here is an article about Netro three watering modes which might be helpful. https://netrohome.com/forum/posts/111

If you have any further concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
