Hi. I am new to this myself and have only had the system for about a month. I currently have only three zones and have set them up for daily morning watering. I have smart zones disabled in each zone. 

Under Preferences / Settings - it has a Weather Conditions area. 

Under Rain I have the Strategy set to Expectation,

The Threshold set to 5mm (I actually think I should reduce this to something like 2 or 3mm)

And 

Yes you can do an instant run for your zones. If you are using an Android phone, select the play button on the home screen of the Netro app. On the next page, you will be asked to select which zone(s) you want to water. To select the duration for watering, slide your finger around the circle. If you are using an iPhone, all your zones will be listed on the home screen of the Netro app. You can start a program by simply pressing the play button to water the zones right away.

I support this request too. Please give us an API that we can use to interrogate and give commands to the system. It could easily lead to a Homebridge plugin.

Hi, 

I had the same problem. Just give it time to charge in the sun. During the shipment battery drains to 0 and it could need till a few days to power up properly.

I third this. Netro, please publish a public API that we can integrate with.
