Is that schedule a rule or just a suggestion. I would like to up the amount of water it's getting. Also, maybe do it overnight. I know watering at night can lead to fungus issues. But my schedule says to start at 7 AM. I feel that water is evaporating quickly with the warmer mornings.

The default times for the Rachio is 3 minutes way too short if you haven’t changed it. Depends on what types of heads you have on how long to water. I water grass 20 minutes 3 times a week. Shrub areas 3 times a week for 10 minutes.
