Best way to judge is to get out there and stick your finger in the soil. Check each zone. If dry, put down an inch, but do it slowly (break up irrigation run) so the water has a chance to get absorbed in the soil (vs run off). Water early (4 AM or so). Never water in the daytime or when it’s windy. More water is lost to evaporation when hot and sunny. Never water early evening so grass is wet all night. That causes fungal issues.
