I installed my own personal weather station and my b-hyve runs the zones when it needs to: when they turn on, how long each zone runs, and it puts itself in delay mode for days weeks depending on rain chances in the near future.
It’s not smart to ignore the guidance from the water department. Staying within the recommended day/time window helps protect water pressure for all of us.
