Multi-Zone Controller, manual start multiple zones

[flacco54]

Hi,

Loving the integration and have been using it for over a year now. I had an issue and didn't realise I was bound by the 10min default run-time. I have a multi-zone controller and I cannot update this default run-time. So I updated my automation to call the bhyve.start_watering service while also declaring the minutes.

All is well, but I end up with a heap of code as I have 6 zones to control. By that, I mean I need to add separate calls for each zone with a delay between each. Now, in the app, if I manually water I can 'queue' up say 12 minutes for zone 1, 16 minutes for zone 2 and on and on it goes. Then the program starts.

Is it at all possible to send a bhyve api call to queue up multiple zones on a single multi-zone controller? It would make it so much better for automations.

Thank you <3

I have heard of others also having this problem. Were you able to change it in the B-Hyve app?

Unfortunately not that I've discovered. It doesn't mean it's not possible... and in theory could be done through some custom code in the integration however tbh I don't have plans to look into this in the short term.
