Program-Based Scheduling
The ESP-Me uses a programmed-based scheduling
method to create irrigation schedules.
For each Program (A, B, C and D):
A
Select Watering Days (Custom, Odd/Even, Cyclic)
and Start Times that apply globally to the entire
program.
B
Assign a Run Time to each available station
number to run during the selected program.
Program Stacking
If any programs have Start Times that overlap, the ESP-
Me will “stack” the Start Times. When all Stations have
run in Program A, then Program B will start watering.
Individual stations will water in sequential order.
As an example: Program A and B are both set to start
at 8:00 AM. But Program B will not run until Program A
is nished.
With Program Stacking,
Program B only starts
when Program A is
nished
