What is the Event Tab?  

The Event screen provides a snapshot view of the following information: 

  • Controller name. See your current controller, or tap the arrow to add or view other controllers linked to your account.
  • Controller status. See whether your controller is online, offline, watering, watering delayed, paused, or in hibernation (formerly standby) mode. 
  • Schedule & Forecast. View your local weather forecast and projected waterings, and view or edit the Weather Station or Personal Weather Station linked to your controller. 
  • Next Run. Check out upcoming scheduled events and manually skip them with the touch of a button. Next Run cards are now tappable, and bring you to the "Run Detail" and "Skip Detail" screens.
    • "Run Detail" screens tell you the details of your scheduled run, including what zones will run and when!
    • "Skip Detail" screens tell you why your schedule is skipping, remind you of your Weather Intelligence thresholds, and help you edit your Weather Station or thresholds if something seems off.
  • Monthly Usage. See how many minutes or estimated gallons of watering you have saved with Rachio in the current month. You can also check out your total watering time as well as your monthly watering history. 
  • Quick Run. Select the green Quick Run button to initiate a quick run of any schedule.
