Thank you for your attentive observation and question! This is a very practical point of inquiry.
Your observation is absolutely correct! When you press the manual watering button on the device, the system will run for the default single-cycle watering duration that you have set for that zone in the app.
This design offers several benefits:
Consistency: Whether starting remotely via the app or pressing the button directly on the device, the watering duration remains the same, preventing unpredictable water usage.
Safety & Peace of Mind: It helps avoid overwatering or water waste caused by forgetting to turn off the water after manual operation.
Remains Flexible: If you need a different duration, you can always adjust the default setting for that zone in the app—the manual button will then sync to the updated time.
Quick Tip: You can check and modify the default manual watering duration for each zone in the “Zone Settings” or “Device Settings” section of the app to suit different plants’ needs.
We hope this clarifies how the feature works! If you have any other questions while using RainPoint, please feel free to ask. Thank you for your support!
