    Hi,

    Have a client who what to run their sprinkler irrigation through CBUS. We have a Wiser on site, but no Colour C-Touch so I guess we're limited to Schedules and Pulsing groups to trigger the solenoids (as there's no support for the Irrigation Manager in Wiser). Will use a rain sensor fed into a bus coupler to disable the schedule if it is wet.

    Creating a Schedule for each sprinkler group is straight forward enough, however whats the best way to implement the following

    Manual run of all sprinkler groups, where the user can

    1: trigger each group to run in sequence at an ad-hoc time

    2: specify how long each group runs for (nice to have but not essential)


    Regards
    James

    Since the Wiser does not support Irrigation, you will need to do it the hard way.

    One option is to have a series of "cascaded scenes" to control the solenoids. There should be some information in the PICED help files about this.

    Another option is to use some logic code. If you are not familiar with the Pascal logic, this will probably be a lot of work.
