Skip Rules
Yardian Features
Overview
The Skip Rules only affect the Smart Program and Manual Program, while tasks from the Conditional Programs will still be executed upon triggering.
You can choose to skip watering schedules created by your Smart Program and Manual Program. There are 4 skip rules that you can use based on Actual Rainfall, Chance of Rain, Rain Sensor Skip, Manual Skip, and Freeze Prevention.
Skip watering based on weather data
Chance of Rain
Set the threshold from 10% to 90%. If the chance of rain (or POP – probability of precipitation) from the weather forecast is higher than your set threshold, the schedules on that day will be skipped.
Rainfall Skip
The Rainfall Skip is a new skip rule that allows you to skip certain days according to the actual rainfall reported from the weather station. Simply specify the “number of skip days” and the “minimum rainfall” to trigger this feature.
Freeze Prevention
You can skip watering schedules due to low temperatures. Set the temperature threshold to 32F, 36F, 41F, or 50F (0C, 2.2C, 5C, or 10C). Your watering schedules will be skipped if the Low-Temperature Forecast is lower than the threshold.
Skip watering based on the rain sensor
Rain Sensor Skip
This is also called “Rain Delay“. Set the skip day(s) from 1 to 7 days. When your rain sensor is triggered, the watering schedules in the following day(s) of your choice will be skipped. The Activation Delay parameter is employed to validate a rain sensor activation event, requiring the rain sensor to remain active for a specified period of time to be considered valid.
Skip watering based on the user’s preference
Manual Skip
You can skip your watering schedules for any reason. Set the skip day(s) from 1 to 7 days.
