What Is a Watering Schedule?

A watering schedule is a plan that specifies when irrigation runs and how long each watering event lasts.

Three connected schedule fields show selected days, start time and duration. A note explains that weather rules can adjust the plan. — Common schedule fields shown conceptually, without prescribing days, times or durations.

Schedule and Water Amount

Days, start times and duration are common settings. Duration alone does not state water depth: the application rate also matters. Rainfall, plants and soil conditions can affect an appropriate plan.

IrriSense 2 Product Context

IrriSense 2 supports individual schedules for mapped zones and weather-related adjustments. Its public product documentation describes these capabilities; available settings can vary with the app and software version.

Common Misunderstanding

A scheduled start is not a guarantee that watering will run unchanged. An enabled weather response or other control can modify or interrupt an event.
