Time-based watering will water on specific days (unless delayed by rainfall or forecast rainfall) and will vary the watering length based on your watering triggers. The controller will use the Watering Triggers you’ve set to automatically adjust its watering schedule. This Watering type would be most common as it allows the user to set the information manually or choose from a list of pre-configured watering schedules.
