Your daily view

Start with the dashboard for weather or Irrigation for watering. You can open the same app on a phone, tablet, or desktop.

Weather

The dashboard combines current readings and the selected forecast. Check the source and observation time when a value surprises you. A station measurement, modeled estimate, and forecast describe different evidence.

Use the hourly forecast for near-term plans, the daily forecast for the week, and Radar for the wider picture. Choose your sources.

Irrigation

The main watering card answers two questions:

  • Today: what happened to the normal automatic run?
  • Tomorrow: what does the current plan project?

Blue indicates watering. Gold indicates held watering or no watering needed. An unknown state means there is not enough evidence to claim an outcome.

The page is a snapshot. Open Watering decisions for the plan, zone reasons, and supporting evidence. A new forecast can change a projection; it does not rewrite today’s recorded outcome.

Zones

See each zone’s status and planned watering. Open a zone for soil readings, its water need, and controls. Edit zone opens the editor in place; Save zone changes saves it and Cancel discards the draft.

A run request and a confirmed open valve are different states. Wait for controller feedback where available, and use Stop to end a supervised manual run.

Zone setup and controls

History

Use Run log for watering sessions and their cycles. Use Daily log for automatic runs and skipped mornings with recorded reasons. The insights below summarize longer periods.

An empty date means no record was found. It does not prove a rain skip or zero water use.

Read the result after saving. Changes that need a restart show a prompt; other supported changes apply while LocalSky runs.

For a problem, start with the device status or zone reason, then open Technical details. Troubleshooting.
