History

The Run log leads with recorded activity. Choose a range or month and search by zone or reason. Sessions are grouped by their start date in your installation’s timezone; expand a session to inspect its cycles and original records. Manual watering and the normal automatic schedule retain their sources.

Watering insights has a separate, clearly labeled 30-day, 90-day, or one-year window:

  • Watering time counts valve-open minutes, excluding soak waits and duplicate controller observations. It is duration, not measured volume.
  • Watering sessions counts recorded watering events.
  • Skipped zone mornings and Why scheduled zones held use recorded automatic outcomes, once per zone and local day. A later watering outcome replaces an earlier hold. A changing live forecast is not a completed skip.
  • Daily trends, the calendar, and the per-zone split show where watering occurred. An empty day means no watering was recorded; it does not prove a skip.

Rain forecast review is collapsed below the watering insights. Expand it to compare completed-day forecasts with gauge evidence. This feedback does not measure water saved. Incomplete days and unavailable observations are not scored.

Print creates a report; Download CSV exports the stored records. History lives in LocalSky’s own SQLite database. A failed history request is reported as unavailable, never as zero watering.

Today’s run and tomorrow’s projection

The Irrigation page separates Today · normal irrigation run from Tomorrow · projected. Today’s result comes from stored automatic-run rows, including the reasons recorded at dispatch. When those rows are absent, LocalSky says there is no automatic-run record rather than guessing from today’s weather. Manual runs remain visible in the run log.

Tomorrow uses tomorrow’s forecast verdict. The morning check time includes its day and timezone. Normally LocalSky works backward from sunrise minus 15 minutes by the sequence’s watering and soak duration. A zero-minute plan checks 15 minutes before sunrise; freeze forecasts can move watering to a safe post-sunrise window. The time can move as the plan changes. Fresh evidence and the applicable rules determine the final decision at the check.
