Irrigation Scheduling

Scheduling

Remote scheduling is a core feature of the Verdi platform. Proper use allows users to create and adjust irrigation schedules from a mobile app or web interface. Once your AOIs and zones are setup and your hardware is installed, you can begin setting irrigation schedules.

Navigate to app.verdi.ag, then select your desired AOI / field.

Click on Schedule.

This opens up the schedule calendar. The calendar will open up and display today’s schedule in the half-page view.

Sets

Sets allow you to schedule irrigaiton events for zones together or in sequence efficiently.

The run is the relative position in the set sequence beginning with 1. Zones grouped into runs together will open and close together. The TIP  is the Time Percentage of each zone’s event. The default event duration is TIP 0%. Use TIP to adjust zones that require more or less irrigation consistently. The gap duration is the time difference between runs. Set to 0.001 minutes or 0.0001 hours for zero gap duration.

Click Save to save the set details.

Close the set editor and return to the irrigation schedule view, click Close Set Editor.

To schedule a set event, click on Create Event in the irrigation schedule or Add Set Event in the calendar. At this point, all steps are identical to scheduling an event (see Events).

Event duration, TIP, and zones scheduled can be adjusted in this view if necessary. Run order can only be adjusted in the set editor. Zones not apart of this set can be added, however they will be scheduled as though they are apart of run 1.
