With this latest WeatherTRAK Central release, users have more flexibility with the new addition of Schedule Learned Flow. Previously, users had to manually initiate a Learned Flow event, which sometimes ended up being late at night or while they are juggling other tasks. Now you can schedule a Learned Flow event remotely from WeatherTRAK Central, so you no longer have to be available 24/7 to initiate a Learned Flow. You can schedule it and forget it – WeatherTRAK Central will handle the rest!
New Features:
- Schedule Learned Flow – Users can now schedule a Learned Flow event at any time using WeatherTRAK Central, you no longer have to do this manually at the desired time
- Specify Stations – User can select exactly which stations to learn flow on
- Event Description for Learn Flow Event – Now you can name each Schedule Learned Flow event and include a description, great if replacing sprinkler heads or making upgrades
Improvements in this Release:
- Improved Performance for OptiFlow Mainline Usage Report – The report will load much faster
- OptiFlow Manager and Member Controllers Unlock/Lock Independently – Now you can unlock an OptiFlow Member Controller even if the Manager Controller is unlocked (which previously would have suspended all controllers in that group)
- Improved Performance for SiteMap – Faster load times for assets
Requirements:
- Active WeatherTRAK Central Subscription
- WeatherTRAK supported flow sensing device
