Release notes.

New Features

• Seed Mode — gentler watering for newly seeded or hydroseeded lawns. The sprinkler makes five faster passes for every 0.05" of water instead of one, to prevent pushing and washing seed away. Includes an integrated double-coverage offset on passes 2 and 4. Managed in the zone settings page.
• Winterization blowout — blowout is streamlined for ease and speed. Works with Irrigreen sprinklers, Irrigreen smart valves and traditional valves. Allows user to quickly open each zones valve to flush water from main lines. Access through system “More” tab in app.
• More precise watering with overhauled calibration and HydroBoost 2.0 — your sprinkler now learns its throw distance and adjusts to your water pressure while it runs (for systems with HydroBoost or XP enabled), for more accurate zone shapes. Update is automatically applied for sprinklers calibrated this way with HydroBoost enabled.
• Password-free Wi-Fi networks — controllers can now connect to open Wi-Fi networks that have no password.
• Sprinkler 3.5 telemetry sensors supported.

Improvements

• More dependable calibration — calibrations succeed more often on the first try, and when one does fail the system explains more about why.
• Faster winterization on Sprinkler 3 — blowout skips an end-of-run step and finishes sooner.
• Improved detection on Current errors where false errors previously triggered on 8+ Irrigreen head setups.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a sprinkler's pressure sensor was unavailable for the first watering after a firmware update.
• Fixed an issue where a sprinkler line could stay powered on after an electrical error, which led to inconsistent error reporting.

New Features

• Seed and Double Coverage badges on zone cards and on zone rows when creating or editing a schedule, with rotation counts that account for Seed Mode. Requires firmware 11.70 or newer.
• Rebuilt add, replace and delete sprinkler — streamlined backend processing of data from controller to the app to simplify and group sprinklers by controller line connections. Keep ‘Add Sprinkler’ screen active so multiple heads can be added without additional line scans.
• Overhauled calibration added to Auto Calibration and Calibrate All. Requires firmware 11.80 or newer.

Improvements

• Zone settings shows advanced features right away instead of waiting on the controller.
• Replacing a sprinkler keeps the existing zone and its place in every schedule, and clears the old sprinkler's calibration and errors.
• Replacing a sprinkler only offers sprinklers on the same controller cable run and informs user if no replacement device is shown on the line scan.
• On a line that's already full, scan results and Identify are disabled.
• Valve runtime rows now match the sprinkler rows when creating or editing a schedule, and the Auto Water badge icon is refreshed.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a replace that stopped part way reported success, now stated to user and offers a retry.
• Fixed an issue where a zone could be deleted while active on a schedule.

New Features

• Seed and Double Coverage tags on Zones list cards and on the create/edit schedule views, with seed rotations shown separately from standard rotations. Requires firmware 11.70 or newer.
• Support for the overhauled calibration. Requires firmware 11.80 or newer; no visible change in the app.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Zones list and the create/edit schedule views could come up empty on a poor connection, they now display from cached data.
• Fixed a fuzzy gradient bar appearing over the Zone Detail view on iOS 27.

New Features

• Blowout Procedure — a winterization flow that steps through opening one zone at a time so compressed air can clear the lines before a freeze. Covers sprinklers, smart valves and traditional valves in the order the zones list uses, and each row reports what the valve motors are doing and can be replayed. Access through More Options; requires firmware 11.70 or newer.
• On-screen guidance covering where to start on the water line, the 50 to 70 PSI range we recommend, and that spray direction can't be changed/moved during a blowout.
• Offseason shutdown — finishing the procedure offers to disable every schedule for the offseason, with a reminder to leave the system plugged in for winter software updates.

Improvements

• Starting a blowout while something else is running offers to stop it first.
• During blowout , a zone that fails to open gets an error label and a retry, a system fault clears every row back to idle, and quick taps across zones follow the last zone tapped.
• More Options rows are grouped into sections and the controller header is labeled.

New Features

• Blowout Procedure — a winterization flow that steps through opening one zone at a time so compressed air can clear the lines before a freeze, covering sprinklers, smart valves and traditional valves. Access through More Options; requires firmware 11.70 or newer.

New Features

• Seed Mode in zone settings — the sprinkler rotates faster while new seed establishes, with an end date that defaults to 30 days out and can be pushed to 60. Setting it to today ends the seed window at the coming midnight in the controller's time zone. Requires firmware 11.70 or newer.
• Seed Mode and Double Coverage now switch each other off, so only one advanced feature runs on a zone at a time. Below firmware 11.70 only Double Coverage appears, and it works as before.

Improvements

• Advanced features are read fresh every time zone settings opens.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a toggle the controller rejected stayed switched on — it now rolls back with a message.
• Fixed the zone settings sheet jittering as it resized, and it now scrolls clear of the navigation bar.

New Features

• Seed Mode in zone settings — the sprinkler rotates faster with lighter passes while new seed establishes, so it disturbs the seed less. The end date defaults to 30 days out and can be set anywhere up to 60 days. Turning Seed Mode on switches Double Coverage off, and turning Double Coverage on ends Seed Mode — only one runs on a zone at a time. Requires firmware 11.70 or newer.

Improvements

• Auto calibration now shows "around a minute" for firmware updates, and the time estimate is gone from the System Software Update alert (firmware 11.70 or newer).
• System Software Update now shows "Checking for update" and "Already up to date" as it checks system status.
• New "Unable to Start Device Scan" and "No Devices Found" alerts on System Software Update and Test & Detect.
• "Wire Test" is now "Test & Detect Devices", matching the ‘More Options’ screen.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed being unable to pick the current day as a Seed Mode end date — seed watering now runs through that day and stops at midnight.

New Features

• Added a heads-up when trying to start a quick run while something else is already running — the app now asks first, with walkthrough to safely stop the current run and starting the new one.

Improvements

• Starting and stopping quick runs is now more reliable on Supported Firmware (v11.60+).
• The dashboard now clearly shows what's actually watering right now, including custom runs.
• Custom and scheduled runs can be stopped from the dashboard.
• Schedules with no zones assigned no longer clutter the quick run menu.
• The zone update screen now more clearly distinguishes devices that are being checked from those already up to date.

Bug Fixes

• General Bug Fixes for Zone Shapes — fixed zone shapes occasionally appearing on the wrong controller, shapes not updating correctly after being cleared from another device, and zones without a shape not showing their live status during calibration or updates.

New Features

• Sprinkler firmware updates are now dramatically faster:
  • Individual sprinkler updates are up to 4.6x faster (an update that used to take about 2 minutes 45 seconds now takes about 36 seconds).
  • When multiple sprinklers of the same type are on the same line, they can now update simultaneously — up to 20x faster overall.
  • Sprinklers need to receive this update once before they can take advantage of the faster method; until then, updates use the previous (slower) process automatically.
• The Zones page in the app is now faster and more responsive when running quick runs and actions, thanks to a new behind-the-scenes status system.

Improvements

• Autowater-enabled schedule quick runs now always water for a guaranteed minimum amount of time, so a zone is never accidentally skipped or under-watered — and any extra water this causes doesn't count against future watering calculations.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where diagnostic tests could sometimes fail to cancel when requested.
• Fixed an issue where "double coverage" watering ran longer than expected on very large zone set points (above 32'8").
• Fixed an issue causing "phantom" points to briefly appear when editing zone shapes at certain angles.
• Fixed an issue where the app could incorrectly report a firmware update as failed, even though it completed successfully.
• General Bug Fixes for Update Reliability — small timing adjustments to make sprinkler updates more consistent, and a fix for delayed error reporting on broken sprinklers detected during setup.

New Features

• Auto calibration can now prompt user to adjust sprinkler's rotation before starting. A new ring slider lets user fine-tune the direction the head faces before measurement begins (requires firmware v11.50 or newer).

New Features

• Users can now aim the spray direction during zone calibration. On firmware v11.40 and newer, while the sprinkler is spraying, a rotation dial lets users set the exact direction — drag it or use the fine-adjustment arrows for precise control.

Improvements

• The calibration adjustment screen now stays in sync with the controller's own timer and closes on its own once calibration moves to the next step.
• Leaving a calibration in progress now confirms with the controller first, with a "leave anyway" option if the controller can't be reached.
• Refreshed the look of the manual calibration controls to match the new spray-aiming tools.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a failed spray-direction adjustment didn't show any on-screen message.

Improvements

• This update requires iOS 16.0 or later.
• Improved connection reliability — the app now automatically reconnects when the network changes or when user brings the app back to the foreground.

Bug Fixes

• General Bug Fixes for App Stability — fixed several causes of unexpected app crashes.

New Features

• Added Calibrate All — select any group of zones from the More screen and the app calibrates them one after another automatically, including any firmware updates needed along the way.

Improvements

• Calibrate All keeps running even after switching away from the app. A progress notification tracks it, and notifies when it finishes or if the connection is lost.
• A Calibrate All run can be paused partway through and picked up later; zones that have already finished keep their results.
• Improved Wi-Fi connection stability, including cases where phone hides the network name.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed dialog button labels wrapping onto two lines.
• Fixed zone names being allowed to exceed the length the controller can actually accept.
• General Bug Fixes for Calibration Reliability — improved handling when the controller is busy or a stop/exit request fails.

New Features

• Added support for manual calibration as an alternative to automatic calibration.
• Added support for special characters in Wi-Fi network names and passwords. Network scans and connections will now work correctly even when the SSID or password includes them.

Improvements

• Calibration now automatically retries if the initial result looks off, improving accuracy without manual retries.
• Improved valve motor control on Sprinkler 3 to prevent a rare failure condition.
• Added extra safeguards to prevent valves from getting stuck open, including a new fallback "close" attempt if the normal close sequence fails.
• Automatic firmware updates now wait until an active job (like a watering cycle) finishes before starting, instead of interrupting it.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where sprinklers wouldn't rise ("pop up") correctly on repeated passes over the starting point of a shape.
• Fixed occasional inaccurate schedule timing when the controller couldn't reach an internet time server.
• Fixed a display issue on Controller 3 where the screen didn't refresh properly right after a sprinkler update finished.
• General Bug Fixes for Reliability & Stability — including fewer unexpected controller reboots, better recovery when a controller becomes unresponsive, and more accurate error messages (communication issues are no longer mislabeled as pressure sensor errors).
• General Bug Fixes for Pressure Sensor Accuracy — better detection of failing sensors and more accurate readings during long watering sessions.

New Features

• Manual calibration is available again, right alongside automatic calibration. It's been rebuilt to need only 2 measurements instead of 4, shows sprinkler startup progress, and gives clearer error alerts (requires firmware v11.40 or newer).

Improvements

• Auto calibration now automatically retries if needed, showing the attempt count and a "Restarting Calibration" status. If it still can't finish, a "Calibration Incomplete" alert offers manual calibration as a fallback.

New Features

• Manual calibration is available again on firmware v11.40 and newer, with a refined flow from start to finish.

Improvements

• Replaced the manual calibration system setting with an Auto/Manual choice in the zone settings page.
• Auto calibration now automatically retries if needed (requires firmware v11.40 or newer).
• Clearer on-screen messaging when a calibration doesn't finish successfully.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where auto calibration could appear to hang during a firmware update.

New Features

• User can create up to 8 schedules (up from 4 previously) and give each one a custom name, making it easier to keep track of different watering routines.

Improvements

• Zone Quick Runs now always run for a consistent minimum duration (at least 3 full rotations for sprinklers, or 5 minutes for solenoid valves and Smart Valves)
• Improved the calibration process with more data points for high-pressure systems and more accurate calibration on Sprinkler 3.
• Added an additional fallback method for Smart Valve zones based on their previous run, further reducing watering interruptions.
• Reduced false "offline" error reports caused by normal device hibernation/wake cycles.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where running multiple schedules at the same time on Controller 3 could cause controller to restart.
• Fixed an issue where "Clear All Errors" didn't work correctly on Pro controllers.
• Fixed an issue where notifications for a schedule-triggered quick run were missing schedule details.
• General Bug Fixes for Settings Reliability — fixed a case where changing one sprinkler setting could unintentionally reset a different, unrelated setting.

Improvements

• The Zones list now remembers whether user had it expanded or condensed, separately for each controller.
• Added a clear banner on Message Center and Diagnostics letting user know when they need to sign in.
• The schedule screen now shows a clearer "Cycle" title for even/odd, individual, and custom day schedules.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where a quick run that couldn't start would trigger repeated error alerts.
• Removed unhelpful error messages that didn't provide any useful information.
• General Bug Fixes for App Stability.

New Features

• Users can now create up to 8 schedules, up from 4 (requires firmware v11.2 or newer). The add-schedule button hides once all 8 slots are used and reappears when one frees up.

Improvements

• Custom schedule names now save directly to the controller and sync across devices.
• When replacing a sprinkler, the app now automatically keeps its previous name if a new one is not set.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed the app briefly flashing back to the splash screen after receiving a push notification.

New Features

• Users can now create up to 8 schedules, up from 4 (requires supported firmware).

Improvements

• Schedule names now sync automatically across all devices instead of being stored locally on just one.
• Updated wording on the system update dialog for clarity.

New Features

• Users can now run zones on different lines at the same time (available on certain controller models and Supported Firmware).

Improvements

• When creating a new zone shape, the starting angle now defaults automatically to the shape's longest point unless one is set manually.
• Auto Water history now shows a clearer outcome for each run — "Ran Normally," "Watered More," or "Watered Less" — based on how the actual run time compared to what was expected.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed swipe-to-delete getting stuck after deleting a zone.

Improvements

• Renamed the system update alert for clarity — it now reads "System Update" with a "Check & Apply Updates" button.
• In Program mode, the starting point now defaults automatically to the longest point of the zone shape.
• Smart Valve zones now show an "Auto" tag (with a drip icon in the condensed view) when Auto Water is turned on.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed inaccurate dates and times on some Message Center events.

Removed

• Cleaned up a few unused settings and menu options that were no longer supported, including an older smart- home integration and some outdated controls on Calibrate All.

Improvements

• Added mitigation for high-torque situations during initial sprinkler rotor movement on Sprinkler 3, reducing the chance of a rotation error.
• Improved recovery when a pressure sensor briefly fails mid-run. Sprinklers can now fall back to a safe default shape/behavior instead of stopping.
• Added the same pressure-failure fallback protection to Smart Valve zones.
• Reduced the chance of "temporary" pressure sensor failures being reported due to electrical noise.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where the very first watering session of some schedules didn't record accurate water-usage data.
• Fixed an issue where "Double Coverage" watering was incorrectly applied to certain single-rotation runs.
• General Bug Fixes for watering accuracy.

New Features

• Schedules on Supported Firmware can now run multiple zones within the same schedule at the same time.

New Features

• Added concurrent schedules — zones on different lines can now run at the same time.
  • Turn it on with a checkbox on the schedule screen.
  • App explains the tradeoffs before enabling it (requires firmware v10.0 or newer)
  • Traditional valves join whichever line has the most enabled zones, and Smart Valves work alongside sprinklers.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the global Auto Water setting could show incorrectly after a full sync.
• Fixed the Stop button sometimes not appearing when running a schedule that includes a traditional valve.
• General Bug Fixes for App Stability.

New Features

• Auto calibration now shows real-time progress with an estimated time remaining for each phase (Supported Firmware).

Improvements

• Auto calibration on Supported Firmware now automatically handles any needed firmware updates as part of the calibration process.
• Sprinkler errors that occur during calibration are now shown clearly in a dedicated error message.

Improvements

• Auto calibration now walks user through any needed firmware update first, with clearer alerts if something goes wrong (requires firmware v11.0 or newer).

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue that could cause the app to hang briefly at launch.

New Features

• “Update all" option pushes firmware updates to every attached device on a line in one step instead of updating heads one at a time.
• The controller's display now shows a progress indicator while a sprinkler is updating.
• New detailed, real-time status on screen while calibration is running.

Improvements

• Increased the maximum pop-up height on Sprinkler 3 from 14’ to 16’ to ensure riser is fully extended.
• Adjusted spray behavior for Smart Valve zones for more consistent watering.
• General system stability improvements across Controller 2 and Controller 3.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where Smart Valve zones could show the wrong name in app notifications.

• General performance and stability improvements.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Smart Valve syncing from blocking traditional valve syncing on some firmware.
• Fixed long schedule names being cut off in cards and in the activity feed.

New Features

• Fixed valves deleted from the controller sometimes still appearing in the app.
• Fixed a false "Connection Lost" message during Test & Detect.
• Fixed a bug where typing a zone name during Smart Valve setup could freeze the app.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an issue where controller IDs starting with a zero could be displayed or stored incorrectly.

New Features

• Added Smart Valve onboarding — pair a new device by scanning for it on the line connection, with a signal-strength indicator to help find and confirm the right one.
• Name Smart Valve zone during setup, review its settings on a confirmation screen, and set device-specific details and Auto Water settings before saving.
• Smart Valves now appear on the Zones screen with their device type shown on the zone details screen, and are fully supported in scheduling, status reporting, and quick runs.
• The schedule creation and editing screen was reworked for a cleaner layout, with full Smart Valve support built in.

This release introduced Smart Valve support across the app.

New Features

• Added Smart Valve onboarding — scan for a new device over Bluetooth, name the zone, review its specifications, and confirm the details before adding it.
• Smart Valves now appear in the Zones list with their errors and support quick runs; zone details show associated errors and schedules, and schedules can be created and edited for Smart Valve zones just like any other.
• System errors for a Smart Valve appear in the System Errors view and can be cleared there.
• Adding a Smart Valve on unsupported firmware now shows a clear incompatible-firmware alert instead of failing silently.

New Features
