Subject: IIC-800-WIFI  
Can this unit be programmed to have different run times for different schedules on the same station?

Ie

> Station 1:  
> Start time 8am run time 10 minutes  
> Start time 1pm run time 1 minutes  
> Start time 4pm run time 7 minutes
> 
> Station 2:  
> Start time 8am run time 5 minutes  
> Start time 1pm run time 1 minutes  
> Start time 4pm run time 8 minutes
> 
> It looks like from the app and the manual that the run time has to be the same for all start times in the same region meaning it is not useful for many applications.

Seems strange as this is standard on most controllers I have seen and this unit is very intuitive for programming

Hello,  
Please add different start times for the same station via the settings in the INKBIRD app.

Different start times do not help.  
Every start time has the same duration.

I (and most growers / gardeners) need different run times for each start time.

You don’t use the same amount of water on the same zone in the morning evening and middle of the day!
