Unlike one-time activations, Programs are designed for scheduled or automated irrigation events based on sensor data. With Programs, you can schedule irrigation events for specific stations on a recurring basis—whether on selected days or at set intervals—or automate them using VWC sensor data (from the Pulse Hub) for more precise control.

Creating a Scheduled Program
Tap on the Open Sprinkler card on your dashboard.
Go to the "Programs" tab, then press the "Create New Program" button.
Set the program type as "Scheduled". Name your program and enter your desired parameters for Start Time, Restrictions (Odd/Even days), Schedule Type (Weekly or Interval), Days, Station Run Time, and the Start Type (Fixed or Repeating).
Finish creating your program by pressing "Create". *Make sure your program is enabled by tapping on the "Enabled" slider, it will be blue once active.
Creating an Automated Program
Tap on the Open Sprinkler card on your dashboard.
Go to the "Programs" tab, then press the "Create New Program" button.
Set the program type as "Automation". Name your program, set the desired run duration for each station, and select which VWC sensor you would like to use for the automation.
Set the desired VWC % threshold for triggering the automation. The program is ran when the VWC % is lower than the set threshold.
Finish creating your program by pressing "Create". *Make sure your program is enabled by tapping on the "Enabled" slider, it will be blue once active.
