ImoLaza offers three types of watering schedules: New Grass Schedule, Fixed Schedule, and ET Smart Schedule. While the setup process is similar, this guide will walk you through how to create a Fixed Schedule step by step.

✅ Step 1: Start Creating a Schedule

Open the ImoLaza app, go to the Schedules screen, and tap Add Schedule to begin.

✅ Step 2: Choose Schedule Type

Select the schedule that suits your needs:

  • New Grass Schedule – Ideal for seeding or newly laid sod.

  • Fixed Schedule – Best for areas with strict watering restrictions.

  • ET Smart Schedule – Automatically adjusts watering based on weather and soil data (requires accurate zone settings).

In this guide, we’ll choose Fixed Schedule.

✅ Step 3: Select Zones

A schedule can include one or more zones.
Tip: Group zones with similar plant types or nearby locations together for better efficiency.

✅ Step 4: Set Watering Duration

For Fixed and New Grass schedules, you’ll manually set how long each zone runs (in minutes).

✅ Step 5: Running Sequence

Drag the arrows to adjust the order in which the regions run.

✅ Step 6: Enable Smart Cycle (Optional)

Smart Cycle breaks long run times into shorter cycles, allowing the soil to absorb water and preventing runoff.
You can:

  • Set cycle and soak times manually

  • Let the controller choose automatically

If a pump is connected, you’ll also see a Delay Between Zones option, allowing time for the water tank to refill.

✅ Step 7: Enable Smart Weather Genius

Use these three features to skip watering based on real-time weather data:

  • Rain Skip

  • Freeze Skip

  • Wind Skip

These save water and protect your landscape.
For ET Smart Schedules, Saturation Skip replaces Rain Skip, using soil moisture data to delay watering. Click the respective FAQs in the app for details.

✅ Step 8: Choose Watering Days

Fixed Schedules offer 6 flexible options for selecting watering days, ideal for meeting local restrictions.

  • New Grass Schedule: 5 intervals

  • ET Smart Schedule: Ensures a minimum of 4 watering days per week

✅ Step 9: Set Start and End Dates

Define the schedule’s active period.
By default, the end date is set to “Never”, meaning the schedule runs indefinitely unless you stop it manually.

✅ Step 10: Choose Run Time

Decide when the schedule starts and ends each day.
ImoLaza provides five flexible timing options, so you can tailor the watering time to your daily routine or restrictions.

✅ Step 11: Name Your Schedule

Give your schedule a clear and memorable name.
Example: “Backyard - Odd Days - Sunrise - 20min”

✅ Step 12: Job Finished
