ImoLaza is packed with smart features designed to help you save water and avoid unnecessary irrigation. But with so many powerful tools—Weather Skips, Saturation Skip, Water Delay, Schedule Skip and Rain Sensor Trigger—you might be wondering:

When multiple features could skip a watering schedule, which one actually takes control?

This article clears up the confusion.

Water Delay vs. Schedule Skip
Both Water Delay and Schedule Skip allow you to temporarily stop irrigation—but they’re used in slightly different scenarios:

Schedule Skip
This function allows you to skip a specific irrigation schedule.

You can skip it for 1 to 7 days or customize your own skip cycle.

Set a Start Time and End Time—even on a future date.

Perfect when you're doing yard work, trimming the lawn, or making localized adjustments.

Water Delay
This is a system-wide pause on all irrigation schedules.

Best used when reseeding, repairing the system, or responding to unexpected weather.

Postpones all schedules, not just individual ones.

Quick and efficient for managing watering across your entire yard.

So… Who Actually Decides to Skip?
Great question! ImoLaza’s skipping logic is hierarchical but cooperative. If any one of the following conditions is met, the controller will not run the schedule:

. Weather Skips (Rain Skip / Freeze Skip / Wind Skip)

. Saturation Skip (ET Smart Schedule only)

. Water Delay

. Single-Schedule Skip

. Rain Sensor Trigger

That means just one active skip condition is enough to stop the schedule from running.
