Node-Red Run Once restarts timers

[LuisMMMTS]

In Node red, no preemption:

• Start Run Once Program
• let it run for 5 seconds
• Start another Run Once program for other zone

Observe that when second run once is sent/started the timer for the first run once resets and starts from beginning again

Thanks, I will take a look.

Run once acts like a regular program with program number 98 (or 100 if started from node-red). Starting a second run once program replaces any existing one.

If you want to start multiple programs you can create them on the programs page and set them to off so they will not run automatically. Then you can start them from node-red with the "run now" node.

If you need to set run times for stations - like a run once program - you could use the station-switch node to start the stations, do the timing in node-red and use the station-switch node to stop the stations at the end of the run.

There is another way to get run once to do what you want.
on the SIP options page go to Station Handling and
turn off Sequential
turn on Individual Duration

Turning off Sequential can cause problems with some irrigation schedules because it allows multiple stations to run at the same time (concurrent mode).
