Time adjustment ignored for a sequence. about irrigation_unlimited

Hi Juan,

First off I can see the adjust_time service call was issued after the sequence was started. The adjustment must be made before the schedule has commenced. It can be thought of as adjusting future runs. The entire sequence is a block or set and once started adjustments will be ignored until completed.

Hi,
thank you for your fast answer. It made sense.
Apparently it seems to not work with an sequence that has many repetitions. Maybe the effect is that the adjustment is applied over the total, accumulated duration of the sequence and the adjustment is shared proportionally over a very long time?

However, with a simple, shorter sequence the adjustment is applied to the whole sequence. The adjustment time is divided among all the zones so the total duration of the cycle is the one specified in the adjustment time. That is, an adjustment of 15 minutes are assigned as 5 minutes for each one of 3 zones (equal duration).

Thank you again for this awesome component.

Interesting point about the repetitions. To be honest, I am not exactly sure how this plays out with adjustments. Will look into it.

Yes, the adjustment time specified is the total for the sequence. The new time is compared to the original time to produce a scaling factor. This scaling factor is then applied to each zone's original duration. The total run time will be close to the specified time but some variation will occur due to rounding. Decrease the granularity if you need more accuracy.

Actually, I was trying to set the maximun time of the zone with the greater duration (the rest proportionally). Now I'll go by using percentages.
Again, great job!
