The Zone Runtime History report provides a detailed record of how long each irrigation zone ran during a selected date range. This document explains each section of your report. Use this guide to verify that your zones are running as scheduled, identify unexpected runtimes, understand moisture-sensor-triggered events, and audit irrigation activity for any period.
Supported Resolution and Date Range
Hourly resolution supported for reports up to 1 day.
Daily resolution supported for reports between 2 and 30 days.
Monthly resolution supported for reports between 31 days and 24 months.
Report ranges beyond 24 months are restricted.
Report Header
The top of the report displays identifying information for the report and the controller it was generated from:
Company – The organization associated with the site.
Site – The specific location the controller is installed at.
Controller – The controller ID assigned to the device.
MAC / Serial Number – Hardware identifiers for the controller.
Type – The controller model (e.g., BL-3200S).
Version – The firmware version running on the controller at the time the report was generated.
Period – The date range the report covers.
Prepared on – The date the report was generated.
By – The AppManager user who generated the report.
Zone Runtime Summary
The summary table shows the zone address, description, sprinkler type, learned flow (or set GPM) for that zone, the total runtime in the reporting period for each zone and zone runtime on each active day of the report period. Days with no activity show a dash (—). Manual runtime and scheduled runtime minutes are counted towards total runtime for a given day. The following fields are shown:
Zone – The assigned address of the zone in the BaseStation controller.
Description – Default or user defined zone detail.
Type – The sprinkler type. Current defined types are: Popup spray heads, popup rotor, bubblers, surface drip, impacts, rotors and custom. Zones with no set type show a dash (—).
GPM – The user defined or learned flow gallon per minute flow rate.
Day/Week – The total runtime for each zone on each active day/week of the report period.
Total – The accumulated runtime across all days in the range for each zone.
Daily Breakdown
The Daily Breakdown section lists every individual run cycle per zone, per day, with exact start and stop times. Each continuous run is shown as a single entry. If a zone ran twice in one day (two separate cycles), both appear separated by commas. Zone manual runs are displayed in orange text with the name of the user that executed it. Manual runs from the controller are listed as Controller.
Runtime Timeline
The Runtime Timeline is a horizontal bar chart displayed below each day's breakdown table. It provides a visual overview of when each zone ran throughout the day, plotted against a 24-hour clock.
Each zone occupies its own row. Bars are drawn to scale — bar width reflects the duration of the run, and each bar is labeled with the total minutes for that cycle. Scheduled runs appear in blue; manual runs appear in orange.
Use the timeline to quickly confirm that zones ran in the expected sequence, that run times are proportional to your programmed durations, and that no unintended gaps or overlaps occurred during a program cycle.
Moisture Sensor Zones
The Moisture Sensor Zones section appears at the bottom of the report when one or more zones are linked to a moisture sensor. It shows how soil moisture levels, temperature, and irrigation activity interacted over the report period for each affected zone.
Each entry identifies the primary zone, the sensor assigned to it, and the program controlling its moisture-based watering behavior. The upper or lower limit watering threshold indicates the soil moisture percentage at which the controller will start, stop or skip irrigation is displayed for each applicable program.
A chart plots four data series across the report period:
Runtime (minutes) – Blue bars showing how long the zone ran at each interval.
Soil Moisture (%) – A solid line tracking the measured moisture level in the soil over time.
Temperature (°F) – A dashed line tracking the measured temperature level in the soil over time.
Trigger Threshold – A dashed reference line marking the upper or lower moisture limit configured to the primary zone/moisture sensor combo.
When soil moisture drops below the threshold, and lower limit is configured, the zone becomes eligible to run based on its program settings. When soil moisture rises above the threshold, and upper limit is configured, the controller will water the zones for an additional 10% of the water time to increase deep watering before setting the zone to done.
