Runs, skips, and history

History separates delivered watering from the decisions that scheduled or held it.

Run log

Choose a date range or month, then search by zone or reason. All Months includes the available history across months.

Watering sessions are grouped by their start date in your installation’s timezone. Expand a session to see its cycle-and-soak segments and original records. Automatic and manual runs retain their sources.

A session ID identifies related records. Older records without an ID remain separate; nearby timestamps alone do not establish that they belong together.

Daily log

Use the Daily log to answer what happened to the normal run that morning? It includes recorded automatic watering and skipped mornings, with zone reasons.

A live hold shown in the app is not automatically a historical skip. The log needs a recorded outcome. When that evidence is absent, LocalSky shows no record.

Watering insights

Choose the labeled 30-day, 90-day, or one-year reporting window.

Duration is not measured volume. Gallons require a supported, connected flow meter and valid readings. An empty day does not prove a skip or zero use.

Rain forecast review

Expand Rain forecast review below the watering insights to compare past forecasts with observed rain. Only completed days with enough evidence are scored. Today’s partial rainfall cannot establish whether a forecast was correct.

This comparison measures forecast outcomes, not water saved.

Export and recovery

Download CSV exports stored records. Print creates a report. History lives in LocalSky’s database and is included in a LocalSky backup.

A failed history request is shown as unavailable. It is not converted into an empty successful report.
