Sprinkler - Enabling and Disabling Zones

Can someone tell me what the “Enable” switch in the app does on the zone setting page? I have a zone that I rarely need watered so I flipped the “Enable” switch for that zone off. The zone grayed out on the page with all the zones so I assumed it wouldn’t run. Turns out it has been running for months. How does the “Enable” switch turned off not turn off that zone??? A better description then “Enable” would help, along with an actual app manual.
I went in to the schedule today and edited it so that zone isn’t in the schedule. I hope that does the trick but the app needs to be fixed or at least clear.

That’s to disable it on the quick run screen.

If you have a schedule, you have to also flip the “Enable” to off in the schedule or it will still run on the schedule.

I had 2 zones with a broken sprinkler and had to disable them until I could fix them and I learned you have to disable them in each schedule separately not just in the main “Quick run” screen.

(At least that’s how it seems to work on mine. I just bought one a couple of weeks ago and noticed I had to disable it multiple places).

I agree that if we disable it on the main Quick run page it should be disabled everywhere.

Thanks. I will give that a try when I get it working. Now the schedule runs but no water actually sprays. So far I want to like it but can’t.

I am a fan of WYZE, owning bulb camera, scale and sprinkler control. I also find trying to shut off sprinklers using app not very intuitive. Tried numerous times to shut off (enable switch) and still woke up to sprinklers working in rain. Instead of or an addition to enable menu add a simple system on / off system switch.
