Can you run the controller manually?

Yes. There is a button allowing you to run a complete cycle through all the stations and it shuts off when complete. It will also allow you to select individual stations for a "one time" watering.
1769305
Yes. You have a choice of running all the zones at one time or you can choose to run just one zone.
1769306
Yes, there is a manual override. But again, if there is a power failure while the program for the stations is maintained, the clock is not so the program is useless
1769307
Yes. With the controller in the "off" position, manual mode defaults to 10 minutes. for whatever zone you chose. With the controller in the "auto run" position, you can run manually from zone 1 followed by the next zone until you stop. Each zone defaults to 30 minutes.

Yes, and it gets better than that. For rainy days, you can either add a rain sensor or manually set a rain delay. Unlike simply turning off the system, it will resume program after the prescribed rain delay (in 6 hour increments, IIRC). And yes, manual control on this system cannot be any simpler. Switch to manual and turn on the zone. One of the best upgrades to the house I've made, and for an excellent price I was able to combine two separate systems (front and back yards were done at different times with two different units, pain, this solved that problem as well).

This is a fairly difficult question to answer. What kind of controller are you using?

No you don't need a PS to use it. The games set up to run a controller will find the controller and have you set up the buttons how you want. It's almost plug and play.

I think you can on the right side of the controller is a small joystick for forward backward left and right.I think you can run it with your pointer finger

Yes. The controller allows you to select many different colors or rotate through all the colorsor set up your own program.

You can program the buttons based on what game you play in game settings. Although, some games don't have a setup for the buttons.

Sorry for the delay. I assume its only a computer game, like the previous two answers. But, if you want to try it out, go for it. I know there are games you can have the controller hooked up to it as well. If you want, contact WildTangent games.

Make sure both controller and power button are pressed and let run fo two minutes.

No, you cannot. It is just like the xbox 360 kit, you need a wired controller.

Hi.The controller can be turned on without having it plugged in the USB cable. The rechargeable battery allows independent operation. Regards

Yes, you are able to take full control of this. I manually set these all the time.

I've heard of JoyToKey (google it), I'm not familiar with actually using it, but I believe it's a way to enable a controller to emulate a mouse and keyboard

Yes you can provided you have the correct drivers, however for my controller one of the bumper buttons broke after only a few months, if you're going to be using it heavily I wouldn't recommend this controller.

No, you can still turn it on manually. The programming will resume. We really liked these!

I can't say directly, but the controller does have two modes. If Ubuntu can handle either Xinput or DirectInput controllers, then in theory it should be use this controller (A quick Google search leads me to believe it has native Xinput support and you can get Directinput working using a Utility called xboxdrv).

You can operate the unit locally from the control panel on the top. The manual is actually pretty good in describing the menu structure. If you are using an external programmable control unit then you have to buy the Intellicom 2 interface, which will enable a speed that you pre-program into the pump when the controller turns the unit on.

I just experimented with pushing the various buttons on the remote. I am not sure if it is possible to automatically set it to move through all the settings on its own.
