Alert: SLW Communication Error
Description
This alert is generated when the weather station has failed to communicated with the controller.
What might happen as a result of the issue?
The controller will continue to operate in Auto Adjust mode, calculating run times as normal based on the last data received, for 5 consecutive days without communication.
After 5 days, controller will automatically change to Standard mode and begin watering based on standard run times.
After 5 days, you will also receive a NORMAL to NONE SLW error indicating there is no SLW attached and steps must be taken to re-sync devices.
Resolution(s)

Poor radio signal between controller and weather station: See here for tips on placement.
Weather stations batteries have failed: See here for battery replacement.
