What model do you have because at least Gen 2 does that. You can even change the what wind speed to not water at if it gets that high. Have you tied it into a local weather station near you?
I had gen2 and on gen3 now. You sure it adds water if the temp will be higher tomorrow?
I don't ever plan on using the smart features, because I feel like they're inconvenient, when I can just go out and look and see how try the dirt is on hill or grass.
If it's hot one week then I just water an extra day.
If not, there's only comes on once a week for the hill and planters. Grass water l, 4-7 min, every morning and an extra 2 minutes on each station around 5pm, for the summer.
Sure wind can dry things up a little bit.
but I'm not worried about small patches of dead grass. All I'm worried about is keeping the HOA off my back.
Anyways the orbit works great being able to control app on my phone. But I can't seem to water more than one station at once via the phone, under test.
Is it that limited, what am I missing? Does the Rachito have the same issue?

Probably fairly easy trial and error to determine which wire goes to which zone. Just wire in any order (I think white is usually common) and turn on zone by zone to see which wire does what.
Could also look at the valve side to see what color wire goes to each valve

You can't run multiple stations at the same time on any devices.
