The Station delay sets a short delay in starting a station. Useful when a pump needs to build pressure before opening a valve.
There are a couple of ways to run multiple stations (valves) at the same time.
1) You can set SIP to concurrent mode: Options > Station Handling > Uncheck Sequential
This will run all stations that are programmed to start at a set time.
2) The combine_stations plugin does something like what you describe as Groups. It allows multiple stations to to run simultaneously when SIP is in Sequential mode. The plugin creates 8 virtual stations which can consist of any combination of regular stations. It was created to allow mixing sequential and concurrent operations.
Something else to look at is Individual Durations Optons > Station Handling > check Individual durations
When you create irrigation programs with this option set each station in a program can have a different run time. Thay will be run sequentially.
