Watering Schedule Types

Choose between two primary scheduling modes:

• Timed Watering Mode: Set specific start times, irrigation durations, and weekly cycles (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri) or choose odd/even days.
• Cyclical Watering Mode: Define a circulation unit with a start and end time, splitting the watering duration into multiple shorter intervals with specified interval times. This mode is ideal for water absorption.
