Sample Pause Automation:

One use case for automating the pause feature is to fill a tank from a slow well.

In this example it takes 30 Minutes to fill the tank and 4 minutes to empty it once watering commences. This example could be extended to support a sensor when the tank is full.

Triggered when the program starts.

1. Turn on the pump
2. Repeat while the irrigation program is on
   • Water for 4 Minutes
   • Pause the program
   • Wait for 30 minutes
   • Resume the program
3. Turn the pump off
