I would like to request adding an option to flag a zone as "soak needed". This feature is to add a soak option to a zone’s attributes where it will half the runtime of a zone but cycle through the zone list of the cycle twice and in the second run start only the zones with the soak option enabled. A possible place for this on the UI is with a checkbox in the zone's popup containing the additional information.
Use Case: My soil is of a clay/loam type soil and it is recommended to run a cycle with a soak period in between. E.g. Zone 1 needs a total of 10mins of watering to satisfy the plant requirements, then the irrigation should run for 5 mins, wait a bit and run again for 5 mins.
I’m currently achieving this by abusing the ‘Afternoon’ cycle.
