Program with Multiple Cycles - Input/Scheduled Watering Time Not As Expected
Story:
I've created a program to winterize my system with my small air compressor. Basically, desire is to turn on a zone for 50 seconds, rest 1min 30sec for the air compressor, then proceed to the next zone, and repeat/cycle 6 times.
Expected:
The per zone time is respected (50 seconds). As I was drafting this, I realized that when cycle in used in the program, the actual on/off duration per cycle is (inputted zone duration ÷ number of cycles). In my case, to get 50 seconds per zone per cycle, I have to enter 5 minutes or 300 seconds (300 ÷ 6 = 50 seconds per cycle) vs the 50 seconds.
Workaround:
Do manual math an multiply desired duration by # of cycles.

See screenshot. Change UI to show that I'll be getting 50 seconds per cycle to alleviate confusion.
