Show me "next watering time" while I'm on the zone screen before I start a manual watering cycle

If I see a dry area, I pull out my phone (or use the web interface), and I manually water it for, say, 5 minutes.  That's great.  But, if it's 5 p.m. and the next schedule runtime is that same night at 9 p.m., I don't want to manually water anything because it is due to run in a few hours anyway.   On the flip side, if it is due to run again in another day or two, then I DO want to start a manual watering.  But, I never know unless I go into the programs mode, which is annoying.   So please add quick indicator text on the manual zone screen telling me "Next watering: Nov 7 @ 9 p.m." or similar.

Thanks.

  On the dashboard it will tell you when the next watering time is. Perhaps we could add that to the manual watering screen as well.

  Lukas, on the dashboard, it shows you the next watering time for a PROGRAM but you'd have to remember which zone is in which program -- not to mention changing out of the zone screen to take a look, which while on a cell phone walking around the yard, can be slow.   In practice, if I see a dry area, I go to the zone screen and turn on that zone for a few minutes of manual watering; it is there that I would prefer to see the next watering time so if I'm about to add 5 minutes of water, I could stop if I see the next watering time is just a few hours away.  Thanks for considering the suggestion.
