4.1 Scheduling Watering Programs

The Insoma WiFi Water Timer supports up to 20 watering schedules, including two main types:

• Normal Schedule Type: Set a specific start time, irrigation duration (1 minute to 24 hours), and select the days of the week for watering.
• Cycle & Soak Type: Ideal for efficient watering, this mode allows you to set a start time, end time, and then define a cycle duration (e.g., 10 minutes) and a soak duration (e.g., 5 minutes) within that period. This helps water penetrate the soil better and reduces runoff.
