PILOT - Manual Irrigation

Manual irrigation is used to manually start schedules or stations. Both automatic schedules (Schedule Irrigation) and manual-only schedules (those with water days set to manual) can be started this way. Manual irrigation is allowed even when the controller is paused (Pause) or in rain shutdown (Rain Shutdown).
