Scene Automation Example - Setup a Watering Schedule for the WX1 Tap Timer that also sends an app notification when the watering starts

Using your connected WX1 Tap Timer create an Automation scenario that will water for 10 minutes at 6am on Sundays and Thursdays and send an app notification to the Message Centre in the Holman Home app when the watering starts.

Note: This automation will not be influenced by any attached Smart Moisture Sensor and so will water regardless.

This is a screenshot of the finished example, see below for the steps required to create it.
