Scene Automation Example - Water Zone 1 @ 7am on Sun, Tue, Thu & Sat and send an app notification

Using your connected WX8 create an Automation scenario that will water Zone 1 at 7am on Sundays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays and send an app notification.

Note: This automation will not be influenced by any attached Rain Sensor and so will water regardless.
Note: It is not possible to water more than one Zone at a time unless you choose Start A, Start B or Start C.

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