Sprinkler automation

Hello all

I've turned on the sprinkler automation with this program:

Every morning at 9:00am, run inner loop for 11 minutes, then outer loop for 13 minutes. The times are just based on what we used last year, they are easy to adjust.

Every afternoon at 4:00pm, same schedule.

Then there are these modifiers:

Factor sprinkler on times by ((currentTemperature - 70) * 0.01666 ) + 1.0. This increases sprinkler run times above 70, and decreases them below 70.

Don't run a cycle if "raining".

The weather stats are updated every few minutes automatically.

That's it, let me know if anything needs to be changed.
