}


# set faucet name
raincloudy.controller.faucet.name = 'Outside Left'
raincloudy.controller.faucet.name
'Outside Left'

# enable automatic program for zone1
raincloudy.controller.faucet.zone1.auto_watering = True

# run water for 15 minutes on zone3
raincloudy.controller.faucet.zone3.manual_watering = 15

# set rain delay for 2 days on zone2
