Hi,

I am wanting to make a automation that does the following below for automating a sprinkler system. Any ideas on the best way to do it?

1 - Turn green house fan off
2 - After 10 seconds delay
3 - Turn the sprinkler system on for 1 minute
4 - After 10 seconds delay
5 - Turn the green house fan on

Would it be better to make it a script that HA runs?

Yup, a script would be the easy way to do this. You could even use the script builder.

Thanks guys,

I ended up making a script that runs it perfectly.

At the moment I have it linked to an inout boolean that when I turn on runs the script. If I wanted to run the script 3x per week say Mon, Wed and Friday would I need to make an automation for each on/off on those days or is there a better way to run it as one process?
