My goal turn the WeMo on for 10mins

to drains the tables into the pond.

Then turn it off for 20mins to ebb the deep water beds.

Repeat 24hrs per day.

WeMo required start on the hr then auto-shut off.

Not going to work.

Solution,

4. Download WeMo python app

5. Setup bash script to turn on the flow

& hold the ebb (Outputs to a txt log)
