    Quick question. I just got a Hydrawise system and I usually like to have multiple programs for like spring, summer and fall etc. I want to keep the programs saved but there isn't a way to suspend the programs I want saved for different seasons? Is the only way to disable it is to use interval days and make sure no days are highlighted? Or is there a way to suspend? Also thoughts on "predictive watering" I feel like the forecasts on the app aren't always accurate. Thank you
