Driver Notes

- The Schedule List is constructed using a GET command that returns two weeks worth of schedules. This might cause the list to not match the Webapp list of schedules if a schedule doesn't run in the two week window. A schedule list update function was provided for the user to periodically update the list becuase this limitation as well as added/removed schedules. This mainly only affects Flexible Daily Schedules

-Flexible Daily Schedules will not populate the zone duration sysvars, they are set to zero instead.

-Events are provided for Start/Stop of schedules and zones

-Last watered date sysvars are updated after a schedule ends, not each zone.
