I have some of it figured out, but a few areas need some help. Here’s what we have now and what we do… An electrical enclosure with 5 on/off toggle switches. Each switch is wired to a solenoid valve (attached on 5 different pipes) that open or close when the corresponding switch position is changed. We always have 1 switch open and 4 closed (never more than 1 open at a time).

Node-RED is a little odd with its inject nodes… You can do something at an interval, or at a specific time once a day, but repeating at a specific time all day and all night is not in its bag of tricks.
