question about one of my Automation -> Tasks

[v1rtu0s1ty]

I have these rules
 
WHENEVER the time is 9am (Cust set 9)
    THEN ACTIVATE Enable Sprinklers (Task 2)
 
WHENEVER Enable Sprinklers (Task 2) is ACTIVATED
    THEN TURN Orbit Back Valve 1 (Out 9) ON FOR 10 MINS
 
Will the "Enable Sprinklers(Task 2)" task deactivate when Orbit Back Valve1 completes 10 mins?
 
Thanks!
 
Neil

Unless I'm getting Rusty, a "Task" is a one-time operation... meaning you activate a task and it goes and does its thing, but it doesn't stay "On" per se...  think momentary button vs. latching...
 
As soon as you press that Task, it doesn't stay on.  So for example, if you were looking to tie a function button or something to the status, you'd need to tie it to an output, not a task.

Btw, can I activate my Enable Sprinklers (Task 2) via keypad? I tried searching for it but I couldn't find it.
