When in Manuell Mode, Zones do not switch ooff after set time about homebridge-smart-irrigation

This is the intended operation - the ability to shut off after the duration set from Homekit is inherent in valves, however in this case the plugin does not poll the set value and handle the remaining time in order to shut the valve off - it's logic currently is to leave the "manual" mode completely in user control. Essentially, it handles driving the valves as per the times calculated under the "Scheduled" mode - rather than handling the control when in Manual mode. As a matter of fact this is the reason I suggest that the "real valve" you are using should have a fail-safe "default" time set to a value somewhat higher than the longest duration you expect a single cycle of that zone to last

To add to the above, I would need to further go down the road where in case a user sets the time manually, I must force the system off the "Scheduled" mode into a "Manual" mode if it is not already so - cancel all schedules - and wait for some other input from the user to decide whether to use climate intelligence at all or not.. or wait for a check on next sunrise or another time to re-enable schedules... gets kind of messy down this path!

At this time, if in manual mode the set duration shows as "0" while in Scheduled mode it will show the cycle time for that zone that has been calculated - so its more of a display characteristic to give the user some information.
