It would seem so(with a caveat):

CREATE TABLE automatic.measurement (
     city_id         int not null,



     logdate         date not null,



     peaktemp        int,
     unitsales       int,
     origin          int
) PARTITION BY RANGE (origin);
CREATE TABLE

CREATE TABLE automatic.measurement_automatic PARTITION OF
automatic.measurement
test-#     FOR VALUES FROM (1) TO (1)
test-#     PARTITION BY RANGE (origin);
ERROR:  empty range bound specified for partition "measurement_automatic"
DETAIL:  Specified lower bound (1) is greater than or equal to upper
bound (1).

OOPS, so lets cheat:

<NOTE> Removed PARTITION BY RANGE (origin) as it is redundant and causes
problems later.

CREATE TABLE automatic.measurement_automatic PARTITION OF
automatic.measurement
     FOR VALUES FROM (1) TO (2)
CREATE TABLE

CREATE TABLE manual.measurement_manual PARTITION OF automatic.measurement
     FOR VALUES FROM (3) TO (4)
CREATE TABLE

The above assumes that manual origin will be in (1,2) and automatic in (3,4)

insert into automatic.measurement values(1, '04/16/19', 25, 100, 1);
INSERT 0 1

insert into automatic.measurement values(1, '04/16/19', 25, 100, 3);
INSERT 0 1

  select * from automatic.measurement_automatic ;
  city_id |  logdate   | peaktemp | unitsales | origin
---------+------------+----------+-----------+--------
        1 | 2019-04-16 |       25 |       100 |      1
(1 row)

select * from manual.measurement_manual;
  city_id |  logdate   | peaktemp | unitsales | origin
---------+------------+----------+-----------+--------
        1 | 2019-04-16 |       25 |       100 |      3
(1 row)
