5. Operating Modes

The Diivoo WiFi Water Timer offers several operating modes to suit your watering needs.

5.1. Timed Irrigation Mode

This mode allows you to set specific schedules for automatic watering. Each of the three zones can be programmed independently with up to 6 different watering schedules, totaling 18 individual programs.

• Scheduling: Set start times, duration, and frequency (e.g., daily, even days, odd days, or custom days of the week).
• Customization: Tailor watering plans for different areas like lawns, gardens, or pools without affecting other zones.

5.2. Misting Irrigation Mode

Ideal for misting systems, outdoor cooling, or dust reduction, this mode cycles water on and off intermittently.

• Settings: Choose a start time, mist duration (1-60 minutes), and frequency (Mon-Sun).
• Intervals: The timer will automatically manage the on/off intervals within the set duration.

5.3. Manual Watering Mode

For immediate watering needs, you can activate manual mode directly from the timer unit or through the HomGar app.

• App Manual Mode: Set watering duration from 1 minute to 12 hours via the app.
• Manual Buttons: Pressing the manual button on the timer unit will typically initiate watering for a default duration (e.g., 10 minutes).

6. Smart Control Features

6.1. Remote Control with HomGar App

Once connected to the WiFi hub, you can manage your watering schedules and modes from anywhere using the HomGar app on your smartphone.

6.2. Voice Control

The Diivoo WiFi Water Timer is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing for hands-free control of your irrigation system.

• Example Commands:
  "Alexa, open my Diivoo WiFi Water Timer."
  "Hey Google, start watering Zone 1 for 15 minutes."

7. Rain Delay Function

To conserve water and prevent overwatering during rainy periods, utilize the Rain Delay function.

• Activation: Access the Rain Delay feature through the HomGar app.
• Duration: You can set the delay for 24, 48, or 72 hours. All scheduled watering will be postponed for the selected period.

8. Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: Replace batteries when the low battery indicator appears in the app or on the device. Always use fresh AA Alkaline batteries.
• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the timer with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals.
• Winter Storage: Before freezing temperatures, disconnect the timer from the faucet, remove batteries, and store it indoors in a dry, frost-free location.
• Filter Cleaning: Check the inlet filter for debris and clean it as needed to ensure proper water flow.

9. Troubleshooting

• No Water Flow:
  • Check if the faucet is fully open.
  • Ensure batteries are correctly installed and not depleted.
  • Verify that the timer is not in Rain Delay mode.
  • Check for debris in the inlet filter.
• App Connectivity Issues:
  • Ensure your WiFi hub is powered on and within range (up to 196ft/60m) of the water timer.
  • Confirm your home WiFi network is 2.4 GHz. The device does not support 5 GHz WiFi.
  • Restart your WiFi router, the WiFi hub, and the water timer (by removing and reinserting batteries).
  • Ensure your smartphone is connected to the internet.
• Leaks from Connections:
  • Tighten all connections securely.
  • Use Teflon tape on threaded connections if leaks persist.
  • Ensure rubber washers are properly seated.
• Voice Control Not Working:
  • Ensure the Diivoo skill/action is enabled in your Alexa or Google Home app.
  • Verify the water timer is properly linked to your smart assistant account.
  • Check your internet connection.

10. User Tips

• WiFi Setup: When connecting to your home network, ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz signal. Many modern routers offer both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz; the Diivoo timer only works with 2.4 GHz.
• Battery Life: To maximize battery life, use high-quality alkaline batteries. Consider replacing them at the start of each watering season.
• Thread Compatibility: The timer uses standard 3/4" threads. If your faucet or hoses have different sizes, you may need to purchase appropriate adapters separately.
