Operating Instructions

1. Remote Control On/Off

Once paired, you can remotely switch the water flow on or off from anywhere using the Tuya Smart or Smart Life app on your phone.

2. Timed Irrigation Program Setting

Set up regular watering schedules to automate your irrigation tasks:

• Navigate to the 'Timing Irrigation' section in the app.
• Slide to set the desired irrigation start time and duration.
• Choose the weekly cycle (e.g., specific days, odd days, or even days).
• Save your program.

3. Quantitative Watering

For precise water management, you can set a specific amount of water to be dispensed:

• In the app, go to 'Irrigation settings'.
• Select 'Amount irrigation' and input the desired volume (e.g., in gallons).
• Confirm the setting.

4. Water Metering and Records

The built-in sensor accurately measures water consumption. You can view the total water used and access watering records at any time through the app for better tracking and water-saving efforts.

• Check 'Water Total' in the app settings to see cumulative water usage.
• Access 'Watering Records' to review past irrigation events.

5. Child Lock

6. Smart Scene Integration & Device Sharing

The timer can be integrated into smart scenes with other Tuya-compatible devices, such as solar soil sensors, for more advanced automation. You can also share control of the device with family members through the app.

Maintenance

• Battery Replacement: The device is powered by 4 x AA/LR6 1.5V batteries. Monitor the battery level in the app and replace all four batteries when they are low to ensure continuous operation.
• Cleaning: The timer has an IP66 waterproof rating, meaning it is protected against powerful water jets. You can clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the device in water.
• Environmental Conditions: Ensure the device operates within its specified working temperature (-10~60 °C) and humidity (1%~95% RH non-condensing) ranges to prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Device not connecting to Wi-Fi: Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi signal. The device does not support 5GHz networks. If your router is dual-band, make sure to connect your phone to the 2.4GHz network during setup and select the corresponding SSID.
• Water flow issues: Check that the water tap is fully open and there are no blockages in the hose or timer. Ensure batteries are not depleted.
• App not responding: Close and reopen the app. Check your phone's internet connection. If issues persist, try restarting the timer by removing and reinserting batteries.
• Inaccurate water metering: Ensure the device is installed correctly and there are no leaks around the connections.

User Tips

• Dedicated 2.4GHz Network: For optimal performance and stable connectivity, ensure your smart sprinkler timer is connected to a dedicated 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Many modern routers offer both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands; explicitly select the 2.4GHz option during setup.
• Regular Battery Checks: Proactively check the battery level in the app, especially before extended periods of absence, to avoid interruptions in your watering schedule.
• Leverage Smart Scenes: Explore creating smart scenes with other Tuya-compatible devices, like soil moisture sensors, to enable truly intelligent and water-efficient irrigation based on real-time environmental data.
