Product Overview

The Moistenland WiFi Water Timer system consists of two primary components: the water timer unit and the WiFi hub. The water timer connects directly to your outdoor faucet and hose, while the WiFi hub plugs into a standard power outlet and connects to your home's 2.4GHz WiFi network. This hub acts as a bridge, enabling remote control of the water timer via the Tuya app.

Winter Storage: In regions with freezing temperatures, disconnect the water timer from the faucet and store it indoors in a dry, frost-free location during winter months to prevent damage from freezing water.
Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the timer with a damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Problem	Possible Cause	Solution
Timer not connecting to WiFi Hub/App	WiFi Hub not connected to 2.4GHz WiFi. Timer out of Bluetooth range of the hub. Incorrect pairing procedure.
