Operating Instructions
1. Remote Control via App
The SOGUYI app provides full control over your irrigation system. You can:
- Set Watering Schedules: Create up to 5 custom watering programs for each outlet (Zone A and Zone B). Define start times, durations (1 second to 59 minutes 59 seconds), and frequency (single time or specific days of the week).
- Manual Watering: Initiate immediate watering sessions for a specified duration directly from the app.
- View Status: Check the current status of each zone, including upcoming schedules and manual watering progress.
2. Smart Weather-Based Watering
Leverage the smart weather delay feature to conserve water. The controller can automatically skip scheduled watering if rain is detected in your local forecast. You can also manually set a rain delay for 1 to 7 days to prevent overwatering.

3. Watering Modes and Frequency
The controller supports two primary watering modes:
- Irrigation Mode: Ideal for general watering of lawns and gardens. Set specific start times and durations.
- Spray Mode: Suitable for misting, cooling, or specific plant needs. Allows for flexible running durations and intervals between sprays.
Both modes offer frequency options for single-time watering or recurring schedules on specific days (Monday-Sunday).
