2. Timed Irrigation Mode

Program automated watering schedules for each of the four independent outlets. Each valve can be programmed with up to 6 different watering schedules, totaling 24 individual programs. You can set watering frequency options:

• Every even or odd day
• Custom schedule based on specific days of the week

3. Mist Irrigation Mode

This mode allows two outputs to turn on and off intermittently. Set a start time, misting duration (1 to 60 minutes), and frequency (1 to 60 minutes interval) for each day of the week. This mode is suitable for misting systems, outdoor cooling, and dust reduction.

4. Rain Delay Function

To conserve water, the Rain Delay function allows you to pause your watering schedule for 24, 48, or 72 hours. The app will display the remaining watering time.

Maintenance

• Filter Cleaning: The internal filter can trap dirt particles. Please clean the filter regularly to prevent blockages and ensure optimal water flow.
• Battery Replacement: When replacing batteries, ensure the water timer is completely dry. Use 4 new AA alkaline batteries.
• Winter Storage: Do not use your timer when the air temperature is below 3°C (37°F). The timers should be removed from the hose faucet and stored indoors to avoid potential frozen damage.

Troubleshooting

• Connection Issues:
  • Ensure your WiFi gateway (hub) is connected to a 2.4 GHz WiFi frequency.
  • Verify the range of connection and control is within 60m (196ft) in an open area.
  • Avoid placing the water valve in an underground water valve box or in locations where the signal may be blocked.
• Low Water Pressure: Adequate water pressure is required when all 4 zone ports are operating simultaneously. If pressure is insufficient, rotate the 4 zone ports to avoid reduced water flow through each port.
• Pairing Failure: When adding the water timer, ensure the water valve is closed. Otherwise, it may cause pairing failure (water timer lights will not flash).
• Automatic Shut-off: The valve will shut down automatically when the battery voltage is lower than 4.3V. Replace batteries promptly.
