FAQs

How do I set up a watering schedule?

Open the SMART+ app, navigate to the irrigation controller section, and select 'Create Schedule'. You can then set specific days, times, durations, and choose between the deep watering or spray irrigation modes.

Can I water my garden manually?

Yes, you can initiate manual watering directly from the controller button or through the SMART+ app by tapping the 'Manual Watering' option.

What type of Wi-Fi network is required?

The controller requires a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network for connection. It is not compatible with 5 GHz networks.

Is the soil moisture sensor included?

No, the soil moisture and temperature sensor is sold separately. It can be connected to the controller to enable more intelligent, sensor-driven watering.

How long does the battery last?

The integrated solar-assisted rechargeable battery is designed to last a full watering season. Actual duration depends on sunlight exposure and usage patterns. It can also be recharged via USB-C.

What is the IP rating and what does it mean?

The controller has an IP55 rating. This means it is protected against dust ingress and against low-pressure jets of water from any direction, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Can I connect it to different faucet sizes?

The inlet thread is compatible with standard ¾" and 1" garden hose threads. Adapters might be needed for other faucet types.

Troubleshooting

Controller not connecting to Wi-Fi

Ensure you are using a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, check your Wi-Fi password, and move the controller closer to the router during setup. Restart your router and the controller.

Water is not dispensing

Verify the water supply is turned on, check that the schedule is active, and ensure there are no kinks in the hose. Confirm the controller is powered on and connected.

App shows device offline

Check your home Wi-Fi connection and ensure the controller is within range. Power cycle the controller and your router.

Inaccurate water meter readings

Ensure the water meter is properly installed and free of debris. Run a manual watering cycle to calibrate if necessary.

Battery draining quickly

Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving adequate sunlight. Check for any firmware updates via the app. If issues persist, consider using USB-C charging more frequently.

Care:
