Description
With this set, you get everything you need to remotely manage watering schedules for one hose through an app. The timer and the app are used to manage watering, while the controller connects them to your home Wi-Fi and allows you to add other one-zone or two-zone timers for additional hoses.
Through the app, you can create six advanced watering schedules set up any way you like. You can program it to deploy only on odd or even days, weekdays or weekends, or use the override setting to bypass the watering schedule altogether.
When you set a water usage and/or duration limit in the app, the timer pauses watering once the limit has been reached – for instance, after 10 minutes or once you have used 4 gallons of water, whichever comes first. Your water usage data is recorded in the app, with monthly and daily statistics measured and displayed in a long-term or short-term curve.
An optional cycle and soak mode allows you to turn your water on and off in second-long increments for application when using misting irrigation systems or a soaker hose. This intermittently pauses the flow to let water sink into the soil, reducing runoff and evaporation, which is beneficial for those with slow-draining soil.
The app displays a weather forecast for your area, so you can check if it is going to rain and then set the rain delay feature to pause watering for up to 72 hours.
With a USB port and included USB cord, the controller can be plugged into a TV, a computer or a USB adapter plug (you supply) for power.
As with all water connectors, remove the water timer from the faucet before frost hits to prevent damage. Requires four AA batteries (not included).
